Hello Mondo
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
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.
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.
We got some rechargeable motion activated lights. I love-love them. They last a long time. Less tripping over sleeping pets trying to go to the bathroom. Yes, I could turn a light on, but I don’t want to be blinded, half asleep, and used to just shuffle in the dark. Plus when the power goes out, these still work, which is a bonus.
2005 the word truthiness was coined https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Truthiness

You should get a full dermatologist check. Especially if you have ever been sunburned.
Get any suspicious or annoying moles removed and biopsied.
I have 4 friends (granted 50+ years old) who have had skin cancers removed in the last year. Many, many stitches on faces, arms, and necks

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…
