And not that it would've changed anything but they fucking kicked out the Democrats while doing it

I'm in Tennessee. We've had protests all over the state. The maga idiots here just laugh to themselves while our elected officials don't listen to 36% of the population.

The retort is.. yeah well look at Virginia.. mofo they voted on that. I'd love to have the opportunity.

But honestly I knew after Nashville was busted up after 160 years in 2020 they were going to do everything they could to redden the state.

Fucking cunts.

Additionally fuck Marsha Blackburn.

I’m just waiting for when they realize this is a BAD thing — in that now all three of those districts need fewer non-voters to show up.

A lot of these red redistricting maps are weakening their safe seats. I’m sure they’ve got some very skilled statisticians using very good software, but the datasets they’re using are from 2 years ago when they were in opposition, during a very anti establishment time. The cultural moment is still very anti establishment, but now they’re the establishment.

So by diluting their safe seats, they’re likely creating a bunch of seats liable to be much more competitive in the next few elections. If they spend resources and effort to sure up those seats, they’ll probably be able to win most of them, but that’s resources and effort they could have been spending in other races. These states were already gerrymandered favorably for them, have been for decades, the democratic states doing gerrymander in response have a much easier time creating new blue districts that will actually be safe, since they’re working with a blank gerrymander slate.

It’s the Deep South. Are we surprised?

They’ve been itching to reinstate Jim Crow down there.

A bit more disenfranchisement and the plantation owners politicians will get slavery back.
