Everything in the article is correct and in fact much worse, Virginia repukes are extremely proud to be stupid, dark-ages racists who constantly vote against the interests of society and mankind overall. They actively pursue idiocy as if it's some fun little game they can play in order to tell the rest of the world to fck off. It's mental illness in its purest form.
In a society where idiots could be voted out they would be but, politics in the U.S. is corrupt and run by criminals who thrive on greed. The laws and the lawmakers in Virginia are mostly bought and so "law" doesn't really mean anything to anyone except the abusive cops who love yelling at people and collecting ticket money.
So in a society that doesn't take mental illness or health care seriously and exists purely for the profiteering created by "deregulating" governments it'd be great if such justice existed as being able to vote out regressive knuckleheads but it doesn't. The U.S. could start by having a Justice Department that actually upheld laws but that doesn't exist either.
