It should be clear voting is an important thing to do because of this. Virginia is not a red state, yet here we are. One single election has cost us legal marijuana (it was passed under Democrat control, but the Republicans have all but destroyed it) and this, as well as several other issues.
To be clear, I'm aware this passed with bipartisan votes, but it's because it was going to pass regardless and running with your opponent's attack ads saying you voted against "protecting children" will be very harmful. VA is in a spiral with "children" as the supposed focus for basically theocratic control. Voters are uninformed enough that they will believe the ads and whatever they hear on the "news" without checking what the law actually was. It's becoming a real issue.
