The take is: Youngkin may have backed away from Trump, but it's the billionaires and elites that run the GOP that are setting up the plan to steal the 2024 election, not Trump. It's the party that's designing gerrymanders to assure white Christian authoritarian minority rule. And the guy made the case that Youngkin embraced all that -- Youngkin took the money from Koch and Heritage billionaires and the GOP corporate interests and the gun companies and fossil fuel companies.
I am not sure if Youngkin himself is an authoritarian. To me he seems more like a dim, born-advantaged private equity guy who might not fully know what the GOP stands for today.
I don't fully see voting for Youngkin as embracing authoritarianism and helping to further climate disaster that will impact our kids future.
My kids will have the chance to get an abortion in VA or MD or another blue state.
Is Youngkin really a step to taking that away?
Op if your greatest concern for your daughters is where they will be able to get abortions, you have totally failed as a parent.
Because women only need abortions if they are immoral sluts, amirite?

Look how carefully he chooses his words. He’s creating this shiny facade for the GOP.
I've worked with him unfortunately. evangelical, woman hating, racist. just an awful, awful person.

And of course, many abortions will take place in states where it is not legal and they will be more dangerous. We have been there before and unbelievably, we seem to heading backwards to the good old days of the "back alley" abortion. Horrible.
Oh please.
This is the mid-Atlantic, not the Deep South or the Dakotas.
Youngkin is not going to ban abortion.

The GOP has no intention of making abortion illegal because they want to keep all the one issue Republicans who are only voting red for this single issue.

He’s not trying to push a “far-right agenda.” He’s simply going for common sense and a swing back to the reasonable middle.
Nothing about the GOP in 2021 is “reasonable” or “middle”.
Says someone who is no doubt far, far left.

Yup. Youngkin supporters sure believe the lies and conspiracy theories he pushed - “election integrity”, “CRT”, etc.
