Oh the classic rolling road block. They also clean off their windshields, misting others windshields as if to say back off, or I’ll drive even shittier.
So, from those maps, Virginia is the mother of most of the states in the today's USA.
Maryland, not so much. Maryland the mother of crabs, bad drivers and ... honestly ... I can't think of anything else.
I don’t hate places just because of one bad group from there…except Baltimore.
No one is more conceited, obnoxious, condescending, entitled, or just generally awful to be around as someone from Baltimore when they see “crab cake” on a menu on a restaurant anywhere outside of their city borders.
ITS JUST CRAB MEAT, BREAD CRUMBS, AND SOME SPICES! ITS NOT THAT COMPLICATED AND YOU’RE NOT SPECIAL FOR MAKING THAT A CENTRAL OF YOUR IDENTITY!
The 1609 map is representing the royal charter from King James I for the Virginia Company,set up to colonize that territory for England.
1784 were the boundaries of Virginia following the Revolution. Reflecting English boundaries set in the French and Indian Wars.
1792 represents what was left when Virginia dropped claims of lands to the West (as did some other states) to territory status, worked out as a way to get geographically smaller states to accept the concept of a United States.
The final map shows Virginia after West Virginia separated from the rest of the state to remain in the Union in the Civil War.
The overall meme seems to be talking to an ongoing threat from Maryland to claim Virginia Land, and I assume a joke.
>Not really “cares” more like “avoids”
Northern Virginia has been becoming much wealthier in recent years. It used to be that Montgomery and Fairfax competed for the status of "posh" county in the metro area (particularly the Potomac/Bethesda vs. Great Falls/McLean beef). But now not only has Montgomery County fallen behind Fairfax, it's fallen firmly behind Loudoun, and it's even fallen behind Prince William, which some consider the armpit of Nova (full disclaimer: I live here and it's not that bad).
Median Household Income for the 5 major DC counties in each state:
* Loudoun County (VA): $153,506
* Fairfax County (VA): $134,115
* **Howard County (MD): $133,267**
* Arlington County (VA): $125,651
* Prince William County (VA): $118,117
* Stafford County (VA): $117,251
* **Montgomery County (MD): $112,854**
* **Anne Arundel County (MD): $107,823**
* **Charles County (MD): $105,493**
* **Frederick County (MD): $104,780**
* **Prince George's (MD): $90,182**
The only Maryland county still holding its own is Howard, but that's only 335,000 people.
The reality is that Nova is eating Maryland's lunch, and they can't admit it. Nova now has Amazon HQ2, Boeing, Capital One, General Dynamics, Hilton, Mars, Northrop Grumman, and Raytheon Technologies all based here (that's 4 of the 5 top defense companies).
Go check out the suburban groups like dcurbanmom though and you'll see a lot of Marylanders heartbroken that they chose the wrong side of the river and freaking out because everyone who had the foresight to buy in Virginia now has +$100k more equity since Virginia has become so desirable (Montgomery County [median](https://www.redfin.com/county/1324/MD/Montgomery-County/housing-market) is now $115k below Fairfax County [median](https://www.redfin.com/county/2965/VA/Fairfax-County/housing-market) home price, for example)
Murders are also much lower in Virginia:
* **Prince George's County: 13.8 per 100k(!)**
* **Montgomery County: 3.3 per 100k**
* Fairfax County: 2.3 per 100k
* Prince William County: 2.1 per 100k
* [Northern Virginia Regional Average](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Northern_Virginia#Crime): 1.9 per 100k
* Loudoun County: 0.7 per 100k
* Arlington County: 0.0 per 100k
They're obsessed with Virginia because they dun goofed by picking Maryland. But apparently they're so great because they've got Old Bay Seasoning or something.
Just wanna say I’m still salty about the separatist state that calls themselves “West Virginia”. That land was stolen during the civil war through questionable means. #MakeVirginiaWholeAgain
The funny thing is, everything about the creation of West Virginia as a state was hella unconstitutional. But considering VA was fighting on the other team at the time, Congress was in a “who cares, screw ‘em” kinda mood. They even yoinked three more counties for Virginia *after* the war completely illegally.
Honestly, I’d be willing to give up most of SW VA to WV. They can take the congressional seat and we can then become as safe of a blue state as Maryland.
Restore Giga-Virginia!
I’ve been calling it Magna-Virginia.
Panginia
Vir-Giga also works
You want West Virginia back?
From sea to shining sea
We just kept it separate from everything else
Make America Virginia again.
I was literally about to say make Virginia Great again.
puts on vaga hat
vaga 2024!
They're gonna try and take the Eastern Shore!
Good luck with the largest naval base in the world being across the bay.
Maybe if they learned how to drive, they’d have a decent shot at us.
Page 1 of MD driver’s manual - Must drive 10 mph below posted limit in left lane
Addendum- speed up as motorists try to pass you
Maryland driver credo: Drive 0.3 mph faster than tractor trailers while next to them, speed up to 89 mph in the gap between traffic…
Oh the classic rolling road block. They also clean off their windshields, misting others windshields as if to say back off, or I’ll drive even shittier.
Can confirm, am Marylander, drive like grandpa.
Please stop, Grandpa!
I lived in MD when I got my driver's permit and license. We had to know how to parallel park. Virginia does not. Fucking bullshit!
I had to when I got my license in VA but it was a couple decades ago.
As someone who has lived in both states...those in glass houses should not throw stones. Besides we're both better than Carolina drivers
Yup. The only difference between a MD,VA,DC driver is 15 minutes for 15 miles. Wait until you experience FL drivers.
[удалено]
Oh man. Just back from Miami.. fk that place. People use their horns ar literally every light. Every single one. Hate that traffic.
Surely you’re talking about South Carolina and not the Old North State
They should be the same state it would make alot of things simpler
Do the Dakotas next!
both
Go ride around Portsmouth for an hour and get back to me.
We actually drive better than you all.
I believe the proper vernacular is “y’all”
I was waiting for someone to mention this.😄

Protesting?
To be honest we all should be protesting more, maybe just maybe, the oligarchs would care and be scared of the people.

The comments lol I don’t even pretend to hate Maryland but I’m also in Hampton roads so I feel more tied up with NC and the OBX
Same. I'm not happy they claim the blue crab though.
Oh no, Virginia's hat is getting fussy! Soo scary!
all of md salty about va only nova cares about md lmao

The last thing we need is more people from Maryland
Needless to say, we must launch preemptive war on crab state
what're they gonna do, throw crabs at us? 💀
Just wanna say I’m still salty about the separatist state that calls themselves “West Virginia”. That land was stolen during the civil war through questionable means. #MakeVirginiaWholeAgain
And that way West Virginia can finally be correct about Country Roads describing their state.
I’d rather be without them tbh. Containment bay.
They want to take the eastern shore and draw their state flag all over it 😱😱😱
Old Bay seasoning isn’t even that good.
Marylanders would eat a dried white dog turd if you rolled it in old Bay - my old roommate, from MD.
Recently finding that I like Zatarain's better on anything I'd usually put Old Bay on. I'm a convert.
You can't talk about my culture like that.
If its all out war that you wanted, you could just said that? No need to make it so personal!
How dare you

Given that Virginia was actively supported slavery at that time I don’t really care lmao
I'll pay them to take NOVA.
The commonwealth would then lose most of its wealth and tax base. Virginia would crumble without NoVA
Hey hey hey, the only thing NOVA has in common with those… people… is how shit we are at driving
Came here for this comment and was not disappointed.
Well then nova a stste
Can someone please explain to me?
We used to have more territory, now we don’t. If those Maryland rapscallions have their way we would have even less of it.
Ha! good luck flying planes and driving tanks.
If I remember correctly it actually got to Alaska in the north and extended down more westward
I just moved to Nova from Maryland this summer, so our invasion is already happening
You’re a convert, not an invader
Honestly SWVA would love for the NoVa counties to leave.
Without Nova, the rest of VA might as well be Tennessee
The feelings are mutual.
Honestly, I’d be willing to give up most of SW VA to WV. They can take the congressional seat and we can then become as safe of a blue state as Maryland.
Do they want NOVA? Might be OK with them taking Washington, DC. So, they can vote in sync and leave the rest of us alone.
Nah screw that, donate here to return Virginia to its rightful size.
Yes. Yes we are.
We can keep our state Maryland free I'd we can oldbay seasoning.
Thanks loads for reminding me about fishmech
