>Republicans will likely launch mid-decade redistricting in many Southern states heading into 2028, eliminating as many as 19 more Democratic seats in hopes of locking in a near-permanent GOP majority.

Not necessarily. The reason? Democrats can move to redraw maps in time for the 2028 elections in states where they control the legislatures.

but will democrats actually do the work to neutralize these threats? not so sure, as much as I want to believe they would.
ALSO I hope every redrawn republican district gets dummymandered to absolute fucking hell.

it’s bad for everyone and bad for people to have a voice. it’s funny bc in 30-40 years of this, i feel like we are gonna go back to something like the voting act bc it makes things more fair for both sides. if you are republican or democratic this is going to suck for everyone

This headline only works under the presumption that donald trump, five years a President, understands how *any* part of government works.

There is only one outcome for all of this in my opinion: another civil war.
People talk all the time about how it isn’t possible because of blue cities in red states and red rural areas in blue states. But the inevitable outcome of what is going to happen now is that blue voters in red states and red voters in blue states are going to be mostly completely disenfranchised- both federally and at the state level.
My prediction is that sometime in the future, a democratic candidate for the WH will be elected on the platform of expanding SCOTUS and reigning in the abuses of state level governments and many or all red states will use their super majorities in the state house to pass secession laws- likely timed as they were the first time in between the election and assumption of power by the new president.

Gerrymandering only works if you can pack and crack to a level of certainty about your voters.
I’d be worried about that a lot, right now, if I were the GOP.

The entire reason DT got a second term is because Dems weren’t willing to prosecute him until it was too late and then they were scared to let anyone outside of the establishment run against him. Unless the Democrats get a spine we are doomed to repeat Republican chaos agents like Trump forever.
I sadly don’t have faith in the democrats currently power, they are too scared to rock the boat.

You can just stop at “Trump has no clue”.
I_am_Zuul on
Gerrymandering relies on holding your base. You combine districts until *your* representative has so much power in that area, a competitor cannot meaningfully compete – provided you hold your base.
LA, TX, TN… all red states. The truth is, the Republicans are doing this because they’re losing sway in those states at a breakneck pace and this is a power grab to keep it. These were states that were most likely going to vote red in the next few elections anyway.
BUT… if Trump and his party begin to either alienate their base as their greed expands *or* embolden people that normally *wouldn’t* have voted to get out and vote… that’s not good for conservatives.
People on here saying “it goes both ways” aren’t huffing copium – this harming the Republicans even more than the Democrats is very much on the table for this.

Trump “don’t know shit about fuck.”
He has no fucking clue about the structure, history or purpose of the government or Constitution, beyond whatever ghoul is whispering in his ear at the moment. It’s embarrassing that so many people gleefully and repeatedly voted for somebody so ignorant.

Instead of working on national solutions to end gerrymandering and make voting more fair, Republicans seek to bloody the waters and give their indoctrinated supporters more ammo to reinforce their core belief that every bad thing republicans do, has a “The Left Too!” counterpoint. Division is their goal.

Taken straight from AI. We know how to do it, just need the political will to get it done.
KEY PROPOSALS TO REDUCE $$$ IN POLITICS:
– Constitutional Amendment: Aims to declare that corporations do not possess the same constitutional rights as human beings, allowing states to regulate campaign spending.
– End Corporate PAC Money: Proposes banning contributions from corporate Political Action Committees (PACs) to federal candidates.
– Public Financing System: Promotes small-donor matching systems to lessen dependency on large, wealthy donors.
– Strengthen Disclosure Laws: Requires full transparency of all political spending, including “dark money” from 501(c) non-profit groups.
– Ban Lobbyist Gifts: Ends financial incentives and gifts from lobbyists to politicians.

He knows. They all know. They know that they will win regardless.
There logic is literally: rig the elections, then if the Dems win accuse them of rigging the elections you just rigged because who could win a rigged election without rigging?
