VA Governor Ralph “Blackface Coonman” Northam is trying to make it illegal for us to shitpost about him and his dirtbag, globalist, pervert, woman beating, Democrat friends. (Fuck you, Ralph)

Free Speech is no longer allowed so be careful what you post
Pretty sure that this was already on the books in Virginia. The difference now is that you personally may have to make a trip to Richmond if you hurt that Coonman’s feelings.
Every state has existing laws on slander, libel, stalking, etc. I think you may be right in that this one is designed to give specific protections to gov’t officials.
