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?
The most alarming thing about your post is “my kids will have a chance to get an abortion in VA or MD...”
You are already prjebyiing that your kids will need abortions.”
Sad.

I'm pro-choice, but that jumped out at me too. Unreal.
I am pro choice too but also believe abortions should be rare.

Yeah, $400M just fell into his pockets because he’s tall and White, right? Because that’s how you imagine the world works - no particular skill or brains required.
He’ll be making Virginia a better place to live, work, and get an education, all while the usual crowd chatters away.
Virginia was named the best state for business in 2021 and top 10 states for quality of life all before Youngkin was elected. What exactly is he going to do?

His only chance to do any of the things he promised is to be a centrist. He won 52%-48% at best. I do not in any way contest Youngkin's victory, but all the analyses conveniently leave out the fact this this victory was a squeaker.

I can't tell if the bolded is specifically in reference to abortion or a summary of the whole post, but on abortion the official Republican party platform is anti-choice. I really can't believe people are this obtuse or ignorant. And you are going to see what happens to the rights of your daughters re: abortion when the Supreme Court reverses Roe or guts 40+ years of jurisprudence on the issue later this year. The right of married couples to birth control may or may not remain intact. And yes, I said married couples. Laws restricting the rights of women to obtain birth control may be back on menu. Enjoy!
As far as the authoritarianism, well, yes. And as a politician you are either part of it or you're not. How does a voter tell the difference? That is simple - does your candidate reject Trump's attempted coup or not? I realize that people freak out about using the "c" word, but that's your own arrogance talking. You think it can't happen here. It only happens in third word $hitholes with tin pot dictators. Welp, I've got news for you. The head of state calling up leaders of other states to find votes, publicly declaring the vote was rigged, convening a rally to challenge the results of legitimate election, and then tacitly endorsing the violent actions of your followers - that's a coup.
I'd like to consider voting for a moderate Republican, but there really aren't any left. And watching things like birth control and abortion rights come front and center has only cemented the fact that I want my daughters to have the chance at full autonomy and equal rights. So adios GOP.

I was a lifelong Republican until the shift to authoritarianism but I know that almost half of women get an abortion in their lives and many don’t talk about it.

I questioned whether we were also supposed to report crazy LWNJs, but my post was deleted. The above poster is a troll who has posted this garbage many times. Talk about uneducated.

This person is most definitely NOT a centrist. He's right-wing. Not extreme right, but solidly to the right. Just acknowledge this, PP. It's OK to like right-wing politicians. It's not OK to lie.
DP. Whether he's a centrist or "solidly to the right" does not concern me at all. The PP is correct. He will appoint people with common sense to the VDOE - something that has been sorely lacking for some time. All the money and time that has been wasted on an "equity lens" and "anti-bias" needs to be funneled into academics. Normal, rational people of ALL political stripes - sorry, "stakeholders - have had it with the far-left's crazy policies.
I will fight that tooth and nail. That isn’t centrism. It’s white nationalism. We need to do a better job of teaching our kids about systemic racism and rooting out bias and hatred.
Yes “we” the parents do.
Exactly. This has no place in schools. Not only is it grossly inappropriate, but it's also wasting time and money that could be put towards, you know, ACTUAL ACADEMICS.

I just got off a 12 hour shift in a busy ER, and I am more coherent than you are. We always tell our drug seekers to take a walk around the parking lot to calm down. Is their a parking lot at your facility?
