It starts with the lamentation of their women:
Things are going badly on redistricting, and Democrats are losing it.
But it’s more than that. They’ve got themselves into a position — which began with Barack Obama’s hollowing out of the party over a decade ago — in which they can’t afford to lose the next couple of elections, even as their position erodes.
Due to an “accidental error” in the 2020 census, blue states got more seats in the House — and more electoral votes — than they were entitled to. When that “error” is fixed, the situation will be worse for them. Then there’s the flood of refugees from blue states to red, further expanding their Congressional majorities. (But beware of the refugees who continue to vote blue. Where’s my “welcome wagon” proposal?)
Meanwhile, the Trump Administration is choking off the flood of taxpayer money that has kept leftist organizations and institutions afloat, buying votes with taxpayer dollars. And the federal workforce has shrunk 10% with more “draconian cuts” on the way.
It’s a bit like Winfield Scott’s “Anaconda Plan” to choke off the Confederacy — which worked once it was actually employed. (And Trump is doing something similar with Iran, choking it off gradually rather than going for a swift coup de main, which is disappointing some people but which will work at a much-reduced cost in lives. But that’s another essay.)
This is why the Democrats, and the left, but I repeat myself, are unhappy. They feel it happening.
And you hear more about it from them than from the media and influencers on the right, interestingly......SNIP

Conservatives just need to avoid complacency.
Everything Obama did was pro racist and pro communist. Having him “touch” anything was like someone sprinkling some fungus.
All DNC redistricting is race/ethnicity based. They have to do this to favor the 20M illegals they imported and are funding.
Quote of the Day:

Love it!
When the "accidental errors" benefit only the Democrats but not the Republicans it is not an error. It is by design.
2020 was peak Democrat power. The stolen election snd fudged census was their last stand.
When the “accidental errors” benefit only the Democrats but not the Republicans it is not an error. It is by design.

Right.
Moreover, when it benefits the democrats, the media is silent and the legal action is slow or non-existent.
When the opposite is the case, there is a fury.
GET OUT AND VOTE EVERY TIME YOU CAN!
One final hurdle, gang :
√ Holding house & senate,
√ removing some RINOs,
√ adding some MAGAns,
√ passing the SAVE ACT,
√ or Donks backing away from Marxist plans
√ such that busting the filibuster is not needed.
Success in November will assure a smooth patch for the foreseeable future.
I agree with that.
And I find it extremely amusing that the peak of Democrat power coincided with Joe Biden as President. Quite a joke.
Don’t worry, the Republicans will give the Dems mass amnesty as a gift..

DeSantis got reelected with 60% of the vote. Floridans learned from the first 4 years. Perhaps the mid-term voters will learn from the last 5+.
