Wow! That is a brutal takedown - and Mark Robinson deserves every word of it!

On a mostly unrelated topic, I received an email from the Worker's Circle about an in-person canvass day of action with Team Unity North Carolina in Charlotte, NC on September 28th. If you're interested sign up here: https://forms.gle/R1bGxgEAv3Wh6f13A

They are also planning a a longer weekend of action Oct 26-28 for anyone who lives too far away to come to Charlotte for a day of Canvassing. The focus for both events is black voters in Charlotte. This is a key voting demographic if we are going to boost voter turnout in Mecklenburg County and flip NC blue and kick Mark Robinson to the curb. (So there's your connection to Thomas's post)

If you are wondering who these groups are, I have been on calls where Worker's Circle in a sponsor and I think they work pretty closely with Swing Blue Alliance which is tied into the All In for NC grassroots activity. Team Unity-NC is a voter-of-color partner of the Center for Common Ground. I write postcards with Reclaim Our Vote - a project through Center for Common Ground.

Good and I hope he takes every damn republican down with him.

They deserve to be crushed for nominating and backing such a horrible man.

Thomas, You have a way with words that gives voice to our thoughts. The low-brow behaviors of Robinson, Greene, Santos, Boebert, Cawthorn, and so many others unleashed by Trump are way out of the mainstream and need us to vote them back into their seedy underworld where they can continue to underestimate their malicious incompetence - and let the normal, educated, skilled, and caring people of America move this nation forward.

When Trump arrived on the scene the suits in the GOP welcomed the novelty and the chance to reach working class voters directly without having to lift a finger policy-wise. But in an environment of calcified social mobility the merely ambitious pricked up their ears. No credentials needed? We're all over that. Suddenly all you needed to succeed was a mic and lots of vitriol. Robinson, Boebert, Greene are all examples of those who welcomed the chance to achieve power without the constraints of education, background knowledge or expertise.

Beware Election Day results though. You don't know what Spiro Agnew's "Silent Majority" is going to do.
