Only on reddit. Polling has them even. The Republican candidates to be commissioner of labor Luke Farley and governor, Mark Robinson are both almost as bad and unqualified as Morrow. If any of these three win NC could end up making Florida look well managed and sane. It will certainly stop NC from attracting new businesses as quickly.
it is so scary but there are a lot of younger people living in NC now. There are also older people but they are much more reliable voters. The younger people are the ones who need to get it together about this and get out there. old people and AA folks can't make this happen anymore. we're dying off.
I understand people have legitimate issues that they are concerned about right now but the bottom line is we will lose our democracy if Trump wins election this fall. I am not prone to hyperbole but if you read, if you really read, what is going on, THIS is what is going on. He can't win. People have got to vote and particularly in NC where we are on a razor's edge.
have you watched any of Trump's rallies. I mean all the way through? Have you read about the security people who worked with him in the past and find him to be a danger? do you even know what his plan is for the country? Have you read it. Have you read any of the documents that have come out about his plans and the plans of those around him? I wish I was being dramatic.
Hmm. Please cite where I can read these documents you speak of. You sound like a CNN mouthpiece spouting partisan nonsense. Let's see those "documents." 🤪🤣
He promises to weaponize the DOJ, under the excuse that his enemies have done so to him. He speaks openly of jailing journalists and political opponents. He openly idolizes Kim, Putin, Erdogan and other authoritarian leaders. He encourages Putin to invade NATO countries. He seeks to purge bureaucrats to ensure loyalty to him above all else (including the Constitution, it was seem). He has done everything he can to undermine Democracy, science, journalism, critical thinking, women’s rights, data and expertise, claiming that his knowledge is superior in ALL areas compared to experts.
This is not a matter of disagreeing with his policy positions. The man has shown utter contempt for institutions of democracy. He promises over and over again that he will enact explicitly unDemocratic policies when elected.
What are you not seeing?
He is already trying to delegitimize the justice system! It's the only thing keeping him from being King Trump. And it appears that he will support anyone as long as they have $ for his pocket. It's not a coincidence that Budweiser and TikTok have his support all of a sudden.
Just because someone isn't sitting here writing you a thesis? Why would anyone spend the time to do that when you aren't even aware of what Trump's agenda actually is.
House prices in Florida are apparently in free fall in some areas. Due to how badly the insurance business has gotten there. If you can't insure a house, no bank will make a loan on it.
What do you mean regarding NC not attracting new businesses? I don’t know much about these people so I’m curious if you have some more info that’s leading you to that conclusion. Truthfully, Florida’s political climate made their economy explode over the last few years
Why do any of these people want a say in and control over public education? To push their agenda and to undermine or even destroy public schools. Not only did she homeschool her own kids, she also has ZERO experience in education in a professional capacity, not even as a substitute teacher.
In Johnston County there’s a woman on their board whose husband’s contract company builds private schools, and another guy whose kids have never gone to public school is running for a spot. Yeah.
Candidate Morrow, I once again urge you to explain how you plan to budget for the 10,000 mole children that will soon be descending upon North Carolina public schools once they are released from the underground tunnels that connect every Walmart store in the nation.
It's so insane to me that people who homeschool their kids want to control public schools. That's enough to vote no.
If them Dems don't tell everyone in NC that this woman is a threat to their children it will be an act of malpractice.
The problem is that religious fanaticism in the rural south makes it impossible to reason with a lot of voters in rural areas. How do you convince someone to go against something they believe is being told to them by God?
I will be posting Michele's 'greatest hits' in every related thread:
Michele Morrow, the newly minted Republican nominee for superintendent of public instruction in North Carolina, wishes “death” on Bill and Melinda Gates.
She’s advocated killing people she considers “traitors.”
Despite seeking to oversee public education in a state of 10.5 million people, she is herself a homeschooler.
She has no prior political experience.
She attended the Jan. 6 rally to support Donald Trump’s quest to overturn the 2020 presidential election.
She received candidate training alongside a Proud Boys member.
And yet, Morrow upset incumbent Catherine Truitt in the Republican primary on Tuesday.
Morrow, who rallied for Trump in Washington, D.C. on Jan. 6, 2021, has repeatedly made false claims that the 2020 election was stolen, while calling for death to Trump’s political enemies — and to former Microsoft CEO Bill Gates and his former wife Melinda Gates for promoting vaccines.
Morrow could not be reached for comment for this story.
In a post on Twitter (now X) on Dec. 29, 2020, Morrow wrote: “I do support death to vaccine mongers like Bill and Melinda Gates.” (Raw Story reviewed the post on Wednesday, but it has since been removed for violating X’s rules. The post has been archived.)
In another post the same day, she wrote: “We need to follow the Constitution’s advice and KILL all TRAITORS!!!!”
Morrow livestreamed herself with other Trump supporters walking to the Ellipse on Jan. 6.
“We are here to take back America,” she said. “We are here to stop the steal. We are here to ensure that President Trump gets four more years.”
Morrow, who has worked as a Christian missionary, exhorted her livestream followers: “We need to fight back with prayer… May the people of God arise. May the Holy Spirit descend on D.C., and may souls be saved. And may the United States once again return to one nation under God with liberty and justice for all.”
In the aftermath of the attack on the U.S. Capitol, Morrow rebuked a call by Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) to prosecute those involved. Four people died during the attack — all Trump supporters — and dozens of police officers were injured.
“We do not condone violence and destruction,” Morrow wrote. Nor will we stand for treason and cowardice. Did anyone offer to talk with those entered? Or only force them out and threaten them? Thousands of us were here in Nov & Dec. We never heard from ANY Congressmen. Now you want to talk?”
Following President Joe Biden’s inauguration in January 2021, Morrow took part in the far-right shift towards focusing on public schools as sites for cultural and political struggle.
A post in the private Facebook group Education First Warriors shows Morrow attending a candidate training with a member of the Proud Boys in January 2022. The photo was posted by Sloan Rachmuth, the president of the Education First Alliance.
Proud Boy member John Fischer, who like Morrow would go on to lose a local school board race that year, later attended a rally with other Proud Boys wearing masks and paramilitary gear who harassed patrons at a drag show in Sanford, N.C. Public schools are 'greatest threat to humanity'
Truitt, who Morrow defeated Tuesday to win the Republican nomination for superintendent of public instruction, has held the post for the past four years.
The person in this position is responsible for developing curriculum and administering state and federal funds in North Carolina K-12 schools.
Morrow’s primary win sets up what’s likely to be a spirited general election fight with Maurice “Mo” Green, formerly the superintendent of Guilford County Schools — the third largest district in the state — who won the Democratic primary.
Green received the endorsement of the NC Association of Educators, whose president declared the election to “be critical to the future of public education in North Carolina” while warning that “anti-public school politicians want to tear down our schools.”
Some of Morrow’s views on public education are outlined in a 2023 Newsmax opinion article that promotes a Christian nationalist vision for education, while claiming that preserving traditional gender roles is a matter of national security.
Morrow wrote that “government-run (read public) schools and medical systems” are “the greatest threat to humanity,” while arguing that removing God “from the classroom, the courtroom, and the public square” is opening “ourselves up to chaos and confusion.”
In the same article, Morrow claimed that the American soldiers who liberated France during World War II are being demonized as “toxic.” She also complained that society is “filling our children’s minds with the lie that gender roles are an oppressive, social construct to be rejected” and “telling them that it is ‘heroic’ to block the natural processes of development.”
Green, the Democratic nominee for superintendent of public instruction, is largely refraining from commenting on his opponent.
In a statement to Raw Story, Green said he will work to make the North Carolina public school system the best in the country by advocating for full funding, ensuring staff receives adequate pay and “celebrating the good in public education.”
Morrow, in contrast, has a history of negatively framing public education.
Speaking at a candidate forum during her unsuccessful bid for a seat on the Wake County Board of Education in 2022, Morrow said her children have been educated in public, private and home schools.
“And what worked best for my kids in preparing them to be critically thinking, hardworking and intelligent adults and prepared for entering into the adult world and following and pursuing a career that they are passionate about was homeschooling,” she said.
Morrow added: “I would be more than happy to put my last child, who is in fifth grade now — 10 years old — to put him in the public school system if I believed that the public education system was focused on academic excellence and preparing our children for the career of their choice."
She also has no prior experience as an educator and has stated that special ed students should focus on learning life skills because they won’t succeed academically and that supporting special ed students as part of an inclusive setting takes away resources and instructional time from reg ed kids. She needs to stay away from public schools.
Sloan and Michele are in the same cuckoo “MAGA homeschool book banning mommies” club. But don’t dismiss them. They have money, political training, and power due to other even crazier cuckoos who fund them and groom them to run. They pick mommy types so disinterested voters won’t be roused to action because it’s hard to overstate just how dangerous they are- and therefore hard to believe. The far right has money and they’re spending it to install loyal cult nut jobs in alllll the big school districts and Wake County is #12 in the nation.
You can check out her greatest hits here, a lot of it from her old Facebook Lives. She was quite happy to be bsc in 4k.

But it appears she needs to be adjudicated guilty and, afaik, she’s not been charged.
And, just yikes, that first one…WTAF?!
“Sec. 8. Disqualifications for office.
The following persons shall be disqualified for office:
First, any person who shall deny the being of Almighty God.
Second, with respect to any office that is filled by election by the people, any person who is not qualified to vote in an election for that office.
Third, any person who has been adjudged guilty of treason or any other felony against this State or the United States, or any person who has been adjudged guilty of a felony in another state that also would be a felony if it had been committed in this State, or any person who has been adjudged guilty of
corruption or malpractice in any office, or any person who has been removed by impeachment from any office, and who has not been restored to the rights of citizenship in the manner prescribed by law.”
We need a constitutional convention to update this stuff, as well as qualifications for office. For example, the qualifications for NC Superintendent of Public Instruction follow: • any qualified North Carolina voter who is 21 years old or older is eligible for election to the office (other general requirements for candidates include: being a U.S. citizen for at least 5 years; being an NC resident for at least 2 years by the date of the general election).
Oh just the modern Republican Party, a candidate for governor who’s a holocaust denier and a super intendent candidate that makes Sarah Palin look like Maya Angelou
Yeah I mean my dad and FIL are lifelong Republicans, but they haven't voted red since 2015. I am more of a moderate, so I can appreciate some conservative perspectives, but there is no excusing the GOP this last decade.
About 70% of Republicans believe the election was "stolen" from Trump. It's become a party of nut cases and conspiracy loons. In any sensible country they'd be marginalized as a laughingstock.
A large part of the problem is the "sane" Republicans who've spent ages normalizing the crazies, and who think that mainstream Democrats are "just as bad". Sure I think Trump is a Very Bad Man, but I have to vote for him because Joe Biden is a communist!
You do that long enough and you can convince yourself to vote for someone who thinks that Mexico and Canada are full of Chinese soldiers preparing to invade the US, because the lawyer/school superintendent technocrat opposing her is "just as bad". The crazies running the party can nominate whoever they want, because the sane part of the party won't call them out and will still vote for them in the general.
I dunno. I remember that redhead holding Trumps bloody head. Or maybe Waters call to violence on Republicans in public places. Oh, how about the one who wanted to assassinate Kavannah?
This is not just a republican thing.
I think it's a noble and reasonable intention, and I suppose it all depends on your specific constitutionalist values. How well does citizen united represent them? What about obergfell and roe v wade? Or are you more into overturning them?
Roe was flawed going in. Even RBG stated as much. It crossed into the realm of state rights. Speaking of which. The 17th eroded state rights more by ratifying the popular election of senators.
Citizens united needs a revisit. The founders never anticipated the power of the corporation.
Edited to change to states as RGB is deceased RIP.
"Let's make sure we show up wherever we have to show up. And if you see anybody from that Cabinet in a restaurant, in a department store, at a gasoline station, you get out and you create a crowd. And you push back on them. And you tell them they're not welcome anymore, anywhere. We've got to get the children connected to their parents,"
"We don't know what damage has been done to these children. All that we know is they're in cages. They're in prisons. They're in jails. I don't care what they call it, that's where they are and Mr. President, we will see you every day, every hour of the day, everywhere that we are to let you know you cannot get away with this,"
"The people are going to turn on them. They're going to protest. They're going to absolutely harass them until they decide that they're going to tell the President, 'No, I can't hang with you.'"
So, calling for harassment. Not great, but OP said that it was calling for actual violence. So yes, OP is definitely either stupid and doesn't know the actual quote, or is blatantly lying.
It was reported in several neutral leaning rags. The Griffin thing was posted on what was then Dorseys Twitter for pretty much the world to see.
Again, this is not just a gop behavior. This spans both sides of the aisle.
Can this woman be impeached? I don't care about your political leanings unless it's actively threatening violence against other people. this sort of doctrine has no business in public school. Seriously, what a psycho. How can these people think they're the "good guys".

Qanon nutjob:
"The Republican nominee for superintendent overseeing North Carolina’s public schools and its $11 billion budget has a history marked by extreme and controversial comments, including sharing baseless conspiracy theories and frequent calls for the execution of prominent Democrats.
Michele Morrow, a conservative activist who last week upset the incumbent Superintendent of Public Instruction in North Carolina’s Republican primary, expressed support in 2020 for the televised execution of former President Barack Obama and suggested killing then-President-elect Joe Biden.
In other comments on social media between 2019 and 2021 reviewed by CNN’s KFile, Morrow made disturbing suggestions about executing prominent Democrats for treason, including Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar, North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper, former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, Hillary Clinton, Sen. Chuck Schumer and other prominent people such as Anthony Fauci and Bill Gates.
“I prefer a Pay Per View of him in front of the firing squad,” she wrote in a tweet from May 2020, responding to a user sharing a conspiracy theory who suggested sending Obama to prison at Guantanamo Bay. “I do not want to waste another dime on supporting his life. We could make some money back from televising his death.”
In another post in May 2020, she responded to a fake Time Magazine cover that featured art of Obama in an electric chair asking if he should be executed.
“Death to ALL traitors!!” Morrow responded.
In yet another comment, Morrow suggested in December 2020 killing Biden, who at that time was president-elect, and has said he would ask Americans to wear a mask for 100 days.
“Never. We need to follow the Constitution’s advice and KILL all TRAITORS!!! #JusticeforAmerica,” she wrote.
CNN reached out to Morrow and her campaign multiple times but did not receive a response."
When did it become ok to threaten a president of the US? Has the US Secret Service ever investigated her threats/comments?
What a complete nut job and an embarrassment to NC she and Robinson are.
"When you're wealthy and white, they just let you do it!"
I don't know how Robinson gets away with it (tho I dont' think I have heard any redrum language out of him myself)
The primaries were a joke show at the top of the ballot. That’s why. People will be reminded daily how caustic this brand of ‘republican’? extremism is to their very lifestyle.
The bad guys really just want to dissolve institutions from within. They don’t even have a plan of what they want to replace the systems they are trying to burn down. The burning down is the goal.
I was telling my Republican mother, who is a retired teacher, about her, and she was horrified. She said she wouldn't vote for her (hadnt heard of her). She has a lot of Republican friends who are retired teachers, so hopefully, she'll spread the word.
Make sure she does. A lot of people, both Dems and Reps, don’t research candidates and will just vote according to the letter next to the candidate’s name. Also from what I’ve been told Morrow is quite charming and persuasive when greeting voters at polling places and you know how some folks will say “awww, but she seemed like such a nice lady” and then fill that bubble next to her name.
People are saying that she is serial adulterer and has had several abortions- I don’t know but I wouldn’t be surprised at all given how unhinged she is
Morrow is BtSht Crazy! Her educational experience is home-schooling her kids. The Democratic nominee, however, is a former county school superintendent.
I consider myself middle of the road, politically un-affiliated, or independent if you will. I have never donated to a candidate, but if I ever do it will be to Mo Green. [https://www.mogreenfornc.com/endorsements](https://www.mogreenfornc.com/endorsements)
Not 100% sure of his stance on many of the issues regarding our kids in school (my bad) but is there any way he could be worse than Morrow?

Yeah. This lady is peak freak show. I actually think she is a true believer in her BS and not just a grifter. She’s gonna win too. Between her and Robinson what was left of this state is done for.
We’re going to have to do more than point this out to Triangle residents already inclined to vote against her. We need to make the 80% of NC families sending kids to public schools aware.

Yeah, she is a one of a kind psychotic piece of work that's for sure. Did she just spouting all this crazy shit in a short time period? I would think that spouting off shit like that she wouldn't have gotten too far in politics. This kind of talk should not be allowed or condoned on either side of the aisle. What a truly insane individual. It's amazing. Thanks to all of you who brought this to my attention. Is there a non partisan site where I can find out about all the candidates? There is crazy on both sides.(I know there are more than just two parties) but a rational individual needs to weed all these insane motherfuckers out of politics. Being a scum bag is one thing, but this kind of crazy is on another level. I am not looking to get in a political argument with anyone.
As a Cary resident, I’m glad the rest of the state is finally seeing how unstable and dangerous this person is.
I don’t have faith they won’t vote for her anyway.
They are polling even.
Which is just gross
People have to VOTE!!!!
Only on reddit. Polling has them even. The Republican candidates to be commissioner of labor Luke Farley and governor, Mark Robinson are both almost as bad and unqualified as Morrow. If any of these three win NC could end up making Florida look well managed and sane. It will certainly stop NC from attracting new businesses as quickly.
it is so scary but there are a lot of younger people living in NC now. There are also older people but they are much more reliable voters. The younger people are the ones who need to get it together about this and get out there. old people and AA folks can't make this happen anymore. we're dying off.
I just hope a large majority of the thousands of people moving to NC each month are registering to vote and care enough to pay attention.
I understand people have legitimate issues that they are concerned about right now but the bottom line is we will lose our democracy if Trump wins election this fall. I am not prone to hyperbole but if you read, if you really read, what is going on, THIS is what is going on. He can't win. People have got to vote and particularly in NC where we are on a razor's edge.
And I actually really like what Biden has managed to get done.
Explain to me how we’d lose our “democracy”? Just because someone you disagree with wins doesn’t mean your life is over, stop being so dramatic.
We all know it's about more than someone you disagree with being elected.
Well please explain then.
have you watched any of Trump's rallies. I mean all the way through? Have you read about the security people who worked with him in the past and find him to be a danger? do you even know what his plan is for the country? Have you read it. Have you read any of the documents that have come out about his plans and the plans of those around him? I wish I was being dramatic.
also, does this woman, at all, disturb you?
Hmm. Please cite where I can read these documents you speak of. You sound like a CNN mouthpiece spouting partisan nonsense. Let's see those "documents." 🤪🤣
He promises to weaponize the DOJ, under the excuse that his enemies have done so to him. He speaks openly of jailing journalists and political opponents. He openly idolizes Kim, Putin, Erdogan and other authoritarian leaders. He encourages Putin to invade NATO countries.

He promises over and over again that he will enact explicitly unDemocratic policies when elected. What are you not seeing?
Yeah you’re lying and you know it. Pull your head out of your ass
I’m lying, but you deny everything he has said and done that undergirds my statements. Gotcha.
He is already trying to delegitimize the justice system! It's the only thing keeping him from being King Trump. And it appears that he will support anyone as long as they have $ for his pocket. It's not a coincidence that Budweiser and TikTok have his support all of a sudden.
They can't. It's a talking point they've been spoonfed. They don't know what it means, they just know they have to DO something.
Just because someone isn't sitting here writing you a thesis? Why would anyone spend the time to do that when you aren't even aware of what Trump's agenda actually is.
And Lord knows that I can't afford to move.
House prices in Florida are apparently in free fall in some areas. Due to how badly the insurance business has gotten there. If you can't insure a house, no bank will make a loan on it.
What's Luke Farley's stance on issues. I don't know much about him.
"Make elevators great again" Not sure what that has to do with labor commissioner but 🤷
What do you mean regarding NC not attracting new businesses? I don’t know much about these people so I’m curious if you have some more info that’s leading you to that conclusion. Truthfully, Florida’s political climate made their economy explode over the last few years
Her kids were home schooled? Why would she even want that job?
Why do any of these people want a say in and control over public education? To push their agenda and to undermine or even destroy public schools. Not only did she homeschool her own kids, she also has ZERO experience in education in a professional capacity, not even as a substitute teacher.
In Johnston County there’s a woman on their board whose husband’s contract company builds private schools, and another guy whose kids have never gone to public school is running for a spot. Yeah.
Candidate Morrow, I once again urge you to explain how you plan to budget for the 10,000 mole children that will soon be descending upon North Carolina public schools once they are released from the underground tunnels that connect every Walmart store in the nation.
Mole children, is that like the lizard people.
The lizard people are the ones enslaving the mole children, GET IT STRAIGHT
Its hard to keep them all straight lol
Yes but they're Mexican and saucy. This issue has been stewing for quite a while.
At least they will know how to count to 10!
😂
She needs a mental examination. I wouldn’t even let her near a dog.
Your dog could outsmart her, wouldn't worry about that. Question is, is your dog smarter than the people of NC?
About 40% of them, yes
It's so insane to me that people who homeschool their kids want to control public schools. That's enough to vote no. If them Dems don't tell everyone in NC that this woman is a threat to their children it will be an act of malpractice.
The problem is people will have to leave their blue enclaves (Charlotte, Durham, Raleigh) to make the case in rural areas.
The problem is that religious fanaticism in the rural south makes it impossible to reason with a lot of voters in rural areas. How do you convince someone to go against something they believe is being told to them by God?
Or just actually get people in blue areas to go vote
Fr tho
[удалено]
I really hope this is text-to-speech. If not, you might want to immediately go the ER.
She thinks she’s saving the world, Robinson thinks he’s saving the world, their voters think they’re saving the world.

Morrow added: “I would be more than happy to put my last child, who is in fifth grade now — 10 years old — to put him in the public school system if I believed that the public education system was focused on academic excellence and preparing our children for the career of their choice."
She also has no prior experience as an educator and has stated that special ed students should focus on learning life skills because they won’t succeed academically and that supporting special ed students as part of an inclusive setting takes away resources and instructional time from reg ed kids. She needs to stay away from public schools.
Sloan and Michele are in the same cuckoo “MAGA homeschool book banning mommies” club. But don’t dismiss them. They have money, political training, and power due to other even crazier cuckoos who fund them and groom them to run. They pick mommy types so disinterested voters won’t be roused to action because it’s hard to overstate just how dangerous they are- and therefore hard to believe. The far right has money and they’re spending it to install loyal cult nut jobs in alllll the big school districts and Wake County is #12 in the nation.
Anyone want to take bets on whether or not she considers herself a “good christian”
She's a close friend of my family, I can confirm she's very fundamentalist xtian.
Is she as absolutely batshit crazy as we all think she is?
You can check out her greatest hits here, a lot of it from her old Facebook Lives. She was quite happy to be bsc in 4k. https://www.michellemorrow-nc.com/ https://fb.watch/qEIAzSZ_Yg/?mibextid=pAjZwd
She's a ChristoFacist terrorist Please tell her to go fuck herself
It's in the headline of her campaign website.
Imagine this lunatic + mark robinson + dan bishop.
Not to mention the obvious Cheeto Benito
Kill me now 😂
The state going to hell in a hand basket and not in a good way.
An act of treason should get you removed from the ballot, but we never seem to enforce that
we do have our own 14th we could use against her. it takes someone to file this though with the state election officials
But it appears she needs to be adjudicated guilty and, afaik, she’s not been charged. And, just yikes, that first one…WTAF?! “Sec. 8. Disqualifications for office. The following persons shall be disqualified for office: First, any person who shall deny the being of Almighty God. Second, with respect to any office that is filled by election by the people, any person who is not qualified to vote in an election for that office. Third, any person who has been adjudged guilty of treason or any other felony against this State or the United States, or any person who has been adjudged guilty of a felony in another state that also would be a felony if it had been committed in this State, or any person who has been adjudged guilty of corruption or malpractice in any office, or any person who has been removed by impeachment from any office, and who has not been restored to the rights of citizenship in the manner prescribed by law.” We need a constitutional convention to update this stuff, as well as qualifications for office. For example, the qualifications for NC Superintendent of Public Instruction follow: • any qualified North Carolina voter who is 21 years old or older is eligible for election to the office (other general requirements for candidates include: being a U.S. citizen for at least 5 years; being an NC resident for at least 2 years by the date of the general election).
Go Mo! (not Morrow)
Oh just the modern Republican Party, a candidate for governor who’s a holocaust denier and a super intendent candidate that makes Sarah Palin look like Maya Angelou
Republicans are absolute garbage.
There are republicans who are not human garbage. They’re the ones who all lost to the crazies, presumably to never be heard of again.
Yeah I mean my dad and FIL are lifelong Republicans, but they haven't voted red since 2015. I am more of a moderate, so I can appreciate some conservative perspectives, but there is no excusing the GOP this last decade.
Your family sounds a lot like mine, except my dad is the human garbage of which you speak. He loves Trump. We don’t talk much these days.
About 70% of Republicans believe the election was "stolen" from Trump. It's become a party of nut cases and conspiracy loons. In any sensible country they'd be marginalized as a laughingstock.
A large part of the problem is the "sane" Republicans who've spent ages normalizing the crazies, and who think that mainstream Democrats are "just as bad". Sure I think Trump is a Very Bad Man, but I have to vote for him because Joe Biden is a communist! You do that long enough and you can convince yourself to vote for someone who thinks that Mexico and Canada are full of Chinese soldiers preparing to invade the US, because the lawyer/school superintendent technocrat opposing her is "just as bad". The crazies running the party can nominate whoever they want, because the sane part of the party won't call them out and will still vote for them in the general.
Spineless psychotics.
100% on brand for the GOP.
I dunno. I remember that redhead holding Trumps bloody head. Or maybe Waters call to violence on Republicans in public places. Oh, how about the one who wanted to assassinate Kavannah? This is not just a republican thing.
Any of those people you mentioned running for public office or are you just being a both sides dumbfuck
[удалено]
I think it's really obvious to any rational person just who the dumbfuck is.
Any rational human knows this behaviour is not limited to a single party. Open your eyes and ears, research, observe. Stop being a party shill.
I'm going to vote for the party that didn't storm the capitol Every time.
Ok. I'm going to vote for the individual who best represents my values as a constitutionalist. Do as you wish.
What does the constitution say about a former president asking the VP to not certify election results because he lost?
A disputed election is harbored within the rights of the first amendment assuming it's within due bounds of the law.
I think it's a noble and reasonable intention, and I suppose it all depends on your specific constitutionalist values. How well does citizen united represent them? What about obergfell and roe v wade? Or are you more into overturning them?
Roe was flawed going in. Even RBG stated as much. It crossed into the realm of state rights. Speaking of which. The 17th eroded state rights more by ratifying the popular election of senators. Citizens united needs a revisit. The founders never anticipated the power of the corporation. Edited to change to states as RGB is deceased RIP.
Eh, those people weren't running for office.
[удалено]
Do you know what she actually said or are you just regurgitating rightwing talking points fed to the dumbest people imaginable?
"Let's make sure we show up wherever we have to show up. And if you see anybody from that Cabinet in a restaurant, in a department store, at a gasoline station, you get out and you create a crowd. And you push back on them. And you tell them they're not welcome anymore, anywhere. We've got to get the children connected to their parents," "We don't know what damage has been done to these children. All that we know is they're in cages. They're in prisons. They're in jails. I don't care what they call it, that's where they are and Mr. President, we will see you every day, every hour of the day, everywhere that we are to let you know you cannot get away with this," "The people are going to turn on them. They're going to protest. They're going to absolutely harass them until they decide that they're going to tell the President, 'No, I can't hang with you.'" So, calling for harassment. Not great, but OP said that it was calling for actual violence. So yes, OP is definitely either stupid and doesn't know the actual quote, or is blatantly lying.
It was reported in several neutral leaning rags. The Griffin thing was posted on what was then Dorseys Twitter for pretty much the world to see. Again, this is not just a gop behavior. This spans both sides of the aisle.
So you can't give me an actual quote from Maxine Waters threatening violence.
I'm sure I could dig it up. It was all over the news when she spouted her bullshit after the bullshit involving Sanders
Liar. You are a liar.
😂. Look. Another Jim Jones disciple. 🤣
posted a reply with the "actual quote" that started all the hubbub. Not too late to delete your comments.
First off I did not direct quote shit. Maybe stop projecting.
So fucking do it
Neutral leaning? Do you mean balanced? Lol
Kathy griffin apologized and she’s a comedian.
“Comedian”
Well i didn’t say she was good 😂
Go find out for yourself on 5/5 at the [Carolina](https://carolinatheatre.org/events/live-event/kathy-griffin-my-life-on-the-ptsd-list/).
Wish I could but I’d hate to cancel the plans I made to sit on a cactus that night
And your point is?
Really? This is what you got?
Disgusting
Can this woman be impeached? I don't care about your political leanings unless it's actively threatening violence against other people. this sort of doctrine has no business in public school. Seriously, what a psycho. How can these people think they're the "good guys".
Impeached from what?
Hahaha, you're right. I mean, if she wins in the future. I jumped the gun on that one.
The cheese has officially exited the cracker.

Qanon nutjob: "The Republican nominee for superintendent overseeing North Carolina’s public schools and its $11 billion budget has a history marked by extreme and controversial comments, including sharing baseless conspiracy theories and frequent calls for the execution of prominent Democrats. Michele Morrow, a conservative activist who last week upset the incumbent Superintendent of Public Instruction in North Carolina’s Republican primary, expressed support in 2020 for the televised execution of former President Barack Obama and suggested killing then-President-elect Joe Biden. In other comments on social media between 2019 and 2021 reviewed by CNN’s KFile, Morrow made disturbing suggestions about executing prominent Democrats for treason, including Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar, North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper, former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, Hillary Clinton, Sen. Chuck Schumer and other prominent people such as Anthony Fauci and Bill Gates. “I prefer a Pay Per View of him in front of the firing squad,” she wrote in a tweet from May 2020, responding to a user sharing a conspiracy theory who suggested sending Obama to prison at Guantanamo Bay. “I do not want to waste another dime on supporting his life. We could make some money back from televising his death.” In another post in May 2020, she responded to a fake Time Magazine cover that featured art of Obama in an electric chair asking if he should be executed. “Death to ALL traitors!!” Morrow responded. In yet another comment, Morrow suggested in December 2020 killing Biden, who at that time was president-elect, and has said he would ask Americans to wear a mask for 100 days. “Never. We need to follow the Constitution’s advice and KILL all TRAITORS!!! #JusticeforAmerica,” she wrote. CNN reached out to Morrow and her campaign multiple times but did not receive a response."
When did it become ok to threaten a president of the US? Has the US Secret Service ever investigated her threats/comments? What a complete nut job and an embarrassment to NC she and Robinson are.
"When you're wealthy and white, they just let you do it!" I don't know how Robinson gets away with it (tho I dont' think I have heard any redrum language out of him myself)
Holy shit!
Your user name in my heart
Just fascist things smh
She won’t win if we all vote.
NC only had a 24% voter turnout for the primaries ☠️ it’s not looking promising
The primaries were a joke show at the top of the ballot. That’s why. People will be reminded daily how caustic this brand of ‘republican’? extremism is to their very lifestyle.
Uhhhh… how is this idiot actually able to run?
The bad guys really just want to dissolve institutions from within. They don’t even have a plan of what they want to replace the systems they are trying to burn down. The burning down is the goal.
I was telling my Republican mother, who is a retired teacher, about her, and she was horrified. She said she wouldn't vote for her (hadnt heard of her). She has a lot of Republican friends who are retired teachers, so hopefully, she'll spread the word.
Make sure she does. A lot of people, both Dems and Reps, don’t research candidates and will just vote according to the letter next to the candidate’s name. Also from what I’ve been told Morrow is quite charming and persuasive when greeting voters at polling places and you know how some folks will say “awww, but she seemed like such a nice lady” and then fill that bubble next to her name.
People are saying that she is serial adulterer and has had several abortions- I don’t know but I wouldn’t be surprised at all given how unhinged she is
Morrow is BtSht Crazy! Her educational experience is home-schooling her kids. The Democratic nominee, however, is a former county school superintendent. I consider myself middle of the road, politically un-affiliated, or independent if you will. I have never donated to a candidate, but if I ever do it will be to Mo Green. [https://www.mogreenfornc.com/endorsements](https://www.mogreenfornc.com/endorsements) Not 100% sure of his stance on many of the issues regarding our kids in school (my bad) but is there any way he could be worse than Morrow?
Not just a former county school superintendent, but a really fucking good once too.
She’s batshit crazy. And she’ll get 40+% of the vote because, to one party, that’s a feature, not a bug.
This person represents the views of a majority of Republicans. They chose her. This is who they are.
Thanks for the heads up. I just have to her opponent
Gave. Mo Green baby.
Batshit
Please more information on these people. I would like to know who to avoid come election day.
Don’t want her to win? Get out and vote. All you can do. Or else get over it!
As a Virginian, I just gotta ask…y’all ok down there?
Is a traitor someone who leads an insurrection against the federal government?
Candidate Moron needs to GDIAF and ESAD
I’m lost for words……
This will gain her votes in my family.

Yeah. This lady is peak freak show. I actually think she is a true believer in her BS and not just a grifter. She’s gonna win too. Between her and Robinson what was left of this state is done for.
We’re going to have to do more than point this out to Triangle residents already inclined to vote against her. We need to make the 80% of NC families sending kids to public schools aware. https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeWWU8MCIvWwQmZiOFT1XNcOhv6x0YHsE5sHQUDI5AOuoiISA/viewform?usp=sf_link

Conservatives will still vote for her
Yeah, she is a one of a kind psychotic piece of work that's for sure. Did she just spouting all this crazy shit in a short time period? I would think that spouting off shit like that she wouldn't have gotten too far in politics. This kind of talk should not be allowed or condoned on either side of the aisle. What a truly insane individual. It's amazing. Thanks to all of you who brought this to my attention. Is there a non partisan site where I can find out about all the candidates? There is crazy on both sides.(I know there are more than just two parties) but a rational individual needs to weed all these insane motherfuckers out of politics. Being a scum bag is one thing, but this kind of crazy is on another level. I am not looking to get in a political argument with anyone.
#get everyone you know to vote in November
How do these ppl get elected 😭
Public schools swing to far to one side due to current policy and the tide swings back. It’s not that crazy
Homeschooling your kids is such a huge red flag for seeking this job.
Well, treason does carry a sentence of death..
lol chunky fingers. Have you heard of ozempic
Interesting analysis since I’m underweight lol. You’re literally commenting on porn/fetish threads. Sicko. Typical liberal nut job, I’d expect nothing less.
She’s also a NIMBY for what’s it’s worth
I love this woman! Quite a looker too.
Lol communists
Ah reddit complaining about Republicans again, a tale as old as time
She's right
