Smith is 100% correct. Look at what just happened in Tennessee: a single map redraw by the Republican legislature effectively carved up Memphis’s 9th district three ways, ending Steve Cohen’s career and diluting the Black vote. This isn’t about running better campaigns or talking about inflation; it’s about changing the physical architecture of voting so that a minority party can maintain permanent legislative control regardless of public sentiment.

Looking at early returns on CNN, Trump still remains strong in the brainwashed South. These people think there’s no price for corruption. Are they in for a surprise. MAPA- Make America Pay Again.

I mean, they’ve already gerrymandered the shit out of everything to begin with, and probably still going to lose even after completely gerrymandering ALL D districts in several states.
All while Trump approval rating continues to plunge, gas prices stay high, affordability is horrible, this just shows that they’d rather cheat than actually govern.
Unfortunately, half of the USA are insane idiots so who knows.
This is part of our shameful past. It was as un-American then as it is now. Sweet home Alabama don’t smell so sweet, again.

I don’t care much for polls, but if so many people allegedly hate what Trump is doing, won’t seeing a Trump-endorsed candidate in the general election be bad thing?

Yeah they have controlled the court and with the executive branch going fully MAGA, they are double teaming the congress. So even with midterm, we won’t see any changes because we won’t get 2/3

We still get a vote. The easy way or the hard way.

Look, they can gerrymander all they want, but, the vote swings hard enough, none of that will matter. You can gerrymander a 53 – 47 split, but, once you get to around 60% of the vote, reality starts to kick in. You can’t gerrymander your way out of having only 2/3 as many voters as your opponent. The math just doesn’t work out at that point.

We already knew this in November of 2024. It’s what ~67% of voting age Americans supported.

November will leave them behind.
