In authoritarian regimes, the rule of law is whatever the autocrat and those doing their bidding want it to be.

The North Carolina Supreme Court's conservative supermajority has blocked the certification of Justice Allison Riggs' narrow election victory. Riggs, a Democrat, narrowly beat Jefferson Griffin, a Republican; Griffin is now trying to overturn her victory in court. drive.google.com/file/d/1vlV5...

NC is so fucked up. Conservative white men are criminals.

Worth noting that the Chief Justice of the NC Supreme Court is the son of the NC Senate President Pro Tem. Republican, of course.

What can we do?

Help us keep this news national. NC needs the boost, thank you from a grateful North Carolina blue dot in a state trying desperately to be Blue

So what is the plan to stop things like this? People are crying out for action, not statements to protect our norms and institutions.

We aren’t in an authoritarian regime yet. Thoughts? Plans? Guidance?

Good to see you out here, fighting.

The former confederate states have been authoritarian regimes for years now. Thanks to voter suppression & gerrymandering, state leaders routinely thwart majority will with zero repercussions. And every time they purge their voter rolls, the Dem Party abandons the purged voters to chase white men.

The term STARTS after certification so unless the GOP got a foolproof plan to deny the votes it’s only a matter of TIME…

Correct. This is what we are now. Your job is to fight back and not allow this to happen just for the sake of being agreeable and anti-confrontational.
