| (hopefully by focusing on two current Republican governors and praising one and hopefully being even handed, this doesn’t turn into a political back and forth. I’m not really interested in getting into Democrat vs Republican whataboutism) I can never see myself personally vote Republican because even the Republican politicians that I don’t have any personal antipathy toward (ie what are now called “RINOs”) still enable the ones that have cultural policies I disagree with. That being said, I have to admit that I think some of the best governors are the Republican governors that “don’t do anything” besides act like a CEO and are more concerned with governing, bringing business into a state, balancing the budget, and don’t get into the culture wars. I lived in GA until last year and I can say that every governor both Republican and Democrat have fit that mold since I actually started paying attention in the mid 90s. The current Republican governor Kemp fits into that mold. He didn’t kowtow to the “election is stolen” crap. He didn’t get into the mud with Trump during his election or primary and he even signed a law making citizens arrest illegal after what happens with Ahmaud Arbery. He even fought to bring in the “Soros controlled clean energy” Rivian manufacturing plant. Now I live in Orlando, and Desantis is the exact opposite of Kemp. |
