See, this is what happens when you read too much into right wing fake news. Not that the left needs their vote, but illegal aliens do not vote in CA elections. If that happened, the right wingers in CA would go ape sh it over that. This is the same BS that right wingers perpetuate similar to that of Obama will take your guns when he took office.
Alpha, you are outgunned.

Therefore, our representatives should have done the right thing and rejected a Trump election at the national level. In a state like NC where there is a right wing power grab is currently in play, they will have to raise issues up to the US supreme court to unclog (if even possible) the mess that the right wingers have created in that state.
"The election didnt go the way I wanted it to go, so ignore the voters and install who we want."
You guys have a real fascist streak within you. You've apparently rationalized it in your own mind.

If you forgot how backwards NC is, have you forgot that the NBA is not having their All Star game in that state because of its repressive laws? Think about this for one second, the NBA has teams in many red states such has OK and TX. They have never threatened to pull their All Star game out of those states, but they did to NC. Why? Because NC has legislators that are hell bent on bringing that state and our country back to the 1500's.
I find it funny that the NBA made a huge deal about moving the Allstar game from NC because of the HB2 while at the same time promoting their organization/business in a very LGBT unfriendly place like China.
LGBT in China:
Anti-discrimination laws in employment No
Anti-discrimination laws in the provision of goods and services No
Anti-discrimination laws in all other areas (incl. indirect discrimination, hate speech) No
Same-sex marriage(s) No
Recognition of same-sex couples No
Both joint and step adoption by same-sex couples No
Gays allowed to serve in the military ?
Right to change legal gender Yes
Commercial surrogacy No
Access to IVF for lesbians No
Allowed to donate blood No
Not to mention human rights violations for the rest of the population. This didn't seem to put a stop to the NBA/China Games 2016 though. After all, there's too much money to be made. HYPOCRISY.

It's funny that HB2 was such a big deal a while back, but now that the origins have been crystallized, nobody wants to discuss it. Charlotte used their transgender protection bill to "trigger" a response from the conservative government. They got exactly what they asked for in HB2. Then, when the Gov said he would repeal HB2 if Charlotte dropped their bill, they did, and we had a special session to repeal HB2. (after it did it's damage in the election) The only problem is, the liberals were planing on cheating. (shocker!)
The conservative Gov put a rider in that no municipalities could enact similar bills to Charlotte's for 6 months, and the crybaby libs went ape #. So they had plans to just enact the same garbage again after they got what they wanted. But it's clear that the libs don't give a # about the transgenders, they just used them for the political leverage to get what they wanted. SO now NC has an idiot Gov who isn't smart enough to run a crime lab, but thinks he can run a state. Good luck with all that dumbass.

I didn't lose anything, I am a Canadian. I also happen to strongly dislike Hillary Clinton and rejoice at the fact that she is not going to be President, though she would be better than the con that is Donald Trump. My point is that those here on ATS who support Trump and the Republicans expose themselves as ideologues who actually don't believe in the US Constitution, as is evident by their support of Republican power grabs that clearly undermine democracy and the spirit of the Constitution. How anybody who claims to "deny ignorance" and still support Trump after his choices of billionaires and insiders for high level positions is beyond me. The horrors that are about to unfold are just as much as your responsibility as the cowardly democrats who nominated the personification of the establishment as their nominee.

"Democratic principles".
You mean like undocumented immigrants illegally voting in the election that account for the difference in the popular vote?
"authoritarian dictatorship"
You mean like the Presidency of Obama?
Get out of here with this fake news.

So you are saying that your state govt. is so dumb that they got baited by a city to pass the HB2 bill?! Please take some accountability for your party's actions instead of blaming it on someone else for once.
