Sure glad they tackled this "issue" instead of housing, jobs, pollution, infrastructure, trade, etc.

Or maybe their fucking budget… (I’m a NC resident and state employee)

People always focus on governors but there's a lot of state legislatures that are just absolutely full of wing-nuts.

Yep. Wingnuts that run as democrats & magically jump to republicans just to fuck over their constituency.

The unfortunate thing in North Carolina is that the right wing only has the necessary votes because a democrat switched parties after being elected. So now republicans can do whatever they want.

Like New Hampshires. It's insanely large and filled with wack-jobs who want to secede from the union.

Like, wtf does the state have to offer as a country? Granite rocks that I seem to dig up every time I till my garden? That's what we will export?

Hey, you're forgetting your local town officials. You need that farm team of crazies to feed into the state body.

Republicans sure care a LOT about children's genitals... for some strange reason.
