Man do I hope the blue wave is large enough to overwhelm these shitstains safety margins.

So back to racist maps while the Supreme Court and GOP claim it the opposite.

Welcome to the dictatorship

Southerners: "were not racist bro, the north are the real racists."

Also Southerners:

Anyone who spouted that bullshit line that

"America is beyond racism" "the country isn't inherently racist" "America wasn't built on racism!"

Better stay shut the fuck up for the rest of their natural lives

SCOTUS just said essentially " look how far we've come since the civil rights movement (implying it's over) welp let's just BRING BACK APARTHEID"

fuck bill lee. i hope he gets pancreatic cancer.

rip the city of memphis. taxation without representation.

Long-term this is fucking idiocy. The party that wants to take rights away from black people will NOT be on the right side of history, and they WILL eventually be just that. History.

The Union Army never should have left the South

What's interesting is that the Voting Rights Act has been used to gerrymander states to elect more GOP members.

The way you gerrymander is by creating one area that overwhelmingly goes for one party, and a bunch of other areas that very slightly go the other way. It's often hard to come up with a legal pretext to do that (back when that sort of thing mattered). The voting rights act said that not only was it legal to create districts that would give black voters a majority, it was necessary. How do you do that? You group all the black voters together into one district, thereby creating a strong democratic-voting district. What side effect does that have? It creates a bunch of other districts that are not democratic-leaning so the overall state goes Republican.

If other laws still mattered, Republicans might have been fighting to save the VRA because it was their best tool to legally gerrymander in their favour. But, with the modern "laws don't matter lol" supreme court, it's different.

After they were done jizzing their pants, no doubt.

It's a good thing they don't realise that whilst gerrymandering might notionally give you more seats, it makes all of them more marginal and easier for the opposition to take.
