Richmond Virginia and the eastern counties near Washington D.C. soon began practicing “Total War” with the rebellious counties of western, central, and southern Virginia. But they did not have enough military power answering them to retake those counties, and so they followed the tried and true tactics of the decades-long culture war. Any Virginian who did not sufficiently and publicly voice their support for the Richmond government soon found themselves cancelled. Social network accounts silenced and banned. Businesses and homes protested, invaded, and burned down. Children named, shamed, and harassed in school. Public protests chased cancelled Virginians through the streets with baseball bats and firearms, and any who defended themselves were quickly arrested for assault, attempted murder, or whatever other charges the government deemed appropriate.
