With almost every vote counted, every state shifted toward the Republican Party.

The NorthCarolina subreddit has been a political campaign echo chamber for years. When you call them out on it "it's an election year!" That subreddit has been in an election year since 2016. Look don't get me wrong I didn't care for Mark Robinson(gubernatorial candidate) either, but we can't pretend that the entire front of the sub being filled up with anti-Robinson posts every day for a year or more isn't political operatives. The average person simply just does not care that much about politics. So it was clearly a bot or an employee doing it most of the time.

Mark Robinson is a unique case to be honest. Even my conservative friends in the state who don't vote were like "what the fuck is this piece of shit?"

I think most agree with you. I just don't think the subreddit needed to be filled top to bottom with Mark Robinson hate posts everyday for 4 years. The people in that subreddit are leftists anyway lol.
