You will not thank me for this link
It is stomach turning. People HAVE to know.

On the surface, the Scandal with North Carolina Lt. Governor Mark Robinson posting vile posts on a porn site is kind of a "Dog Bites Man" story. After "Grab 'em by the pussy" Republicans either deny deny deny shit like this, or say "it's locker room talk". I was like, "He's a sociopath, of course he's not going drop out."
That link has a YouTube video from Meidas Touch were the guy TRIES to read some of those posts out loud, and he can't get through them. They are that legitimately upsetting and offensive. He's bragging in explicit details about having extremely raunchy and scatological sex with his wife's sister! It is purely insane and disgusting.
Even if the things posted were just fantasies on a porn site, and never happened, the specific things detailed speak of a profoundly disturbed mind. Ben Meiselas notes in the video that Cal Cunningham, a Democrat who ran for governor of North Carolina 8 years ago was shellacked by Republicans for extremely mild / affectionate texts from an extra-marital affair. That being disqualifying for them 8 years ago really brings home how far they have fallen by circling the wagon over this monster.
Robinson is crazy. Not just because of the gross talk and Nazi / slavery fantasies. He's crazy because he didn't drop out yesterday when there was still time. It would have been BAD for him, but being replaced by a saner candidate would make people quickly forget about it.
He's so crazy and stupid he doesn't understand that now this is ALL the next 50 days are gonna be about. They won't show or read those texts on CNN (for good reason) but most people WILL see them, and we'll see a mad scramble of Republicans deleting their Twitter accounts' photos of them shaking hands with the guy and calling him a good Christian and the next generation leader of the Republican Party. This won't just cost Trump the election (although I don't see how it doesn't), it will drag down the entire GOP with him.
We have a shitty Senate map this year. I think this might save us. People have predicted the demise of the Republican Party before, and I'm not dumb enough to believe when we win this election they'll crawl back into the sewer for good. But listen to this if you have the stomach. We will be winning elections this year in places we have no business winning elections.
I wish I felt better about that great news for America. But listening the video has me currently sick to my stomach. I am not exaggerating about how bad it is.

NAACP President Derrick Johnson spoke with Jake Tapper on his show "The Lead", in which he lambasted Robinson as a delusional clown. He called for Robinson to not only drop out of the race for governor of North Carolina, but to make an apology to the entire Black community in America for elevating himself as a "Black politician" on such a toxic and reprehensible platform. Of course, being a MAGA acolyte, Robinson ignored both requests. Other CNN journalists and anchors explained the simple reason why; Adam Kinzinger told Anderson Cooper what we all know too well -- because Trump basically owns the MAGA Republicans, their job is to put hateful, racist, xenophobic, misogynistic, and obnoxious jerkwads on every ticket for every office. "Real" politicians are "lame" to Trump; he NEEDS the uglies representing the GOP. And now many ex-MAGAs are finally coming to terms with why the GOP has been losing big in every major electoral battle since 2016 -- you simply cannot win elections when your candidates actually drive voters away with their vile and hateful vitriol or who focus solely on one group of the electorate (bigoted White men) and ignore the others. Worst of all, the GOP knowingly dehumanizes the crucial non-White male voter base they need -- costing them elections -- and then turns around and dismisses those lost elections as "stolen"... Trump just fucking REWROTE GOP politics in America, most likely for a long time.
As for Mark Robinson? I don't even consider him a Black American. I'll throw him in with R. Kelly and Diddy Combs; Black men masquerading as trailblazers who actually use their platforms to deal in illegal and morally reprehensible operations in secret are a disgrace to the efforts of Blacks to elevate themselves to a respectable level, and only serves to give America more reasons to dismiss them as "animals". Robinson might as well go get his skin bleached for all I care; he's a complete fraud.
