From a fellow Carolinian (first time I've used that word) - I worry more about LGBT friends now than 20 years ago, but we do love our state. NC became a rich state back when working together Republicans and Democrats raised taxes. For decades they put tax money into education and infrastructure. Besides universities we have 58 community colleges that cheaply trained workers mainly for manufacturing. With high gasoline taxes we built an interstates system very attractive to industries. Also, with all the covid money handed out NC now has a 5 billion dollar surplus in our general fund that will be used to reduce taxes on the rich while unemployment payouts are stopped. Our current Democrat governor is as disadvantaged as Obama was with a Republican congress who controlled how are tax dollars are spent. With illegal gerrymandering and voter suppression Republican state legislators are set to sweep the midterms across our country. I admire and support all those fighting voter suppression, but people in my state who vote consistently in each primary and general election in their gerrymandered districts will support Republicans. The idea low taxes will improve NC economy and life is as false as Reagan's trickle down theory. In the meanwhile our rural hospitals are closing and country people will continue to support politicians that don't respect them. Progressive country people like me are not a voting block. Yet!
I feel like NC is more progressive than most southern states (though admittedly I may be biased). The problem is the Republican legislature stacking the deck. I don't think they represent NC's actual demographic ideologically.

McCrae Dowless pleaded guilty to fraud last month - claimed social security while pocketing $132K fixing the vote for Harris, GOP candidate. Harris not charged. Dowless still faces legal action about the election. Already had a record before he took up new profession of election-fixer.
It's an interesting story, and now that so much time has passed the details will be forgotten. The candidate who hired Dowless to pump up his vote was a preacher (might be a faulty memory there) and his son is an attorney. When it came to court the candidate saw his son and realized that he would ruin his son's career, so he ran away off the witness stand crying. Preachers cry pretty easily, though. He dropped his pursuit of office and we just didn't have a congressman from that district for a while. It took some time for everybody to get adjusted and run the race with another candidate.
I'm not because it's different here in Charlotte! These videos are made to stereotype us in showing the most backwards, country people and towns that they can find, instead of showing progressive cities like Charlotte, Asheville, Raleigh and such...

I’m most unfortunately a resident of NC. Gerrymandering has long been a Republican tool here. The legislature draws up a gerrymandered map we have to vote in accordance with until eventually the courts rule it illegal. Then guess what! The (Republican) legislature gets to draw a new gerrymandered map and we start all over. It has kept Republicans in powers here for many years.
As a fellow North Carolinian I agree. Hopefully more of NC will flip blue, I saw one seat in my small country county flip in 2020, so there's hope. Makes me want to be more active locally, great folks around here but any are uninformed unfortunately.
It's not the whole state. The triangle area( Raleigh/ Durham/ Chapel Hill) is more progressive as well as other cities. The problem is it's rural everywhere else. Local government (state-wide) is controlled mostly by republicans. State government is always up for grabs, it seems. That's why sometimes they have a democratic governor and are so purple some years. The state is in a tug-of-war with it's identity.
In other countries, rural does not automatically mean conservative voters. Yes, I live rurally in another country, yes in our last national elections In 2020 I and many other rural dwellers, did NOT vote for a conservative party.
Colorado is very similar; there are liberal pockets in Denver and Boulder, but most areas have more cattle than people and those areas tend to vote red. When I was in college from 2003-2007, the state was red. Once they began sending all registered voters ballots by mail, it turned purple and then blue. We clearly still have crazy pockets, hence Lauren Boebert, but the larger portion of the population is sane. And out here, Republicans know it’s not worth complaining about the mail-in ballots for all because their base loves the simplicity and ease it brings; it started under Republicans and they know they’d get called out for trying to cancel it just because it led to them having more Democratic voters engaged in the process.
@@jillmortlock8439 In the U.S., rural always means conservative and therefore Republican. This is due to the pro-gun and pro-Christian "values" of rural communities.

Threats of co-ed bathrooms and women being drafted were how the ERA was thwarted. Guess they figured since men in the bathroom with their 16-year-old daughter freaked them out in 1980, fear of a male-to-female transgender in their daughter's bathroom would do the same.

@@DTG_LOCKETT True, but the difference between 9th and 1st is approximately 29 million, and the difference for 2nd is approximately 19 million. NC has 10.7 million so it's multiple times their own population.
@@dayaautum6983 10th is Michigan and I think they're still losing population, so we don't have to worry. According to a diagram on the Great Migration, Alabamians moved to Detroit, Michigan.

Or 754,000 Blacks moving back to Mississippi (from Illinois) could make that a majority-Black state. Homeland?
More like, politicians have discovered new and conniving ways to win elections without broadening their constituency’s thereby superseding democracy. Wining elections be easy if you just let those that vote for you vote.

Try to se their rationale….try to argue their own point calmly, try to see things from a different perspective? It could actually be fun. We can totally have different views but that doesn’t mean we need to yell, insult or hurt anyone. I love winning a verbal argument but I also enjoy when someone manages to change my mind, show me something I failed to notice….

Shame helps no one. But I bet there's organizing happening in state and other things you can do to make a difference. And make sure to vote, because it's clear a lot of people don't want you to.
I think you mean it’s really great that they mentioned the bathroom bills in NC because it violates human rights. Maybe go re watch the video so you get the point.
Actually the focus of the conversation is civil rights, bathrooms are just a part of that topic just like the barbeque stand was about another civil rights violation. Black people put a lot of blood sweat and tears into equal rights on simple things like bathrooms and being able to eat anywhere. The civil rights that they fought for belong to everyone not just black people so they shouldn't be allowed to make an exception
I went with a friend to visit his sister in NC. It was my fist time to ever see and hear so much racism. We stopped in a 1 gas station town and they had fliers hanging up of what time and date the KKK meeting would be.
Same here - it was painful how the majority of responses related to asserting hetero status and almost none about the inherent discrimination! Kinda says everything you need to know about how commonplace homophobia is in NC :(
Seth Meyers talked about the 2013 NC Voting Law: th-cam.com/video/yfJeuk9Qizw/w-d-xo.html. The 2018 Voter ID amendment is back on for 2021, but according to League of Women Voters, ID is mainly required for first-time voters, and they can use a utility bill if they have to.
Ok just to start with, we are not the freest most democratic nations at all. We are not considered a full democracy, we are considered a flawed democracy, the only 1st world nation to be in that category.

Back in the mists of time when I went to college out of state, the first thing I did was register to vote in my new state. It wasn’t about voting, I always vote but it allowed me to get instate tuition from my second semester on. Once I returned to my home state I re registered there. I always vote and now I’ve signed up to work the polls. I don’t want there to be any excuse not to have ALL the voting sites open.
Actually, we voted to fire Pat McCrory. Then prior to the new Governor, Roy Cooper, coming into office, McCrory and his GOP thugs did everything they could to take all of the power away from the Governor through legislation. Then the “9/11 scam” where the GOP in NC pretended they were not going to be meeting during the memorial only to do a “sneak vote” without Democrats being present. Ignoring their corruption is not an option. The GOP in our state is too corrupt to ignore!
After 30 days of being in NC, they want people to get a NC ID. They don’t care if you’re in the military or not. In some states, if you’re in the military you don’t have to get an ID for that state. NC doesn’t do that. They didn’t ask me for my ID card when I voted here in NC and I actually gave it to them. 🤷🏾♀️🤷🏾♀️🤷🏾♀️ The guy told me that he didn’t need it. He just asked for my name and address.
I have never had to provide anything to vote. I might have needed a bill that linked my name to address but that was years and years ago. 0 voter fraud.
Washington voters have to get a Washington voter card. A license won't do. Why? For starters a felon under community custody can drive and cannot vote. Where people went wrong was not asking every SINGLE voter to provide evidence.
Very true. I lived in NC during the 2016 elections and my mind was blown when the polling person said no ID required. Just gave my name and off to vote.
I live in NC and in a predominantly black neighborhood. My polling place used to be close and never busy. They switched my polling place to one that’s further away and often very crowded. My old polling place is still there and still a polling place. In fact I have to drive directly by it on my way to the new one

Since the penal colony is mostly filled with Americas "others," Americans can still claim it's the "free-ist country in the world." You gotta read the fine print.
I live in NC. It's the land of blatant Discrimination and anti-LGBTQ legislation. It seems like every bill we hear about has something discriminatory or repressive on it. And although I vote in every election, I can't help but feel like my vote doesn't make a difference. (When you live in a big city or a college town your vote counts for less with how the lines are drawn.) One thing small businesses have done about bathroom legislation is put those "Family restroom" or "unisex restroom" signs on all the doors.

Cool show. Would like to hear from the voters and candidates who are for voter suppression side and push them to say why they really don't want brown and black people to vote.
That's a fairly predictable answer. They'll claim it had nothing to do with race and everything to do with having secure elections and then bring up this recent election as "evidence". To them, providing ID to vote isn't a big deal. But not everyone can afford an ID fee or bus fare to go to the DMV or to take time off of work to go.

I’m most unfortunately a resident of NC. Gerrymandering has long been a Republican tool here. The legislature draws up a gerrymandered map we have to vote in accordance with until eventually the courts rule it illegal. Then guess what! The (Republican) legislature gets to draw a new gerrymandered map and we start all over. It has kept Republicans in powers here for many years.
At least we got rid of McCrory. Too bad we couldn't improve the state and federal legislature as well.
Not For Long!
Well same here down in Texas.
As a fellow North Carolinian I agree. Hopefully more of NC will flip blue, I saw one seat in my small country county flip in 2020, so there's hope. Makes me want to be more active locally, great folks around here but any are uninformed unfortunately.
Both sides are guilty of using it.
It's not the whole state. The triangle area( Raleigh/ Durham/ Chapel Hill) is more progressive as well as other cities. The problem is it's rural everywhere else. Local government (state-wide) is controlled mostly by republicans. State government is always up for grabs, it seems. That's why sometimes they have a democratic governor and are so purple some years. The state is in a tug-of-war with it's identity.
Exactly
In other countries, rural does not automatically mean conservative voters. Yes, I live rurally in another country, yes in our last national elections In 2020 I and many other rural dwellers, did NOT vote for a conservative party.
Colorado is very similar; there are liberal pockets in Denver and Boulder, but most areas have more cattle than people and those areas tend to vote red. When I was in college from 2003-2007, the state was red. Once they began sending all registered voters ballots by mail, it turned purple and then blue. We clearly still have crazy pockets, hence Lauren Boebert, but the larger portion of the population is sane. And out here, Republicans know it’s not worth complaining about the mail-in ballots for all because their base loves the simplicity and ease it brings; it started under Republicans and they know they’d get called out for trying to cancel it just because it led to them having more Democratic voters engaged in the process.
@@jillmortlock8439 In the U.S., rural always means conservative and therefore Republican. This is due to the pro-gun and pro-Christian "values" of rural communities.
@@wintergarden7539 The problem is the rural voter is slowly getting gentrified or is being out stripped by the new townships of ex-city folk that normally vote more liberal.

Threats of co-ed bathrooms and women being drafted were how the ERA was thwarted. Guess they figured since men in the bathroom with their 16-year-old daughter freaked them out in 1980, fear of a male-to-female transgender in their daughter's bathroom would do the same.

I hate the way “Bathrooms” are the Central focus of the conversation. Instead of housing, employment etc…
I think you mean it’s really great that they mentioned the bathroom bills in NC because it violates human rights. Maybe go re watch the video so you get the point.
Actually the focus of the conversation is civil rights, bathrooms are just a part of that topic just like the barbeque stand was about another civil rights violation. Black people put a lot of blood sweat and tears into equal rights on simple things like bathrooms and being able to eat anywhere. The civil rights that they fought for belong to everyone not just black people so they shouldn't be allowed to make an exception
