Obama won here in 2008 -- barely. Republicans took full control of the legislature in 2010 (first time in over 100 years). Maybe it was 2012, I forget cuz I'm tired. Obama lost here in 2012. A Republican governor won in 2012. It is a true swing state. And don't forget, the land of Jesse Fucking Helms. Many North Carolinians HATE Obamacare, "high" taxes, Planned Parenthood, and marriage equality. They love God and their guns.

So depressing.
