    he already won "the moderates" how else did he get elected?
    Note Biden's own problems within his own party. It applies to any state or group where there is a marginal difference between opposing sides. This isn't fucking Russia with a dictator. It's still a democracy.

    The Virginia General Assembly is split fairly evenly: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virginia_General_Assembly
    Senate political groups
    Democratic (21)
    Republican (18)

    Virginia House of Delegates (2021)
    Republican (52)
    Democratic (48)


    IMO, Youngkin's speech was moderate albeit he touched on the stand RWNJ talking points. It was how he phrased certain parts that told me he's a right-leaning moderate. Virginia might do well with him.

    Stop thinking traditional Dems ( liberals) as a moderate difference between the parties.
    The Progressives gave radicalized teh Dems.. look at the attempts to federalize elections and do away with any semblance of voter security
    Or look at the massive BBB bill -basically putting governemnt into every aspect.

    Or look at Bidens Georgia speech trottig out Bull Connor and "confederates"
    The Dems have radicalized themself -hence the stark partisan differences under Progs influence

    Youngkin barely won the last election, but that does not mean that he has to win the next election. He is making moves that the majority of the voters will not like. He is hoping that by the next election, they forget.

    If you ever stopped to pull your head out of Putin's ass, Dookie, maybe you'd see I never believed Democrats are the moderate wing of American politics.

    Since Gov. Youngkin stated his specific goals, one of which was to improve education, I expect him to have the support of those who elected him...the Virginians.

    I hope he does. God knows this country has too many poorly educated dumbasses voting in elections.

    FWIW, I favor every citizen having to pass a citizenship and IQ test before being allowed to vote. Thoughts?

    In the first few hours, he peed in the Wheaties of the past lefties agenda.



    Executive Orders:
    Executive Order Number One: Youngkin pledges to remove what his office defines as ‘divisive concepts’ from public education. This includes Critical Race Theory. Critical Race Theory is an academic concept developed in the 1970s and 1980s that claims racism is deeply rooted in the health care system, policies and laws that make America.

    Executive Order Number Two: Youngkin plans to make masks optional in schools. He feels as if mask mandates have been ineffective in schools thus far. This executive order comes as area school districts report record-high COVID-19 numbers.

    Executive Order Number Three: He strives to “restore integrity and confidence in the Parole Board of the Commonwealth of Virginia.” He plans to do this by terminating the current board, selecting five qualified members for the board and assisting with reviewing board procedures. This order comes after Roanoke Mayor Sherman Lee resigned from the Virginia Parole Board on Thursday.

    Executive Order Number Four: Youngkin has ordered Attorney General Jason Miyares to conduct a full investigation into a sexual assault at Loudoun County Public Schools that the office says was handled wrongly. After the incident, which happened in the spring of 2021 in a Loudoun County high school, the assaulter was transferred to another Loudoun County high school. There, the student assaulted a second person. According to the office, school officials held back key details and lied to parents.

    Executive Order Number Five: As Youngkin strives to make “the government work for Virginians,” he will establish a Commonwealth Chief Transformation Officer. The officer’s job duties include hearing the concerns of citizens and then producing reforms to those complaints.

    Executive Order Number Six: Youngkin pledges to declare Virginia open for business. A myriad of businesses throughout the Commonwealth were impacted by the pandemic, some closing their doors for good. With this order, he will reassess if there is a need for the “Permanent Standard for Infectious Disease Prevention of the SARS-CoV-2 Virus That Causes COVID-19.” This standard requires that employers take proper precautions to prevent the spread of COVID-19.

    Executive Order Number Seven: He strives to prevent human trafficking and provide support to survivors. 24.9 million people are victims of forced labor, which includes sex trafficking, according to Safe Haven, an anti-trafficking nonprofit.

    Executive Order Number Eight: He will establish a commission to combat anti-Semitism. The commission will work to reduce the number of anti-Semitic incidents that occur in the Commonwealth. Youngkin will also provide public schools and state institutions with learning resources about anti-Semitism and its ties to the Holocaust.

    Executive Order Number Nine: As planned, Virginia will withdraw from the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI). The reason for this, he explains, is to protect businesses and ratepayers from rising costs. The RGGI is a market-based program designed to reduce and regulate carbon dioxide emissions. His plan to withdraw from the initiative sparked much debate, with some calling the move ‘disappointing.’

    Executive Directives:
    Executive Directive Number One: Youngkin pledges to “jumpstart our economy by cutting job-killing regulations by 25 percent of regulations not mandated by federal or state statute.”

    Executive Directive Number Two: He pledges to remove vaccine mandates for all state employees. Youngkin explains that he will continue to ensure Virginians have the necessary information to stay safe during the pandemic; however, he believes that enforcing a COVID-19 vaccine on employees and requiring employees to submit vaccine documentation is “harmful to their individual freedoms and personal privacy.”
