This is what happens when MAGA decides to actively, GLEEFULLY, strip voting protections from Black people.

As it turns out, black people really, truly appreciate their voting rights, because they fought so hard to get them. White people don't care, their voting rights have never been an issue, they're just handed to them at birth. But black people still have to fight for their basic right to vote. So restrict and suppress those rights, and they'll just show up in massive numbers to crush you.

One of MAGAs stupidest traits is that they only understand naked power, and they think that's all that matters. They think they will pound their enemies with one blow, and that will be the end. They are always surprised that's there's a response, often one that is stronger and more effective. Everything will be over in a day, and then it's not.

These MAGA Morons thought that by gerrymandering these blue/ black districts out of existence, it would also eliminate their votes, but that's not how it works. They still vote, but now their voting from inside a previously safe red district, and that's how flips happen.

More virtuosic incompetence from MAGA. Count on it every time.

    I don't think it's that white people don't care; there's an assumption though that they think being born is how they get to vote, when in reality the first American voters where only the wealthiest landowners, and enough time has passed that it's not as easily passed down by generations as a cautionary tale against the rich and powerful.
