Change my mind.
Langley ain't in Real Virginia It's in Northern VA / Greater DC / Yankeeland South. They wouldn't last as long as lightning on a limb up there. Too much population density creates a target-rich environment, and social concerns make them utterly unable to defend themselves. They'd be gone in a flash. Probably literally.
With a few exceptions, the rest of the state is more spread out, population-wise, with more arable land and more means of self-defense... and a higher concentration of smarts. The rest of the state hasn't been dumbed-down as much as that area. We'd probably do OK at holding our own.
Charlottesville and Richmond would probably be smoking craters, too - right after they rounded up the livestock and put them on cargo transports to the Mother Planet... "To Serve Man... It's a COOK BOOK!"
