The democrats are like Iran-at war with us. The republicans are like every POTUS that wouldn't acknowledge this war. It takes a Trump to put a stop to it.
Who are the Dade Phelan’s in Indiana? Can somebody there name names?
Same bunch that gave us Mike Pence.
The democrats have Plan B , C , D etc etc etc ready to go to screw things up
In the next 10-20 years if the Republicans play this right can gain control over congress for a generation or more, look at where people are moving and where they are moving from.
Red states, especially Southern Red States are gaining people, blue states are losing population which means more electoral votes and members in Congress for Red States.
Florida was cheated out of 1-2 seats in the 2020 census, in the 2030 census, Florida could get 2-4 more seats in Congress, if the Republicans in Florida don’t screw it up, all those new seats will be Republicans.
Florida with the new redistricting is 24-4 Republican, it would be 27-28 to 4 after 2030...
Tennessee = 1
Louisiana = 2
South Carolina = 1
Alabama = 2
Mississippi = 1
Georgia = 5
These could all go away and Republicans *could* pick up another dozen seats in the House. Right now, Republicans lead 13-10 in redistricting and that's if you count Virginia's 4 seats which is currently suspended. Strip out those 4 and Republicans have a 7 seat edge and could gain another 12. This would make it very difficult for Democrats to win the House.
More like 1 month if we are realistic...doable for any legislature that can call itself into session. Unfortunately the Kentucky legislature cannot do that so this ruling came a bit too late.
Indiana should bring it up again - let the turncoats get exposed again before primary day if they want to stick with their shenanigans.
“The fun kicked off in Texas last July, following President Trump’s urging, pushed the Texas Legislature to redistrict the Lone Star State’s congressional map in a pro-GOP direction.”
Wrong.
The “fun” started at least 2 years ago when Alabama and Louisiana were each forced to implement a mid-decade racist gerrymander which deprived 2 White Republicans of their U.S. House seats.
Democrats have been doing this exact thing *mid-decade* (and other times) for YEARS. Last decade it was Florida, North Carolina, Virginia and Pennsylvania. Net cost to the GOP was at least half a dozen seats, and that’s being charitably conservative about how screwed they were.
But: “waah, waah, waah, Trump started it!!!!!”
Even media types on “our” side who should (and do) know better always fail to state the truth.
Between the redistricting, and the forced purging of voter rolls, this might be a once in a lifetime slam dunk for Republicans, at least in the House. This means that all eyes should be on the Senate, and the state races, to a much lesser extent.
