Real Representation for North Carolina

They never burned down Raleigh.

And Durham peddlers killed more Yankees,
swapping greenbacks for Brightleaf tobbacky,
than Johnston or Lee ever could manage.

@cathode_dreams @OrientalsWisdom @viperwave the latter is the merciful alternative for the majority that could fall into such traps for simple minds.

also objectively an improvement for the environment.

@cathode_dreams @OrientalsWisdom @viperwave therapist is financially incentivized to keep you coming.

just like your fav Slop Generator.

@Daniel_Talks_X oh i see NOWS when it stops being about politics!

how convenient for you retarded faggots.

[Real Representation for North Carolina @RealReps4NC]

@LissaStaley1 @BryanRAnderson you stop, you’re TOO STUPID to speak of the divine.

you dishonor God by pretending you are a worthy representative.

if you want to find Satan, look in a mirror.

dirty mouthed old whore.

@LissaStaley1 @BryanRAnderson be mindful of speaking the Lord’s name or assuming you have the wisdom to Jesus’ teachings, you retarded old whore.

@CedarPosts @MargoinWNC why would that “save” or convince anybody of anything?

sorry you have to find out this way, but most people are not such Cheap Dates, easily swayed by such superficial material displays.

like you are, apparently.

@TheAleksee like how much of making a spectacle of LE sweeps, are a result of pressure from local/state elected pols in anticipation of elections?

vs how much is more attributable to the relation b/t Federal funding cycles & Presidential election cycles?

[Real Representation for North Carolina @RealReps4NC]

@TheAleksee not sure how things are post-2020, but local/state/fed LE would do hard crack downs & making examples in 4 year cycles, anticipating election season.

“shit gets weird on election years” is a Thing, around here at least.

always wondered how midterm cycles would affect that.

[Real Representation for North Carolina @RealReps4NC]

@TheAleksee i agree with the first half but i do think a good portion of Crockett-Hive are serious about sitting out the election, though i doubt they’d vote GOP.

the notion that a contingent of low-turnout voters would only turn out for Crockett isn’t wrong, it’s just irrelevantly tiny.

[Real Representation for North Carolina @RealReps4NC]

@TheAleksee i do think Trump’s success vs Bernie’s failure come down to timing, of course.

but also how power & authority is structured in the RNC vs DNC.

the DNC elite can’t help but rig things on the Front End, while the RNC is comfortable fixing things on the Back End.

[Real Representation for North Carolina @RealReps4NC]

@TheAleksee Trump dropped the high-ed elite coded libertarian pretensions of the Tea Party, activating a latent mass support base, allowing him to consolidate power against the Neocon GOP establishment.

[Real Representation for North Carolina @RealReps4NC]

@nixondefender @TheAleksee like how in “deep blue” NY or IL, the state level GOP are still relevant as a regional grievance party.

in NC, the state level the dynamic of the NC GOP as anti-Eastern/Raleigh grievance party for the West/Charlotte, while the Eastern half is loyal to NC Dems, still holds.

[Real Representation for North Carolina @RealReps4NC]

@nixondefender @TheAleksee i would expect a lot of regional variation, for sure.

IME, 15% sounds about right if limited to voters that turn out every election & restricted to their Presidential vote.

you start factoring in down ticket, especially parallel state level ID, & that theory breaks down fast.

[Real Representation for North Carolina @RealReps4NC]

@nixondefender @TheAleksee isn’t that just the phenomenon i described, just applied to the lean GOP side?

i see it as Obama 08 revealing a high-water mark of potential Dem voter activation/minimum top ticket abandonment.

Trump is just the Obama equivalent for max potential GOP voter activation.

[Real Representation for North Carolina @RealReps4NC]

@nixondefender @TheAleksee yea, that logic runs into a lot of…complications, in The South.

that’s even before you factor in the high-growth Sunbelt aspect & how domestic migration both filters for & affects political identity.

[Real Representation for North Carolina @RealReps4NC]

@TheAleksee @OklahomaPerson @OregonMapGuy that’s wild but i can see why given logistical practicalities in AK.

US Federal elections really are 50+ separate national elections in a trenchcoat.

it dies make it frustrating that monetization incentivizes 100 Nationwide Generalists to every 1 State Specialist ET “analyst”.
