    I lived in NC for a little while myself. They’re trying to bring the state into the future in the triangle area but their backwards government will not let it happen.

      As a current NC resident, I concur. Roy Cooper is about the only thing standing in the way of the complete Republican domination in our house and senate. The triangle area is growing and developing at ludicrous speeds (Raleigh metro has grown 50% in less than 10 years), the tech industry has exploded, the cultural scene is rampant, but these goddamn pieces of cruel, lying, traitorous, backstabbing scumbags over on W Jones St. want to ban abortion, scrape away any remaining worker’s rights, deny the LGBT community, lock up teachers, and worse. If it weren’t for Cooper’s veto and the Republicans only having a simple majority, we’d probably be floating with Florida in the cesspit seas.
