How did that quote go again: "If conservatives become convinced that they can not win democratically, they will not abandon conservatism. The will reject democracy."

This is like, actually surreal to watch happen this fast. Democrats should take some lessons here in terms of what it takes to do politically motivated gerrymandering the "right way". If Democratic state legislatures don't respond in kind, and in time...
They won't
California did
California has somewhat unique freedom and weight by including a coast and an economy substantial enough to be an influential nation on its own. Take heart, but take care.
Virgina also did and they lack basically all of that
That was already overturned by the Virginia Supreme Court.
They only allow it when it benefits Republicans. They're not even hiding it anymore.
I mean if it was overturned by the sate supreme court that's really coming down to a state to state issue.
"They" in this case is the independently appointed supreme court judges for 50 states and their individual state constitutions.
Or are "they" Republicans? Because anyone paying attention knows they haven't been hiding their corruption for like 50 years.
Of course this is going to be a bigger deal due to the Federal Supreme Court gutting the civil rights act. I expect we'll see cases like this in several states
Unfortunate to hear that is how the VA Supreme Court ruled.
Is it time to exercise our constitutional rights yet? (2nd something, something)
dismantle its lone Democratic district
That's awful
represented by longtime Rep. Jim Clyburn.
Good riddance to that far right DINO, but still preferable to another Worst Carolina fascist representative. Probably. 😮💨
If i lived there, I'd be marching up and down in front of my local board of elections, screaming at them to hold the election.
Absolutely hysterical that they chopped Columbia up into thirds. It's such a democratic stronghold, they think divvying it up dillutes the vote, but I think they might be shooting themselves in the foot here. Either way, shit can't get done until Gov. calls 'em back for a special session and Foghorn Leghorn is fairly against this measure.
Edit: Weird to see so many folks to get worked up about my state. I actually think this has a higher chance of backfiring, if they enact it, than succeeding. All that being said, THIS WILL NOT HAPPEN , MARK MY WORDS. Gov. McMaster is leaving office and truly does not give a shit. He would rather keep the 6-1, than risk a 4-3.
I wonder if these red states are going to get their white flags from Amazon when this is all over with.
Why do we have to wait for November? Why can't we just skip to the part where everyone knows that the Untied States is factually a dictatorship? Why must America just allow MAGA to complete their fascist takeover?
This timeline continues to suck a bag of holding level of dicks
