"Your zip code should not determine your Constitutional Rights." [View all]

Just said by Governor Roy Cooper from North Carolina.

Posting, because I felt like my Constitutional rights were violated in the nineties when the great Libertarian advance began in Florida over land issues. I wondered back then, where were the Florida Democrats in all those? Why weren't they protecting our rights? Mostly, I found them aligned with real estate interests. There was no meaningful push back. And because of that, over the years I got to see Florida slide into autocracy (autocrazy?) until now we're dealing with Hitler 2.0, trying to make it into the White House so he can export this insanity to a national level.

So, thank you Governor Roy Cooper, for saying what should have been said twenty five years ago. To everyone else out there, it's now or never.
