Glenn Youngkin and Republicans are going to do a bunch of unpopular stuff. Virginians will come to regret their decision to vote out of pique that they have to monitor their kids Zoom classes and return Democrats to power in the next election.
This bizarre pattern seems to be electing Republicans, have them shit the bed, electing Democrats who spend time trying to clean the shit from the sheets, the sheets are still in the laundry when the next election comes around, so voting Republicans back into power.
This is why I feel strongly that "policy" does not - in and of itself - win elections. People vote their tribe or they vote "fundamentals." Tribal votes are locked in. I don't care how honest a particular Republican might be, I'm not handing the reins of government to that party.
The so-called undecided or persuadable voters vote their feelings every 2-4 years. They basically don't really pay attention to politics until elections come around, stick their finger into the wind and then say shit like, "That Glenn Youngkin wears a fleece vest, so he must be a nice guy" and then watch agog as creates a bunch of shitty laws.
