Fairfax, Virginia, is a suburb of Washington, D.C., and is one of the most reliably Democratic counties in the entire country. More than 65% of residents voted for Kamala Harris in the last presidential election. It’s also a mostly white, affluent county, where the median household income is well over $120,000. In Fairfax, to the extent you come across any local drama at all, it usually has to do with dismantling the school system in the name of “diversity,” or how Donald Trump is being too mean to government “workers,” or how delusional boys should be allowed to compete in girls’ sports (and use the girls’ locker room).
Put another way, Fairfax is one of those places where Democrats congratulate each other for being far more civilized, and far more rational and forward-thinking than their political opponents. In Fairfax, they’ve rejected the bigotry of the Trump administration — the xenophobia, the racism, the horrific ableism that’s involved in calling reporters “retarded” to their faces, and so on.
