  Are you talking about Virginia where their constitution requires two legislature votes and an election between changing district maps? A fact everyone knew before attempting a redistricting to eliminate Republicans seats by forcing six districts to run through Fairfax… Or are you talking about something else?

    There’s also all the crime trump and his cronies are trying to distract from that they’re doing by ignoring laws and taking bribes and stuff.
    - SV_BubbleTime 5mo ago
      Yeah, but like whatabout…

        Wait you’re what abutting me? What about all the red states who started the gerrymandering? That’s the real question. Why are you calling out one but not the other? Because you’re a partisan hack

        > red states who started the gerrymandering My memory starts more than a year ago. California, Illinois, and New York, rigged decades earlier than your screen told you to be mad at republicans who in reality are playing catch up on gerrymandering. But I noticed you’re trying to avoid the actual point. Virginia illegally pushed a new map against their own state constitution and their Supreme Court shot it down. Cry more about it. Yes, I’m a partisan hack. Yeah that’s what’s going on here. You read the referendum question they pushed in Virginia and pretend you’re on the correct side of legitimacy.

        >California, Illinois, and New York, rigged decades earlier than your screen told you to be mad at republicans who in reality are playing catch up on gerrymandering. Gerrymandering gave Republicans more seats than they deserved if all votes were equal in 2010 (+9), 2012 (+19), 2014 (+17), 2016 (+21), 2018 (+2), 2020 (+2). The closing of the gap since 2018 is the reason why Republicans restarted gerrymandering and made it their platform. My memory also starts more than a year ago, but I have clear data to show that gerrymandering over-represented the GOP for more than a decade - on top of the Senate being structurally biased in favor of Republicans.

    I am talking about: - the pardon of anyone involved with Jan 6, both the invasion of the capitol, the fake electors and the truthers that were condemned for lying in court or just plain contempt; - the promotion of 2020 election deniers to positions of power over the elections in the current administration; - the promotion of incompetent but loyal people at the head of the DOJ, FBI and DNI, who all refused to answer the question "who won the 2020 election" in a straight manner during hearings; - the strategy of universal gerrymandering being a capstone of the GOP platform; - the Supreme Court's recent ruling on VRA, and subsequent action to make sure it is applied ASAP even though the election affected has already begun (which is the exact opposite of how they ruled in the past); - the constant refusal of Hesgeth to commit to the rule of law; - the prosecution brought against six lawmakers for daring to remind soldiers they can only follow lawful orders; - the constant accusations of voter fraud that don't exist; - the attempt to forbid early voting, impose citizenship obligations - etc, etc, etc. https://www.theatlantic.com/newsletters/2026/02/trump-threats-american-elections/685873/ https://www.theatlantic.com/newsletters/2026/02/trump-threat... https://www.brennancenter.org/our-work/analysis-opinion/save-act-and-election-power-grab https://www.brennancenter.org/our-work/analysis-opinion/save... Reminder also that Trump never commited to accept the results of the 2024 election before he won. Not a single time.

      Have you considered stomping your feet more? But really, don’t you think it is just so interesting that almost all of Reddit agrees with you almost verbatim. How strange that they are have your exact talking points!

        I understand you may be confused by the existence of a shared objective reality.

I think the idea is to distract from the Epstein Files. Or maybe it's the Iran "excursion". Or the gerrymandering...
- Loughla 5mo ago
  It's absolutely gerrymandering. Trump is running candidates against any incumbent who doesn't vote for redistricting to gerrymander the map. I'm willing to bet he starts "joking" about how Roosevelt got more than two terms and the amendment to limit terms is a deep state crime.

  Or the vast grift… or the $1bn request for “ballroom” funding… or $1.5tn for the defense department… or the ballooning public debt at $40tn and counting, now cresting above 100% yearly gdp. But hey! ALIENS!!

Distraction from the mortgages, taxes, inflation etc. all of which is the modern equivalent of slavery. When the slaves are distracted they are unlikely to rebel.
