Republican mantra - "If you can't beat 'em, cheat 'em"

Youngkin has demonstrated a Trumpian deviance in other ways also. Item: He endorsed a plaan by carpetbagger Juan Paplo Segura to charge anyone accused of dealing in Fentanyl with murder. (Which is even worse than it appears ginen the proclivity in VA to charge someone with 1 extra gram of weed with distribution.) Item: His hate mongering over trans athletes. (How many are there in Virginia, anyway?) Item: Turning bullshit claims of job losses consequential to addressing climate change into a self fulfilling prophecy by preventing Ford from building a battery manufacturing plant in the state. The list goes on.

And for their part the Democrats focus their campaign on a single issue: Abortion. As though the electorate were incapable of thinking beyond a single issue. What's worse is that they tried such an approach in the last gubernatorial election, which gave us Youngkin in the first place.
