Having lived in NC for many years and having known many good and bad national and local politicians and movers and shakers personally from around the country, including Mr. MAGA, for well over 50 years...the thought of Robinson as Governor should scare the h-e double tooth picks, out any semi intelligent soul be he a farmer, small business owner, public servant, physician, etc. Basically everyone in state with the exception of Republican politicians and their big money funders. He represents a major step backwards in any type of progressive growth and incapable, unfit, unworthy of any type of positive population leadership role...which is exactly what the Republican super majority loves and may end up. He is a republican's "Yes Man". Sadly a majority of the NC voting public, have in the past, mistaken independence and control over their lives to be a "Republican" mandate...while in reality they have unwittingly been supporting leadership that has been keeping them right where they have always been..."in their place", in a financial limbo, under educated, and unknowingly subservient, easily impressed and supportive of a greedy bunch of miscreants interested in anything but elevating the state to a more shared level of prominence and success in regards to the rest of the nation. If they were to understand their broader situation and the kind of success they could have, they would undoubtedly be mad as hell, knowing what opportunities they have been robbed of over these many years. Don't get me wrong...the majority of Republican down to earth voters are not to be blamed, they just haven't been permitted to see, learn and understand the bigger picture. Our present legislature can take a major amount of credit for that reality. In life, there is good and bad and everything in between...NC is still finding its way politically.
Henry, No, most republicans are saying nothing about leaving a seditionist rapist on the ballot. All they need to do is listen to one speech salad by trump to understand what a psychopath he is. McConnell and the entire party are stood in the way of removing this monster after J6 findings and 2 impeachments! These are people who support racism. down-to-earth? Bullshit.
People see what they choose to see. That applies to more than politics. People are moved by emotion not reason. Validation is an emotion as is fear. Combine the 2 and you have a powerful tool like Mr. Robinson.
This guy parrots the talking points of the christian nationalist fascist movement which is gaining ground not only in NC. The only difference is his race. I’m reminded of many years ago when the klan came to the capital of Kentucky where they had few fans. They brought a bi-racial black man with them, complete with his own robe, to feature in their press releases and as a speaker to deliver their message on the dangers of “mixing races”. Validation and fear.
