Defunding schools, eroding abortion rights, eroding LGBTQ rights, reduction in safety nets and social spending, continuing the war on the drugs.

These all core tenets of the Republican platform, while they have no actual policy ideas, Kalus included, for tackling things like energy and inflation. Democrats haven't been great but a vote for Republicans is basically giving a placebo for "white grievance" while kicking the actual problem cans down the road instead of facing them, while making life significantly worse for women, minorities, and the elderly and disabled.

Virginia is literally seeing this already under Youngkin who ran as a moderate in VA, went full MAGA the second he took office with his own actions, and appointed Miyares (their AG) who is causing massive fires in VA.

Kalus is just another Youngkin. Run on culture war and vague platforms with no solid plans, then get power and run roughshod to further their political career within the party. Fung is and will be doing the same fucking thing in the congressional race if he wins.
