They've got a real POS for a Republican candidate for Governor in NC.

He's got a lot of issues. And a very simple view of what life is like for other people.

This is the Republican Party, folks!
:snippity:
North Carolina Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson, the current Republican favorite to be the party’s nominee for governor in 2024, has a long history of remarks viciously mocking and attacking teenage survivors of the 2018 shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, for their advocacy for gun control measures.

In posts after the shooting, Robinson called the students “spoiled, angry, know it all CHILDREN,” “spoiled little bastards,” and “media prosti-tots.”

Robinson, whose political rise as a conservative Internet personality started when a clip of him speaking at a city council meeting in April 2018 went viral, as he was speaking against a proposal to cancel a local gun show after the Parkland shooting. He also began attacking the Parkland survivors after they launched the “March for Our Lives” movement that called for new gun control measures, comparing the students to communists.

Robinson’s comments about the school shooting survivors were frequently personal, mocking their appearance and intelligence. In one post on Facebook, Robinson shared a photo of several students posing for photos, with the caption, “the look you get when you let the devil give you a ride on a river of blood to ’15 minutes of Fameville.’”

In another comment on Twitter in April of 2018, Robinson shared several crying laughing emojis in response to a post that blasted conservatives who mocked the survivors, writing that when children “got sassy,” adults needed to make sure the “CHILDREN knew their place.”

So he's in a church, calling folks in the LGBTQ community "filth." But, the Bible teaches that everyone is created in the image of God. So is he calling God's creating "filth"? There's some...incongruency here.

He's also a personhood guy. So I want to ask him, if there was a test that could determine that an embryo is LGBTQ, would he be okay with getting rid of that embryo, whether in utero or in vitro? I mean..."filth."

I have given up on the North Carolina Democratic Party.

They'll probably have a meeting about this. And do nothing. They like meetings. And doing nothing.

I'm a little tired of them sending me spam texts, too also. Fuck the NCDP. If Robinson gets elected, so be it. The Republicans have worse candidates for Congress. This state is not purple now, it's MAGA red.

I can do nothing but grump.
The more I learn about this planet, the more improbable it all seems. :confuzzled:

I've seen that clip around but hardly anyone listens to the complete clip because Robinson goes on to say: "You know why? Because in those days we had people who fought for real social change. And they were called Republicans."

Trouble is, the social change Republicans may have fought for in the past is NOT the social change that they are fighting for today.

Fighting for social change is progressive. Today's Republican Party is conservative, the opposite.

The stupid goes down the ballot, too:

https://www.mediamatters.org/qanon-cons ... conspiracy

Morrow is a far-right commentator who has written for Newsmax and appeared on various media outlets. Her history includes marching in Washington, D.C., on January 6 (Morrow said that she didn’t storm the Capitol) and attacking public schools as “socialist indoctrination centers.” She espouses anti-LGBTQ views, such as saying during Pride Month in June 2023: “As a nurse, I want you to understand something: There is no pride in perversion.”

Morrow is also anti-Muslim: She has written that the country should “ban Islam” and “ban Muslims from elected offices.” (She has claimed “that she was only talking about supporters of radical Islam.”)

She won the Republican primary on March 5. North Carolina’s superintendent of public instruction oversees more than 2,000 schools and more than 100,000 teachers and administrators.
