"I don’t know if it was posted on here earlier, but Twitchy had something this morning on Glenn Youngkin stating that he woundn’t intervene with Virginia cities in regards to mask and or vaccine mandates, and now this. I don’t know what Mr. Youngkin’s deal is, or if the voters in VA bought a lemon, but something doesn’t seem right about all this.

I think Youngkin is putting this back to where it should be decided, at the local level. Or should we continue the present top down back asswards methods being implemented elsewhere, especially federally?

Wasn't Fauquier county the only place in the entire state that implemented a mask fine anyway? Not a single other instance, meaning they know the local populace would revolt. As they did on election night.

I posted something to similar effect in the comments section there this morning. And I agree completely. This is less government.

My initial reaction was to consider how many public officials at every level have become drunk with power in order to satisfy a miguided hunger to make everyone “feel safe” and themselves feel good. As such, Youngkin’s approach - if this is true (big if!) - is disappointing on the face of things. If local citizens truly raise the right fuss, then I get it, and that’s fine. It may even be better.

For stuff like mask mandates or "vaccines", it should be at the extreme local level - the family or individual. And the State should be there to prevent other entities (city, county, etc) from violating that.

That is exactly what he is doing.

However, the media has their knives out for him and they are already twisting things to dupe the stupid.
