The Left-Wing Fringe Throws Another Tantrum Over Redistricting
American Thinker ^ | 25 May, 2026 | Jim Davis

It’s pretty clear to see why they’re so upset: They’re not doing well.

Run, little donkeys, run. The congressional redistricting of the South and Midwest, arising from the GOP’s crushing Supreme Court victory in Louisiana v. Callais, has started. The herd of elephants is charging. And they’re trampling every rural Democrat in their path, from North Carolina to Texas and Missouri.

The donkeys are forced to cower in their anthill-like cities. The elephants won’t take the biggest ones, or the states that are so Blue, they’re ultraviolet. But they’re taking the rest of the country.

According to my scorekeeping, this is what the scoreboard looks like so far (it’s very early in the process).

- The Democrats gained six likely-Blue districts: five in California, one in Utah.

- The Republicans gained 14 likely-Red districts (Texas, Florida, Missouri, Ohio, Tennessee, and North Carolina)

- This yielded a net gain of eight seats for the GOP.

- After the SCOTUS ruling on Calais/VRA, Democrats will now likely lose up to:

-20 Congressional seats

-191 state legislative seats

Once you add in the 2030 Census reapportionment, they will likely lose another 12+ Congressional seats and 12 Electoral votes.

This means they… https://t.co/s9AADsjSIf — DC_Draino (@DC_Draino) May 18, 2026

I emphasize: this is just a progress report “so far.” This is a process. It’s barely getting started. There’s much more in store, and most of it will be painful for the Democrats.

Some projections indicate that the net gain for Republicans, by the November 2028 election, could be as much as 40 seats in both the U.S. House, if such measures as the SAVE America Act and subtracting illegal immigrants from the Census are also taken. This would turn the donkeys’ strategic retreat into a panicked rout.

“When people get used to preferential treatment, equal treatment seems like discrimination.”

_Thomas Sowell

Ironic isn’t it? That this brilliant yet simple and absolutely TRUE observation comes from a black man.

It’s about time. The left has been hiding behind reverse racial discrimination for decades to amass power over the people of this country. Because power is all they know. Strength from the barrel of a gun and all that nonsense - only they only want themselves and the people they control to have guns.

Now that the right has undone that racist gerrymandering, they’re all screaming like a stuck pig that they are being discriminated against, when in fact, they’ve been doing it to us for decades.

Democrats are the enemy within. Their racism balloon has just been deflated. But don’t worry, they’ll find new and exciting ways to destroy the nation.

You bet.....and so is Dr. Brn Carson for that matter.

And yet a whole lot of black people would rather gravitate towards the likes of sean combs, a music genre that disrespects women and calls openly for violence against police and thug athletes and sees them all as rile models.

Their stupid policies are all backfiring. DEI, wokeness, anti-American, unpatriotic, lbgtq wtf, anti-girl’s & women’s sports, at least 12 genders, and taxes up the wazoo. Oh, and not to forget vaccines that don’t work and worse, might just kill you, just take it or lose your job. Even my libtard neighbor removed their “Hate has no home here” bs sign. “The times they are a changin.”

The history of the Demonrat party shows they do NOT judge a person by the content of their character, but by the color of their skin!
After all, they fought a Civil War to keep their slaves on their plantations, and those slaves were not Caucasian!!
They also fought hard to keep Clarence Thomas OFF the Supreme Court!
Now they are fighting a very NOT civil war to keep Black voters on their Demonrat plantation.
Well, as my friend from Watts would say,”Well bless their LITTLE hearts!”

...subtracting illegal immigrants from the Census...

I'm voting for more of that.

The Dems haven’t been this upset since Lincoln took away their slaves.

Sounds good to me. The less Democrats voting, the fewer things get screwed up.

So true,

Which party gave birth to the KKK?

Which party closed the schools to black kids during the 1950's ?

Was Bull Conner a demonRAT?

Which President, after passing the "Great Society BS" said, and I quote, "I'll have these niggers voting demonRAT for the next 200 years"?

Why do the demonRATs always get away with blaming the pubbies for what they do?

Never mind, I forgot about the free and fair press.
