5 Takeaways: How Youngkin’s Win Makes Democrats Squirm About 2022

Mr. Youngkin had campaigned heavily on education and seized on Mr. McAuliffe’s remark that he didn’t “believe parents should be telling schools what they should teach.” Mr. Youngkin used the comment, made during a debate, as an entryway to hammer his rival on issues like race and transgender rights in schools. The issues simultaneously motivated the G.O.P. base while casting the matter to moderates as an issue of parental rights.

“This is no longer a campaign,” Mr. Youngkin said. “It is a movement being led by Virginia’s parents.”

Republican strategists were downright gleeful about the possibility of repackaging Mr. Trump’s policies without his personality.

  1. This is how Trump won in 2016 and would've won in 2020 if not for the China virus. The vast majority of Americans are decent people. A small group of self-proclaimed elites declares that they are all evil unless they follow this new radcial ideology. The successful conservative politicians will build on this anger.
