Democrats are losing ground, fast. No wave coming in 2026. Maybe it has something to do with democrats overall 19% approval rating. Do you think?
Voter registration trends continue; Republicans within 17,000 of Democrats
Should the next six months go as the last six have, Republicans could soon for the first time outnumber registrations of Democrats in North Carolina.

Wait a minute. North Carolina is a purple state? Do tell, 10 of 14 representatives Republican. Both Senators Republican. What gives?
Look, I have lived in North Carolina all my life, outside of a couple years just across the border in South Carolina in my childhood.

"To be rather than to seem". Yes, North Carolina has changed much over the years. Those from other states moving in, North Carolina is ranked as the number one state in the country for business. Of course, ranked dead last for worker's rights. But we don't care. We just dig that much harder.
Sure, we have Trump nuts, lots of them. But we also have blue haired people standing on street corners with their "Impeach Trump" signs. I saw them this past weekend. Was puzzled a little. But like most North Carolinians, who the **** cares.
I mean the OP is talking about voter registrations. What the OP doesn't tell you is that the percentage of eligible voters that are actually registered is lower in North Carolina than any other state. Like I said, for the most part, we don't give a shit. My family has lived here in the foothills of the Blue Ridge mountains since well before we were a nation. I have said it before, we allow the rest of you yahoos to live here because, for the most part, you have the good sense to leave us the **** alone. You prod us, you push us, then hell hath no fury. Don't poke the tiger.
Problem is, Trump has already poked the tiger. He clawed back funds Congress allocated for the Helene clean-up. Hundreds of thousands of dollars. You think those good mountain people are not going to remember that? Sure, we suck it up, we cover it, but we don't forget. We won't forget.
You bookmark this thread. I mean damn if history don't repeat itself, over and over again. Trump, his inept clown circus staff, and Republican Congress members that hang on to his outstretched pocket like some prison queer, they are about to see vengeance come calling. This country exists because of the good people of North Carolina, don't you doubt it. Not ten miles from where I sit right now, a group of people called the "Overmountain Men", formed together. One of them carrying the rifle of my great, great, I don't how many greats, Grandfather.
It was after the battle of Ramsuer's Mill. Learn your history. Mass grave not five miles from my house, underneath a high school football field. But those Overmountain Men made it to King's Mountain and put the British down. Well, not the British, there was one British soldier on that battlefield, Fergunson, shot off his horse by the very rifle I spoke of. The rest were loyalist. But they got their asses handed to them.
And yeah, they stripped his dead ass. Pissed on him. And fatass "Round top", General Cleveland, he got Fergunson's horse. Poor damn horse. But the pivotal moment in US history came two days later, at Biggerstaff fields, again, just a few miles from where I sit right now. In one moment, this nation was conceived. It wasn't conceived in Philadelphia, the white wigged aristocrats debating in the heat. It was conceived right there, under the "hanging tree". It became a nation of live and let live. We will get back to that, and it will be good people of North Carolina that brings it home, AGAIN.
