Women

Thom Hartmann -  The Republican nominee for governor of North Carolina this year, Trump-endorsed Lt. Governor Mark Robinson, knows how to fix America’s political and social problems: prevent women from voting.In a video from his presentation to — ironically — the Republican Women of Pitt County in March of 2020, when Robinson was successfully running for lieutenant governor, he came right out and said it:"I absolutely want to go back to the America where women couldn’t vote,” Robinson argued. “Do you know why? Because in those days, we had people who fought for real social change, and they were called Republicans. … That’s the America we want to bring back. We want to bring back the America where Republicans and principles and true ideas of freedom rule.” Of course, Robinson isn’t onto something new for the GOP. What’s new is that some of the party’s most extreme voter suppression efforts — theoretically only targeting Blacks and Hispanics — will be working this fall to prevent women from voting as well.
