I'm not even criticizing the positions themselves. He's been decidedly left as Governor, leaving plenty of room for rightward movement and still staying in the realm of the reasonable. It's just... very noticeable.

I am also on board with making an exception for minors. They ought to have a higher degree of automatically protected privacy. It seems cruel to suddenly force a public profile upon them for this.

- He was in charge of something hated. We wonder if that makes it maybe just a little less bad. Culture responds.
