To the surprise of no one. As soon as they passed those laws over the summer--including the one that explicitly gives each state politician full control to destroy any governmental records that are inconvenient for them--this was inevitable. North Carolina is yet another state that lost its democracy over the last few years. And what will that state's voters do? Most likely nothing.
I’m in NC and one of my (voting age) coworkers heard me ranting about how republicans keep fucking everything up with evil, unamerican legislation at all levels of government and she was so surprised to hear something bad about republicans instead of democrats that she said:
“Wait, which one is which? I think democrats were.. the ones I don’t like..
What’s the difference?”
As fucking made up as this sounds I swear to god this is as close to verbatim as I can recall. The conversation started with the plastic bag ban in the outer banks that fucking supermajority cuntpublicans overturned— and how they everyday republicans vote to destroy the planet, only to improve the profit margins of big companied that they have zero vested interest in. It’s unreal how fucking stupid these people are.
I worked with a woman that unironically declared "I'm voting red because red is the color of Canada".
So is white.

Hey are you in MB by any chance?
Milton Bradley?
Yeah
And what will that state’s voters do? Most likely nothing.
What can they do? This process does not involve the average voter.
