Our current governor, Roy Cooper, is term limited and he couldn't run again. So the current state AG Josh Stein ran (and won)
His opponent (our current Lt Gov) was a man who is um ...interesting. And made national news for um ...interesting things he posted on a porn site. Among other things.
You left out that he was married to Kimberly Guilfoyle
All these are great... I do all except the sleep mask regularly. And I use that sometimes.
Also, for times when I have insomnia - I do take a melatonin, I also will sometimes just sleep when I can, and if that means 2 hours now, up for a while, then sleep 5 hours, then that's what I do. But I have a pretty flexible schedule overall.
Anecdotal, I live in NC and know 3 registered Republicans so far who have cast their votes for Harris, I am "Unaffiliated" and voted for Harris. All of us ended up voting straight Dem on the whole ballot because there is so much crazy on our ballots this year.
The Republicans I know are never Trumpers and just don't want to give up on the fantasy of what they think the party is supposed to be.
I'm Unaffiliated because in NC you can choose which primary you want to vote when you show up. And sometimes I feel like I can do more good voting in the Republican primary, but other years have voted in the Dem primary.
My point, I'm hoping so hard there are a lot of Rino's and Unaffiliated early voting Harris, Stein, Jackson.
Can't the girls and their families sue, or get a restraining order or something?
This is something that is an easily proven lie that is causing harm.

Maybe the Simpsons will still be on air...
I feel like your comment is the real reason. Why wouldn't we believe the maga people even they say they want to arrest and execute? The left may not literally exist if certain people follow through on their rhetoric.
Thanks! I got the spelling off youtube's romanji subtitles.
Omg - love this one!!
Nah, I'd win. (English version)

Plus the massacre that started everything was so horrific, it made a clear good guy - bad guy effect in the immediate aftermath. Same as Russia looking like the bad guys invading Ukraine, especially with Zelensky being a charismatic good guy.
Those of us watching from a far, seeing it only on our screens, try to categorize what we see. And decide who we align with.
The problem is that Israel is complicated on a good day, most of us don't have anywhere close to basic understanding of what's going on politically there. Then add in the weird religious stuff. (For instance, my dad thinks Israel is ordained by God and therefore the government there is not corrupt, but also thinks Jewish people should convert to Christianity?)
So people feel like they can't criticize Israel (because God) and also can't comprehend that bad things are being done by the "good guys" to innocent people. And the innocent people are also of yet another religion that they've been taught to fear- so...
And politicians and journalists are also stuck because if they are too critical of Israel, it fuels antisemitism, at least here in the US.
I don't have a solution, other than for someone smarter than me to figure out how to explain it in simple terms, that can be fed in short segments to the population along with the on the ground reporting. But that would still have to compete with the dissonance in messaging coming from churches.
It wasn't just Governor though, also Lt Gov flipped blue, AG stayed blue, and we flipped enough state seats to blue to break a super majority even with the gerrymandering, and state level Superintendent for Education went blue...
