What people aren’t realizing is that MAGA may well have screwed themselves worse, especially in such a hostile political environment as this one.
Before all this redistricting, it was going to be a bloodbath, not just because EVERY Dems is going to vote against MAGA, but a lot of Republicans are as well. Even more aren’t going to vote at all.
None of that has changed. In fact, the dishonest gerrymandering is going to make many people even angrier and more determined. They can gerrymander all they want, but the votes don’t go away.
Take Tennessee, for example, in which they eliminated the single Democratic district - but they didn’t get rid of the votes. They just spread them across 3 other strong Republican districts, weakening them badly. In a normal year, it might not be anything to worry about, but in a year in which the waters are flowing hard AGAINST the Traitors, it could easily lead to 3 districts going Blue, instead of just one.
Always remember this one important axiom of MAGA: they are profoundly ignorant, and virtuosically incompetent. They fuck up literally everything they contact, and they will fuck this up, too. The real problem is that we have to have leaders that will pounce on those inevitable mistakes, and exploit the shit out of them. We can’t be polite, and say “Oh, MAGA stumbled, let’s help them back up,” we have to kick them when they are down, then drop a giant rock on their head.
The biggest issue America faces right now is the sheer number of people who still think rules, laws, and logic apply (they barely did in the first place but it’s fully gone now). This administration, Israel, all the pedos, and all the oligarchs will not stop just because people vote against them. You cannot beat authoritarians with the system, you cannot beat them with laws, you cannot beat them with the truth, literally the only thing that can work against authoritarians is extreme violence against them.
I was kinda thinking about the point you made about the gerrymandering might bite them in the ass. Texas announced they were doing it and I thought the districts were already somewhat gerrymandered. How far can you min/max that setup before your repub+ districts are so razor thin that you lose more than you gain in a high turnout vote? I’m sure someone smart did math but if it’s maga math then I expect it to be wrong.
There is another nuance to midterm redistricting that doesn’t get considered: Time.
Districts are normally redrawn following the Census, which is done every 10 years, based on those current demographics. As the decade goes on, those demographics change, as new neighborhoods are built, populations shift, etc. Also, the people themselves change. A person who answers the census at 20, is a very different person than who answers the Census at 30.
So when they redraw the districts deep into the decade, they are doing it based on old, inaccurate data, and they are not going to get the precise response they are expecting. Add to that, the variable that special election results show that Trump is underwater far worse than polls are showing, badly losing elections in districts that had been strong MAGA and Trump supporters in the past.
These districts are being redrawn based on old data, and while it definitely skews things in their favor, it isn’t the slam dunk they think it is, for multiple reasons. Mostly, MAGA’s confidence that this situation saves the House and Senate for them is all show. Don’t let them get you down. All it means is that they are going to cry and scream even louder when they lose.
And in 2031, when they redraw the districts following the 2030 census, Blue states should do everything they can do eliminate as many Red districts as possible. Fuck those pedophile traitors.
If any of their gerrymandering schemes fail because of what you describe, the Republicans will claim that Dems must have cheated, and refuse to accept it. Like this time, I think actually refuse to honor the results.
They know that they simply cannot lose power, and I believe we are going to see as-yet unseen levels of fuckery to that end.
I understand how black representation, and safe districts, makes incumbents in those districts angry when taken away. Broader power though comes from majority, and past GOP gerrymandering has indeed focused on making 99% dem/black districts so as to make more 55% GOP districts. This is actually the path to both corrupt fascist power monopoly, and increased divisiveness with low voter turnout. Generally, black representation is a distraction for serving other agenda. Obama won due to zionist supremacist establishment approval. Tim Scott is GOP insider with GOP/Zionist first agenda that ignores black issues.
The point is that black representation doesn’t change anything. Like Chuck Schumer, their job is to gaslight the blacks into supporting Israel.
Mixed districts does promise less divisiveness. GOP candidates can’t be all in on KKK/Palantir genocide of all undesirables, or ICE siege of Memphis, when they need Memphis voters too.
Memphis voter turnout can now make a huge difference in Tenessee congressional representation, and Israel/DNC first cooption less important than Tenessee/Memphis relevant issues/harmony.

Yeah, keep telling yourself that. The fact of the matter is that when the polls open these people will walk in and vote like they always have.

I really hope you are right.
Because the alternative seems not just dark but pitch black

Nah, the “both sides” crowd will blow it again
