Corey Stewart, the firebrand Virginia Republican, will leave politics in December
Corey A. Stewart, the Republican firebrand whose fights to crack down on illegal immigration and preserve Confederate monuments reflected the nation’s increasingly polarized political landscape, is calling it quits after 15 years on the Prince William Board of County Supervisors.
In an interview, Stewart, 50, said he will not seek a fourth term as board chair this year and is leaving politics “for the foreseeable future” to focus on his international trade law practice and the business ambitions of his wife, Maria’s.
Citing his 16-point loss to Sen. Tim Kaine (D) in a November election where Virginia Republicans also lost three U.S. House seats, Stewart said his departure from state politics will last “until and unless the Commonwealth is ready for my views on things, and that’s not right now, clearly.”
As far as the Prince William County board job goes, he said, dealing with land-use cases and the county budget “just isn’t exciting for me anymore.”

It's only "polarized" when you have people who are sick and fucking tired of being oppressed, start to fight back, and then the media perpetuates the view that oppression is a valid and acceptable state societal functioning by giving it credence.
