I suppose you can hope. LOL.
Funny, the only whining I see is coming from the left, who still can't grasp that their cheesy candidate lost.
Be kind. Not everyone can be as hip as Youngkin.

I think he'll get the grocery tax axed. That may be more of a principle than practical win, but everyone will like it.
I think he's pretty hamstrung with what he can actually achieve - he won 52%-48% so it's not like VA handed him a huge landslide. Anything too extreme and House of Delegates will flip back blue in 2023. Plus, the VA Senate is controlled by Democrats. They may cross the aisle on a few issues, but they aren't going to be passing extreme bills.
He promised the gas tax first. Day one. Grocery tax later.

His personal views have nothing to do with his commitment to uphold the law. Were you as concerned about Gov. Tim Kaine's personal pro-life stance? How about Biden's?
No, because they’re committed to a pro-choice platform and they’ve said so repeatedly. Please post a link to any source at all in which Youngkin says he is pro-choice despite personal beliefs, as President Biden has said—many many times. Thanks.
+1. Both Kaine and Biden repeatedly made this clear. I watched all of the debates and every appearance I could find and never heard Youngkin publicly do the same.

A simple first step in combatting divisive extremist ideologies that promote racial division under the guise of “antiracism,” would be for Youngkin to prohibit the use of “diversity, equity and inclusion” statements in any state government or government-funded agency - including the VDOE.

If threatening to fire university professors for comical offenses like the one where the guy said a common Chinese word, or canceling ap classes, or cancelling race neutral entrance exams, or watering down math because math is inherently racist, or telling people to be punctual is racist…then that type of social progress may not be programs at all.
+ a million
Amazing that this has to be continuously repeated for those who refuse to listen. Oh well - their loss.

Just look at what Fairfax and Loudoun have passed as changes in the name of equity, and you will see this is false.

Honestly, it's clear who the gaslighters are on this issue - and it's not Republicans.

Especially after Trump. It is too big of a risk to keep electing people with no track record in government, especially for positions like governor, which really can be life or death situations for citizens (see florida and texas and COVID deaths). I am so disappointed with my fellow Virginians.
I agree with this. I think he would be a disaster. And his stance on pro-choice truly concerns me. A huge step backwards for Virginia.

McAuliffe supports vaccine mandates- both in school and firing people who don't get vaccinated.
Yes, dear. Vaccines have long been required to access public services, like public school. If you don’t like the idea of protecting the collective health of a citizenry, you are free to attend schools or work at jobs that share your “values.” If the government denies me the opportunity to seek an abortion through a PRIVATE PROVIDER ANYWHERE AT ALL, that is different, see?
