It’s so nice when a politician finds their billionaire trust fund daddy. Like a match made in Heaven. 🥰 it’s a shame DeSantis and his split up. 😭😂.
Also, please god no America. He’s less insane and weird, but still has the same shitty worldview and policies. He’s just quieter and more sneaky about it.

That's what they said about Desantis too! Turns out, having the personality of a wet noodle doesn't do you any favors when your main rival has, unfortunately, insane amounts of "charisma"
Virginian here. Fuck Youngkin. Just because he doesn’t draw attention with dumb headlines like Ron or Trump doesn’t mean he’s not a corrupt “family values” Christian boy.
I like Youngkin. However, I wish it wasn't legal to run for office if you're currently serving in a position that you were elected to when your current job wouldn't be over until after the next one starts. You made a commitment to serve in a particular role, you should honor it.
Funnily enough, I don't like Youngkin and there's no one the Republicans can run that isn't dog whistle milquetoast or Donald Trump. What they need to do is get in a time machine and change everything they have stood for over the 30 years.
Maybe if you know nothing about him because you don’t live in Virginia and he’s less crazy than Ron or Trump. Easy sign is, weed was voted legal here and he’s done everything in his power to prevent legal sales. Can’t even but delta-8 anymore.
I do live in Virginia. Have for 15 years. You can legally possess up to an ounce of weed in Virginia, not a fan of him blocking weed sales but that's not the only thing I vote about. Not saying he's perfect, I just prefer him over alternatives.
What do you like Youngkin for? What actually good has he done?
Well I liked his campaign and favored him over his opponent McAuliffe. Additionally I'm in favor of a lot of the bills that he's signed into law.
Education bills that I like:
HB 1526 (Coyner) and SB 1175 https://lis.virginia.gov/cgi-bin/legp604.exe?231+sum+HB1526
HB 2225 (Batten) and SB 1253 (Dunnavant) https://lis.virginia.gov/cgi-bin/legp604.exe?231+sum+HB2225
SB 1367 (Vogel) https://lis.virginia.gov/cgi-bin/legp604.exe?ses=231&typ=bil&val=sb1367
Energy bills I like: HB 1643 (Kilgore) and SB 1121 (Hackworth) - https://lis.virginia.gov/cgi-bin/legp604.exe?ses=231&typ=bil&val=HB1643
HB 1779 (O’Quinn) https://lis.virginia.gov/cgi-bin/legp604.exe?ses=231&typ=bil&val=HB1779
HB 2178 (Morefield) https://lis.virginia.gov/cgi-bin/legp604.exe?ses=231&typ=bil&val=HB2178
Public Safety laws I like:
HB 1416 (Brewer) https://lis.virginia.gov/cgi-bin/legp604.exe?ses=231&typ=bil&val=hb1416
HB 1555 (Brewer) https://lis.virginia.gov/cgi-bin/legp604.exe?231+sum+HB1555
Does this indicate that these donors don't want Trump?
Sucks to be them, cause it looks like they are getting Trump.
