6. I certainly hope the South is rising

I live in NC and have been here my entire life (60 years), I’ve seen NC tease us many times, coming close to being a blue state. Democrats controlled the state legislature until 2011. We’ve only had 2 Republican governors in the past 40 years.

When Obama won NC in 2008, I thought we had finally flipped it. Then the racists and good ole boys came roaring back. Now I sense that maybe a perfect storm is brewing. People here are pissed at the state legislature, who didn’t pass a budget in 2025, and we are almost at the end of the next fiscal year (June 30).

I’ve long believe that the South is a sleeping giant, with the large Black populations and many transplants from more liberal areas. May it be so.
