He certainly killed all the theories that he was just going to be controlled opposition. Turns out, we are now in a position where someone who only desires power can get it by enacting and enforcing populist desires. Ironic.
Perhaps I am getting a little ahead of myself, but its not over partisan loyalty. Its the same standard I hold to everyone and everything: I dont care if they pronouns in the bio, I dont care if they virtue signal on twitter, I care about their actions. And while it is admittedly early, it does at least show that if anything for many of these people its a defense mechanism, not a true belief.
Is Younkin only in this for the power? Most likely, considering his past affiliation. But as long as his actions taken are populist, he can have all the power he wants because he is doing the correct actions.
On the other hand, its a bit more (for want of a better word) "acceptable" when its a governor. After all, the states are supposed to have far more power, so it makes sense that a governor will have more power. Besides, everything I saw of those orders is about effecting things he has direct control over as governor (like getting rid of mask and vaccine mandates for state employees). So its not like he is usurping the legislature on any major issues.

he still hired pronouns.
Ok. It clearly has no influence on his policies or enforcement of said policies, so what's your point?
it's unacceptable for a conservative to hire leftist trash.
Which is why we need something beyond Conservatives. This is entirely in line with Convervatism. They play to lose, not to win.
We'll see over time.

Yes, because I expect every politician to just pump out EOs like some sort of magistrate.
