Opinion by Gary Abernathy: Youngkin just handed Republicans their 2022 blueprint
” in the book fight, but found himself countering the perception that he thinks parents should have no involvement in their children’s education.
“I’m not going to let parents come into schools and actually take books out and make their own decision,”during a late-September debate. “I don’t think parents should be telling schools what they should teach.” The moment was a political gift; it was probably all Youngkin could do not to rush offstage immediately to buy more ad time.
The fact that parental rights in education became a central campaign issue shows that populism is still a potent element in U.S. politics. And in the Republican Party, even with Trump out of the White House, populism — not conservatism — remains the GOP’s principal identity. The movement is driven by previously apathetic citizens who are suddenly examining every jot or tittle of every decision, resolution or bill — whether at local school boards or in Congress.
Tuesday’s result provides more evidence that Biden’s win last year had more to do with Trump fatigue than a rejection of Trumpian policies.
