Here's sort of how this went sour. Democrats, "Man, I can't wait to get in power... when I do, everything is going to be so 'fair' and it's going to be paradise." Republicans, "Once I get in power I'm going to use the rules to my advantage and make sure I stay in power." Democrats, "Aww shucks, you beat us by using the rules we all agreed to! Man, I never saw that one coming." Republicans, "We told you we hated government... see how backwards it is... come vote for us next time and we'll do something about it. Also Jesus." Democrats, "Ok! Once we turn 40 we're there!" And thus, Gerrymandering is here to stay.
