Seconded. He was moderate-LOOKING enough to fool some in our purple state, but he only wants the governorship as a path to president I think.

There was nothing moderate about his campaign. His primary focus during his campaign was to jump on the culture war bandwagon of restricting the liberties of trans kids, and inputting the "will of the parents" into the schools. Not all parents of course, just the ones that align with him politically.

And boy did he deliver on those promises. Laws allowing teachers to discriminate against children, book banning rhetoric, and much more including delaying and halting the already passed legislation on recreational marijuana and fueling the abortion issue.

He's as much of a shit bag as Desantis and Trump, he's just more careful about it.

Absolutely agreed, but my point is more that his offensive stuff was underreported by MSM during the campaign. He was clear enough on his plans when talking to right wing crowds, but in "public" he avoided answering when it would make him look bad. Anyone who was looking out could tell what he was going to do, but if you only watched the evening news you probably wouldn't have noticed it.

His opponent didn't do a good enough job defusing the "muh schools" crap, which FOX had spun out of nothing into a national issue in the preventing months.
