Supreme Court: Southern state governments are no longer racist and engaging in irregular, targeted at Blacks election law.
Louisiana: Immediately tries to cancel election ballots have already been cast in to draw another white district.

Democracy means nothing to America. We won’t do anything. Just sit here and take it.

In most countries, the official buildings would be burned to the ground if anyone tried something like this.
I guess Americans are just too busy being angry online.

History rhymes: The Jim Crow Era officially began when Louisiana conservatives, being racist pieces of sh’t, turned it up to 11 following a similar SCOTUS ruling.

“If you really like Donald Trump, that’s great, but if you don’t, you have to vote for me anyway. You know why? Supreme Court judges, Supreme Court judges. You have no choice, sorry, sorry, sorry. You have no choice…. the next president will probably have three, could be four, could even be five (appointments to make to the Supreme Court)”
— Donald Trump, rally at Cedar Rapids IA 7/27/16
Even a corrupt criminal lunatic like Trump knew in 2016 that the key to power in the US was to control the Supreme Court. The left wing of the Democratic party obviously didn’t understand this then, and I’m not sure they even do now.

This administration is exactly what the US warned against and all patriots said it would never happen. America showed it’s true colors and it’s yellow they’re all afraid of standing up. All those don’t tread on me folks are now just BDSM folks asking to be stepped on. The goal post isn’t even in the planet anymore. Fuck trump, fuck this admin, they all deserve to be in jail and face the public. Everyone who voted for trump your just a fuckin idiot.

Still, there will only be 2 house districts that will be affected at most in Louisiana. If the polling holds true until November, then Republicans will lose the midterms, even if these two seats are lost.
We should be concerned with the long term implications of the ruling and how it can be combatted. We tend to he extremely shortsighted which is how we ended up in this position to begin with.

Well, they need people who will enforce their rules.
Gods know they aren’t gonna do work themselves.

Outside of everything that appears to be stupidly stupid… I thought there were laws saying election stuff can’t be changed close to an election

So it’s now time for every Blue state to draw their districts to eliminate every GOP rep.

MMW, a decade’s worth of explicitly racial and anti-democratic gerrymandering in the south to ensure every single congressional district remains red is going to lead to Civil War 2 by 2040. Minorities being permanently disenfranchised from democracy won’t make them give up, it will just make them drop the pretense of nonviolence. We’ll see race riots again, and attacks on government and officials as backlash to being shut out of the democratic process.

Remember when a sitting president couldn’t appoint a SCOTUS judge because “it was an election year” which resulted in a conservative SCOTUS judge, who now is allowing republicans to cancel a primary literally right before it was suppose to start.
Conservatives lie and cheat. That’s inherently who they are.

I sure hope that one-day consumer strike we’ve got planned finally does the trick and makes things right around here. I’ve got a good feeling about this one. We almost did it before, but this is the thing that will matter. 🤞

To be fair, they told us the South would rise again. Damned if they didn’t pull it off.

Republicans can only win if they cheat and they know it.
