That’s your mistake right there. MAGA is a fascist ideology. They *don’t* *like* representative democracy.
The timing is the part worth paying attention to. The Court has repeatedly said judges shouldn’t interfere in elections already underway — and then issued this ruling with just enough time for Southern states to redraw maps mid-cycle, cancel already-cast ballots, and hold new primaries. Whether you support the ruling or not, doing it in the middle of an active election season is a pretty hard thing to call anything other than a political move.
You can still go vote — they’re just doing everything they can to make sure your votes don’t matter.
Even North Korea has elections. Iraq under Saddam Hussein had elections with compulsory attendance.
> They sliced up the one district held by a Black Democrat, with the intended outcome that all nine of Tennessee’s representatives will be Republican.
This is the 3rd time I’ve heard someone say there’s a Black Democrat Representative in TN right now. AOC said it and this is the second article. TN-09 is held by Steve Cohen, a white guy
The tyrannical government is here folks ..
The republican party does not represent the people. They don’t want to represent the people. They will do everything they can to oppress and exploit the people.
Today’s GOP is a fascist, corrupt party.
MAGA doesn’t want democracy, they want a dictatorship.
Just the confederacy doing confederacy things again
Supremely corrupt court
Kind of a bizarre thing to do in a country based on the precedent that it is acceptable to use violence when your interests are no longer being represented. I’m sure this won’t have any consequences down the road. No sir.
The fascist mouthpieces at Advisory Opinions podcast— Isgur and French tip their hand with the use of the phrase ‘“It is interesting..” when they explain their love of the rabid fascist decisions of SCOTUS. Fuck us. Seriously fuck us for letting it happen.
Georgia turning Blue in 2020 absolutely terrified the GOP. They are willing to do literally anything to stay in power.
North Korea has the DPRK, we now have the DPRA.
Is TN a dummymander at least? Based on 2018, it would have 3 absolute toss up districts and two districts within 1 to 3 points.
2018 was a great Dem year but some underlying factors favor them more this year – mainly, same anti-Trump energy on the left, but a major economic mallaise that could depress GOP turnout and turn more Independents to the Dems, including the very unpopular war and rising inflation.
Dems Generic Ballot lead is higher now than it was 5/14/2018 (but still below election day)
Can TN go 5-4 Blue with this map?
The Court got it wrong. It’s not 2005, 2015, or even 2020. We wouldn’t be here without them.
What do we do with traitors? Asking for a justice friend.
And as usual, US citizens will take no action to resist this.
They’ll make a new line in the sand and say “this time, I mean it, I’ll really do something if *this* line is crossed!”
November will come. Voting will fail as it did in 2024. They’ll tell themselves and others a few excuses to not take action. They’ll mark a new line in the sand “2028! You’ll see!” and the cycle of doom scrolling and inaction will continue.
You’ve made your bed, America.
It blows my mind how many impacted people didn’t even vote.
This is insane we are going backwards.
Quite literally had a person today tell me that the whole purpose of our political system is to prevent the majority from controlling the minority population. To which I asked, by allowing the minority to control the majority? I can’t understand how Republicans can rationalize ANY of this nonesense.
It’s going to get a lot worse… no one is doing shit, and they are emboldened. Midterms are going to be a riot.
What happened to separate but not equal is not equal. How many times do we have to learn the same lessons from history about racism
Can someone explain to an European what is going on?
I live in an actual democracy, all this is flying over my head.
I need context.
Trump and magats can’t be reconciled with society in general.
The United States of America as we knew it is over. The time to do something was November of 2024, you can’t put the genie back in the bottle. The only thing we can do is start anew.
Trump and his administration is the government the founders warned us about.
