Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Another example that loyalty only flows one way when it comes to Donald Trump, and he will gladly have you excommunicated the nanosecond you become inconvenient or dare to criticize him in any way.
Yet nobody in the party will learn a damn thing, and about a million or so people who somehow still think that they'll be somehow immune from the same treatment are already lining up to take Tillis' place.
Seriously. Rudy Giuliani. Mike Lindell. Liz Cheney. Michael Cohen. Prominent, life-long Republicans who dedicated their lives, their fortunes, and their careers, and they've all ended up ruined, disgraced, and discarded. And that doesn't count the literal dozens of prominent Republicans that have been forced out of politics because they didn't suck up to Trump hard enough or voted against him that one time. How can you see a literal cemetery of people that have been sacrificed at the altar of Trump and say to yourself "Yes, I'd like to be the next in line." How do you not see all of that and think that somehow, you're the one who's going to magically be immune? I just don't get it.
Oh no!
Anyway...
someone worse will take his place
this is the state that chose maddie cawthorn to represent them
Per the article it appears that Lara Trump is considering a run for the seat. That said, NC is a bit purple, and it isn't clear that a MAGA Republican would win.
i wish i had your optimism
i live in NC. a maga republican WILL win, sorry to say
While it has been on the fence, it broke pretty hard for Trump even as Democrats won the governor, lt governor, and AG...
They might not be fully onboard with generic Republican but they are all in on MAGA... A Trump would probably give them a strong win.
Ive never met a single maga republican in my life that would vote a split ticket. NCs election results are sus af imo
So I've seen a fair number of people claim that Trump outperforming downballot is a sign of some cheating.
Question I have in response is why would the GOP bother to only cheat in the presidential election? Seems like if they were going to go all in on cheating, they'd rig it more soundly in their favor. Maybe they would have let Robinson take a dive because of his particular circumstances, but they would have assured themselves at least a supermajority in the state legislature to compensate.
It seems a simpler explanation is that people didn't vote Republican, they voted "Trump". Or also plausible that some of them didn't vote "Trump" so much as they voted "not the woman of color with a foreign sounding name".
Sounds like a power move, let's see if it pays off
