Will North Carolina's Extremist Republicans Drive Away Business -- To Connecticut?

Will all North Carolinians pay the price for Republicans nominating a gubernatorial candidate who favorably quotes Adolf Hitler, compares LGBTQ+ people to “maggots” and “flies,” and thinks a six-week abortion ban is awesome but not quite awesome enough?

And it was ridiculous that no candidate mentioned that the man they trail in the polls makes #anti-democracy assertions on a regular basis, such as recently insinuating that America’s top general should be executed." #GOPdebate #democracyeroding #disfunctional #TrumpsShadow https://open.substack.com/pub/thebulwark/p/in-trumps-shadow-a-meaningless-debate?utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=email

Koch $$ to oppose Trump in GOP primary elections

The political network established by the conservative industrialists Charles and David #Koch has raised more than $70 million for political races as it looks to help Republicans #move #past Donald J. #Trump, according to an official with the group.

With some of this large sum to start, the network, #Americans for #Prosperity #Action, plans to throw its weight into the G.O.P. presidential #nominating contest for the first time in its nearly 20-year history.

The network spent nearly $500 million supporting Republican candidates and conservative policies in the 2020 election cycle alone.
