Not Trump's America: Greetings from Chesterfield County, Virginia, where Democrats steadily cut into GOP hegemony

What Made Virginia Change Its Mind on Guns?  (The New York Times, 1/30/2020)

But in recent years, the district has tilted leftward as once rural areas of Chesterfield County have been developed into housing that attracts young professionals. The newcomers often have brought different, more liberal political sensibilities, becoming a potent force on gun safety issues. And some suburban women, even longer-term residents of the district like Ms. Johnson, who now considers herself a Democrat, have changed their opinions on gun control or increasingly seen gun limits as central to their political outlook.
