If you want to see how a second Trump administration may erode America’s democracy, either wait another month or look at how Republicans have been behaving not just in their deep-red strongholds but competitive states like North Carolina, where the state GOP is openly seeking to overturn the will of the people.
Take the governor’s office. Democrat Josh Stein, running to succeed term-limited Gov. Roy Cooper, won last month in a landslide, defeating a Republican candidate, Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson, an avowed “Black Nazi” whose porn habits were exposed in the weeks before the November election. Typically, when voters choose to elect a person to public office, they do so with the expectation that the person will carry out the duties of that office.
