More like North Korea...
I never thought I'd see civil society break down the way it is currently happening all around us...
Like North Korea? Seriously? Kim Jung Un is holding a US student on espionage charges after he foolishly tried to steal a poster. In north Korea they summarily kill political opponents. (I think Trump should appoint Dennis Rodman as ambassador to N Korea (if we have diplomatic relations with them).

If the NC legislature is exceeding their (NC) constitutional authority they will be challenged in the NC courts. This is far from a break down in civil society, it seems more like partisan politics that have been amped up by people refusing to accept the election outcome.
The next event to watch is Monday when the electoral college electors actually vote. There is a bunch of magical thinking from political elites, and hollywoods finest that they can talk electors out of voting their state mandates. Of course if the political elite don't get their wish they may take it up a notch.
I love all the civics that these refuseniks are learning over night. They have flip flopped from wanting to abandon the electoral college, to singing it's praises as they see it as a vehicle to void the election. While this is a bad season for predictions, I predict either way they will be opposed to the electoral college again by tuesday.
Interesting times, the gift that doesn't stop giving... It warms my heart to hear Hollywood liberals reciting the constitution in TV ads. 8)
So far we have enjoyed peaceful transitions of power after the last 40+ presidential administrations. I hope and expect this one will be the same.

PS: The analysis of this seems awfully shallow, and an extension of "everyone from that party sucks". I will only remind you that you are talking about 60+ million fellow citizens. If I wanted more personal attacks I wouldn't block so much stuff on facebook. Perhaps we can be a little more civil here.
