These fuckers started this shit with Texas. Dems simply said "play ball". Repubs then got distracted playing with their own.

It's well past time to see the hysterics of GQP when the Dems go on the offensive instead of only reacting after the Republicans pull this shit.

Who am I kidding? Never gonna happen.

If not for hypocrisy, the GOP would have no platform at all.

We need to make sure these foreign assets get relieved of duty, and tried for treason

I was at a dinner and sat near a guy who didn't know what this election was about.

Me: The amendment allows Virginia to redraw maps to counter-act the maps that Republicans are drawing in other states

Guy: gerrymandering is already bad. Why should we make people in Virginia suffer for what's happening elsewhere?

Me: because gerrymandering is what's making Republicans stay in power.

Guy: what's wrong with that?

Me: because they are being assholes

Guy: but they were voted in.

Me: but after gerrymandering illegally I might add. Democratic states are trying to level the playing field.

Guy: just because Democrats do it legally doesn't make it any less wrong.

The exchange told me everything I needed to know about the guy.

I've been talking about this for the last six months.

Republicans did not abandon their gerrymandering push out of ethics. They realized that they'd fucked up to such an extent that their 2024 coalition no longer exists, and they can't accurately project where they will have strength in 2026. Therefore, the gerrymandering they have done has largely worked against them.

That'll happen when you're elected on affordability and don't do jack shit to fix the cost of living.
