THIS SHOULD SOLVE REPUBLICANS' PROBLEMS WITH WOMEN

“I absolutely want to go back to the America where women couldn’t vote,” says GOP nominee for North Carolina.

In related news, the State Project just added North Carolina to its target list.

And I absolutely want to go back to the America where assholes like this would be tarred, feathered and run out of town.

Not because he's black, but because he's a grand mal asshole.

Sadly, assholery knows no race, creed, religion, gender, orientation, etc.

It's equal opportunity.

Really important context about the corporate playbook behind the ridiculous extremist just nominated to be governor by Republicans in North Carolina.

Good reminder that we have to take these clowns seriously with true Clown Fear because the corporate interests backing these clowns are deadly serious.

The current Netflix series on the Octopus Murders is both dismal and illuminating in this respect. Similar operatives doing the bidding of similar masters from all the way back in the Reagan era, and reportedly still active today.

Absolutely! For starters we have to stop using the word "unserious". They are VERY serious.

"radical" is a bit of an understatement when the nominee (a T****-wannabee) is a Hitler-quoting Holocaust denier who thinks women never should have been given the right to vote.

What's even MORE amazing is that b/c he's in a Red state, he actually has a chance of winning. 😵

"Major corporations, not eager to associate themselves with Robinson's brand, have refrained from donating directly to Robinson's campaign for governor. Nevertheless, these same are funneling millions...

to the RGA — money that can and will be used to help Robinson's win. Major corporate donors to the RGA in 2023 included ... ... ... Pfizer... ... Coca-Cola"
https://popular.info/p/how-millions-in-corporate-cash-could

Text from article: The RGA is one of the most powerful 527 political organizations in the country. It routinely spends tens of millions of dollars on key races. Robinson will face Attorney General Josh Stein (D) in the general election in what is expected to be one of the closest contests in the country. The RGA has already paid for a slick website attacking Stein. The RGA has plenty of resources because, unlike many political entities, it can accept unlimited amounts of money from corporations. This is not money that comes from corporate PACs, but funds that are transferred directly from corporate treasuries. Many of the nation's most prominent corporations have donated 6-figure sums to the RGA — money that can and will be used to help Robinson's win. Major corporate donors to the RGA in 2023 included Microsoft ($400,000), Alphabet (Google’s parent company) ($378,000), CVS ($300,000), Pfizer ($300,000), Amazon ($275,000), Coca-Cola ($259,287), Deloitte ($151,000), and DoorDash ($125,000). Of course, the RGA will be supporting other candidates this cycle as well, and some are significantly more moderate than Robinson. That's why making large donations to the RGA is such an attractive option for corporations. It allows them to support candidates like Robinson — who may soon be a powerful elected official — without the scrutiny that comes with a direct contribution. Robinson's bigotry, misogyny, and conspiracy theories

    @lolgop When plantations could get a Black Man to do the job of hurting the enslaved, he typically did it with greater gusto because he wanted to keep the power that was being loaned to him. I see the same process playing out in NC.

    Gender Apartheid along with all the Evils associated with Nazis rolled up into one Corporate supported candidate!

    He got 500,000 votes in the NC GQP Primary!

    Remember, remember the 5th of Roevember!

    The Talibangelists are not playing games, they are dead serious on the death of everything we hold dear.

    The danger is absolute

    @lolgop He wants to go back to when the Republican party was less right-wing? It doesn't seem that way from the rest of his bullshit.

    Why should he stop there? White men if European descent who own property but only if they go to the right church (to fix our founders error).

    He really wants to go back to that period in America? Apparently Mr. Robinson doesn't know he's a Black man.

    @lolgop Just so I’m clear he wants to go back to when women couldn’t vote but IIRC in NC at that time Black people also could not, as a practical matter, vote?

    It’s as though the GOP has a bunch of Democrat double agents in their midst trying to destroy their party 🤣
