Youngkin had a huge problem last year getting the k-12 curriculum approved, particularly for history. Currently, after years of bipartisan votes supporting marijuana legalization, he is proudly “refusing to sign that bill on my desk”. This has been approved by voters multiple times, the state house/senate unanimous approval, and includes the bipartisan support on the legislation for the medical marijuana industry and taxation etc for the industry. The man openly has no regard for anybody in the state. Look at the recent wildfires in a very MAGA county that supported DeSantis light, and he refused to send more aid to fire crews……Par for the course, but a true lame duck he is, like Ron DeSantis!

He rode the initial wave of *anti-woke* , *parents rughts*, Covid lockdowns backlash to office. The Democrats were seen as the party of school closures and remote learning. It was the early days of Moms for Liberty before everyone turned against their hypocrisy. And, just like they later decided to do in Florida in 2022, the Democrats ran an absolutely terrible, washed up candidate.

Without all of those conditions being in place in 2021, Youngkin never would’ve won in the first place. He’s not great at politics and if he were to ever win the GOP nomination, I think using the same playbook we used to dismantle Willard as an out of touch rich guy back in 2012 would work here nicely.
