Democrats, from Barack Obama to Hillary Clinton to former AG Eric Holder have spent the last couple of years sounding the alarm about the “danger to democracy” that is Republican gerrymandering:
=======================================================================================
This is a real danger to our democracy. Republican gerrymandering means that bills not supported by the people (like the abortion ban in Texas) become law and majority rule becomes impossible. Demand a fair redistricting process. #NDRC https://t.co/eol2lUYVIt

=======================================================================================
The passage of the Texas Senate’s congressional map is yet another blatantly partisan attempt to ignore demographic facts. GOP-led legislatures are attacking our representative democracy through rampant gerrymandering to hold onto power. Pass the Freedom to Vote Act. https://t.co/oNwFxlqMLg

=======================================================================================
From voter suppression to gerrymandering and foreign threats, American democracy is under assault.
Tomorrow, I’ll talk solutions with @rweingarten, @EricHolder, @LeahGreenB, and more at an event from @ShankerInst, @AFTUnion, and @OnwardTogether. https://t.co/g37iqI6wEq

Because we’re helping their cause, here’s another “danger to democracy” that Obama, Clinton and Holder should sound the alarm about:

And yet there’s nothing but crickets from leading Dems over this one.

Illinois Democrats show us how to gerrymander. #redistricting https://t.co/4M3lsSJWQS

Hilarious that Dems claim this is a Republican-originated practice. It was started more than 200 yrs ago in Mass. by party of Jefferson, Democratic-Republicans, which became parent to the modern Dem Party when it fractured in 1820s. https://t.co/EVXp3knV1q

So what’s the lesson learned here?
=======================================================================================
Some gerrymandering is good, you see https://t.co/oLXnqNj1pH

Remember this always: Gerrymandering is bad unless Democrats do it. https://t.co/DJPJpnYBmw

Barack Obama really got rolling in national politics thanks to gerrymandering, but Democrats weren’t complaining about this back then:
=======================================================================================
It’s only a “danger to democracy” if it bothers the Democrats.
Gerrymandering is ok when Democrats do it.
Hmmmm, no complaints about Maryland, either.
14D-3R, and THAT’s A ‘Danger to Democracy’?....................
Money may be the lifeblood of politics but hypocrisy (the practice of claiming to have moral standards or beliefs to which one’s own behavior does not conform) is the LIFE BREATH of politics! Yet the LEFT, protected by MSM, Bureaucracy, Academia and the like, suffers no pangs from their obvious excursions into hypocrisy while they cheerfully and vigorously hammer their opponents for the same. Remember that the LEFT has no principals or standards other than to win! An ugly but real truth!
Hypocrisy is a commodity in DC, traded openly on K Street, and sold to the highest bidder on a daily basis.............especially weekends..............
Coworker in IL told me today me about the SAFE-T Act, HB3653. He was at a meeting where the Sheriff talked to them. Under this bill, the police cannot remove a trespasser, just write them a ticket. You come home to find someone in your house? Cops can’t remove them.
Black flags rising.
SO, some drug addicted homeless scumbag breaks into your $500k home and tells the cops “I live here.” and you can’t do anything?................
What’s Oprah’s address?..................... asking for a friend..........................
All I know is what my coworker over in rural Illinois just told me. The Sheriff said that the homeowner “MIGHT” be able to remove the intruder, under police supervision. Property rights? WHAT property rights? The DemoRATS want you to live in a Kafkaesque Klown World where you have NO rights to defend yourselves, your families, and your property, and neither do the police. Just lie down and be a victim to the hordes of criminal voters they attract.
Wow! Good thing we have a Republic then! I was scared for a second there.
