NC Gov. Pat McCrory was interviewed on NPR the other day and managed to express the idea that passage of Hate Bill 2 was the fault of transgender people.
If we had not pushed for equal rights and access to public accommodations, then conservative forces would not have been forced to take them away from us.
He and other conservatives were also vehemently upset over AG Loretta Lynch's comparison of the current state of affairs to Jim Crow.
I've been reading about Kayfabe recently and its hard not to notice the similarities to the Trump campaign and American politics in general.

Chanute, Kansas - Mother Jones Passing Through on Way to Kansas City
I did not not think they would lose their composure so quickly but they muist be willing to risk it. Nevada was the turning point I think.
The tactics used there foretell what is coming. Look for it to get much worse. They fear the massive turn out expected at the Philadelphia convention and will make it clear that you go there at your own risk.
I apologize ahead of time for the somewhat lightweight diary, but I decided to make it a diary rather than a comment b/c I want a larger number of people to see it and help me speculate on this question.
If you were paying attention tonight ( and this morning, it was a loooong day) you had the terrifying privilege of watching democracy be stolen. Not gently. Not with the slow drain of disenfranchisement, nor the creeping hand in a ballot box.
It was public. It was on Twitter, Reddit, Facebook, Periscope and god knows where else. It was blatent. It was shameless.
Nevada showed that are our fears are justified. Our anger is justified.

I'm not sure WaPo would let anyone run the story nowadays. It's too hard-hitting on someone other than Trump, who is beefing with Jeff Bezos/WaPo (New reality show? BATTLE OF THE BILLIONAIRES!)

Remembering James Connolly's Departure from New York City
In New York City on July 14, 1910, A Farewell Dinner was held for James Connolly:
Anne Graham Lotz, Billy Graham's not-so-famous daughter, runs something called AnGeL Ministries, which is apparently a North Carolina Church.
She says God has gotten so angry at "transgender silliness," that he let 9/11 happen, has let historically bad weather kill people all over the country, and is bring chaos to the land.
It must be true.
