(4,982 posts)Birth control: outlawed. Voter ID: mandatory. NO more early voting. NO more same-day registration.
McCrappy is a Duke Energy tool. Hope NC loves oil and gas wells because they will be EVERYWHERE. Fracking and stinking polluted water - poison. Rates will go UP UP UP. Taxes on middle-class through the roof. Duke Energy will pay less than ZERO in taxes - WE will make up the difference.
If there is a whiff of a union anywhere in NC (I don't think there is) - they'll smoke that.
Durham, Chapel Hill, Asheville, any blue speck and African Americans and women everywhere - marginalized - legally, socially, economically. Worker's rights? --->
Civil rights: DEAD.
KKK and oil rigs in ya front yard.
HooBoy.
Dumbasses. Ya'll gonna be sorry.

But I hear that the blue counties have not been counted yet.
I'm just glad I don't live there. I have to live in the pathetic state of OH where our pathetic population elected Kashit and no ability to recall the asshat.
