    North Carolina will vote for the GOP. And then cry on social media when they drive the state further into the ground, take away snap, diddle little kids, no money for hurricane relief, etc.

      Hey man, I live here. We’re not a republican state. We have more registered Democrats than Republicans, and between the two major metropolitan centers (Charlotte and The Triangle) we actually should be voting largely Democrat. However Republicans bunched all those voters into a few districts and then gave rural bumfuck nowhere disproportionate representation on a state level. Then they used that to gerrymander themselves into a supermajority, then used that to start rat fucking the good reps out of districts (pour one out for Jeff Jackson). We literally had maps so fucked up our current supreme court said “that’s too far” and all they did was submit shittier and shittier maps until we got stuck with the first unconstitutional one because “we didn’t have another option”

      We’re not quite a Mississippi where we’ve been shooting our own feet for decades, Republicans have wrested undue control over the state by being cheaters and it’s important for all of you to see that because they’ll do it to you too
