There's no conceivable legal or political remedy to the NC GOP stealing the Supreme Court election. Don't know where you go from there other than violence, or just accepting that democracy is over and you lost.

It’s hard to make a case that democracy is a southern tradition. Poverty, poll taxes, literacy tests and poor education saw to that.
Those realities did not stop people from working to make it better. It was a struggle, but “The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice.”
The governor needs to do something, even if only symbolic. It must be loud and full of righteous indignation. Win the messaging war if that's all you can do
Violence is inevitable if the GOP does not wake the hell up and get real. If you think we the people won't fight to the death for our democracy and our freedom, think again..
Not that kind of protest. The kind that shuts stuffs down so hard that builds pressure to force their hand. Really, really big and sustained. Which is why it's a tall order. But it's always there.
The only option right now are prolonged mass protests in North Carolina to raise awareness that GOP is stealing people's votes, which makes them defacto an antidemocratic klan, not a legitimate party. Dems would be fools to pass on this. "MAGA ate your vote" should be a rallying cry.
If there was a higher court that had an oath to the constitution and held those ideals above a political agenda then you could do something, but no, we have lost.
I mean, they overcame worse in the 60s. But the civil rights movement was probably the most successfully pro-democracy movement in world history; i don't know if we can pull it off again
Make them afraid to come across an American, exile or execution. The only option. Rip fascism out by it's infected root. Makes examples of the biggest traitors.
But those ballots were acceptable on Election Day. Why do they need to be fixed now? I mean shit if we’re going to court about elections that are over, let’s relitigate Bush v Gore

There are clear legal violations that need to be the constant focus still. Don't take the rage bait.

I would love to be wrong.
Now practically speaking, that's a tall order, so yeah

I'm not telling you to do it, NO.
I'm just amazed at how quickly government reacted.
Time to remind republicunts what this nation was founded upon and why we have a constitution written the way it is.
They have defended school shooters so long they forgot what the second amendment is actually for…
Take to the streets
Disrupt
Thing they have faced zero consequences ever.
