How come NC is so backwoods?

[obsidianwolf]

Republican super majority, and now a Republican governor so they've got a rubber stamp to do whatever backwards thing they want.

We weren't before the elections, I swear. We were NOT this fucking bad. We were well on our way to actually starting to become blue, or at least, you know, sane.

I am so fucking mad at my state right now that i can't even.

We are a PRIME FUCKING EXAMPLE of dicks who vote against our own interest. Yesterday I saw a car with a bumper sticker for Pat McCrory, another that said "If you aren't pissed off, you aren't paying taxes" and a plate that said "STR84WRD". I wanted to do bad things to his car with my mental powers.

Some of my friends, who even live here, have no goddamn clue. THey were IN FAVOR of the goddamn consent bill before it got dropped - the one where minors would have to get consent from their parents to be treated for mental illnesses and STDS.

I'm done. I want to leave now. I want to go to MD where most of my family and in-laws live already.

UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHH

Is NC a victim of gerrymandering? Or is its populous really that republican?

What a great comment. I know the fanatics can't be reached but it says something that these women look like they belong in a debate on the topic.

OP, I will now always see this icon as yours as being peeved about commenting shenanigans.

Me and Peeta were not happy to live in Cluster #7 tbh

The lawmakers probably liked them dressed that way tbqh. It's ~good ol America during the good years~ and stuff

[kittenmommy]

That was my thought too.

Idk, they probably thought they had too much leg showing.

"We should not be forcing taxpayer to fund procedures they find morally objectionable."

Here's a crazy idea, it's nobody's goddamn business and they shouldn't get to have a say in what other people do with their bodies! ARGH THESE ASSHOLES

[maynardsong]

Then that means I shouldn't have my tax dollars used for drilling or more sprawl building right?

[skellington1]

IKR? Or, y'know, WARS.

"We should not be forcing taxpayer to fund procedures they find morally objectionable"

Funny how it's unpatriotic if I don't want my tax dollars going towards meaningless wars, oil subsidies, or bailing out "too-big-to-fail" banks, but when it's birth control suddenly it's a-ok!

[zinnia_rose]

That's a terrific idea for a protest. Too bad nobody actually gives a shit what women think about their own bodies. :/
