North Carolina is on the verge of getting a MAGA governor. Why do we let this happen?

[MSN] There’s a type of person who thrives off of angering people online. They are commonly referred to as a "troll," someone who likes being provocative to get a rise out of netizens who come across the post.
We call them nitwit, pea brains, or other words with ast*risks in them.
Donald Trump
...The man who was so stupid he beat fourteen professional politicians, a former tech CEO, and a brain surgeon for the Republican nomination in 2016, then beat The Smartest Woman in the World in the general election...
proved in 2016 that being a troll can win you an election and now is proving it can get you a second presidential nomination.
Could be that most of us thought he was plain-spoken.
In North Carolina, my home state, there are two trolls on the ballot this year. Trump, whom you've heard of, and another who hopes to one day be just as famous.
Is he plain-spoken?
There has been a lot of recent coverage of North Carolina Republican Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson, now a gubernatorial candidate. Earlier this week, The Washington Post wrote about Robinson’s Facebook posts defending abusers like Harvey Weinstein.
If you can't trust the Washington Post, who can you trust?
"Harvey Weinstein and the rest of these high profile Hollywood elites were merely sacrificial lambs," Robinson said in a 2017 Facebook post, after dozens of women came forward to share their stories of Weinstein's sexual abuse. "They have been slaughtered in order to smear the airwaves with talk of ’sexual harassment’ and how pervasive the culture of ’toxic masculinity

...the liberal concept (the science is settled!) that men are knuckle dragging bastards who spend all their time watching football, drinking beer, burping, farting, and thumping their women. This doesn't apply if the men are girls transitioning to boys, or boys transitioning to girls, or either transitioning to sheep...
’ is in America."

#1 Another disgusting antisemite. Hopefully AIPAC money will be enough to defeat him and elect someone sane.

#2 Anti-Semite? Perhaps. But this claim does not pass the smell test. "On the other hand, he has said things that even give Republicans pause. While acting as governor last October, he declared the state's support of Israel in the war with Hamas. [??] It resulted in people calling him out for past antisemitic remarks he had made, including a Facebook post that outright denied the Holocaust happened." No quotes. No real proof, just unsubstantiated comment.

#3 Leftists' flaws are ignored or glossed over.

Non leftists' flaws are amplified and broadcast. If they don't have any, the media make some up.

#4 MSN hates him. He is being smeared as an anti-Semite by nameless trolls. What’s not to like? I may make a donation.

#5 You can generally be sure that anyone that AIPAC backs with their tremendous treasury is not an antisemite and will be sure not to betray Israel's interests.

#6 So the AIPAC priority has become maintaining vital access to quality grits and tasty barbecue?
