republicans are actually genuinely ending democracy in North Carolina rn

The North Carolina General Assembly’s GOP supermajority just approved a hugely corrupt power grab, seizing authority from the governor and the courts to prevent any meaningful check on legislative abuses. Authoritarian stuff. A very dark day for democracy in NC. amp.newsobserver.com/news/politic...

How many of such small little bad news will have consequences that will last centuries because we'll forget they ever took place in the first place?
In other words america is systematically cooked forever and now it's even burning a little.

Just a little bit of trolling going on

"Republicans are actually genuinely ending democracy in " is going to be a frequent headline over the next 4 years

Yep, I’m in NC…we actually voted half decent except for the Trump part…and now it’s just being stolen.
I have visions of flame and hell fire 🔥

god if only a socialist party did this shit the cia would coup them

mateofrompa.bsky.social•83 days ago

Sadly, any socialist who would be popular enough to enact change would get excommunicated by their own party before having a chance to make those changes. The left would find a flaw. Or eight. Lol

We live in an oligarchy, you hemorrhoid. There is no democracy here.

snackypanther.bsky.social•82 days ago

Republicans wield power to preserve power in real sinister ways. There are no checks on state legislations, but to win elections.

ofdyingsun.bsky.social•83 days ago

It's adorable that state governments imagine they'll have any authority of their own under the Trump regime. Cute of them to rearrange their deck chairs now that the iceberg strategy paid off.

mitchthemurse.bsky.social•83 days ago

Yeah - they basically have been saying they'll do that and people keep saying "Oh... Haha, they're just triggering the Libs, they don't actually want to destroy democracy."

Boycott. Protest at their houses. Get people fired up.

switchgazer.bsky.social•83 days ago

Proof that moving to a Blue State will do nothing to protect you if the state legislature is mostly Republican. We're screwed here in Arizona as well.

djungelenhanced.bsky.social•83 days ago

Jesus fuck there's nothing subtle about that

vesperaegis.bsky.social•83 days ago

There was bound to be some type of entropic reaction from Republicans after they made the completely unforced error of Mark Robinson. It's a grievance action of their own making. Such shamelessness in ignoring the will of the voters before he has done a single thing in office.

FWIW, this technically still hasn't passed. We've been granted at least 1 week of reprieve until the House also votes on it next week, and there was a bit of push back from 3 R's there the first time around.

This literally can't pass if even one of them remains consistent.

I hope they all step on legos

kyszczynski.bsky.social•82 days ago

You kinda have to for your own safety I am not kidding

skunkworx1995.bsky.social•83 days ago

If you live in any state controlled by the GOP, you ought to run for one of the numerous state house and state senate seats that regularly go on unopposed.

Run as an independent, and show up!

In a lot of cases it’s legitimately that easy to get in. We can bleed them out.

3pointnemosc.bsky.social•83 days ago

It’s actually amazing that they didn’t elect Mark Robinson last month.

lavamonster.bsky.social•83 days ago

You can’t gerrymander a gubernatorial election but they can and have gerrymandered the fuck out of the legislature.

lurkingoff.bsky.social•83 days ago

Vaush, if you do a segment about this, I'll bet you can show how little they've gotten done until this point, and how now they are fighting tooth and nail to get something done and it's the wrong thing. Be good to point it out.

everyone’s focusing way too much attention on Hunter Biden rather than this at the moment

vesperaegis.bsky.social•83 days ago

Personalities always gain more attention than ideas and policies. It's why Youtube videos require chimpanzee faces in the thumbnail. Education should prevent that from going out of control and jog the cortex, but that's going downhill fast. Cults of personality like Trump thrive.
