  1. 1. Trump told GOP in Texas to redraw

    2. Democrats said don’t we will respond in kind.

    3. GOP followed through on Trump’s order.

    4. Democrats are following through as well

    It’s simple. Democratic states should gerrymander Republicans out of existence until gerrymandering is made illegal nation wide.

    bro thank fuck. there was so much money from MAGATs poured into this, so much misinformation, and like zero fight back “sign wise” for vote yes.

    I really thought the Dems dropped the ball here. Still WAY too close but again, thank fuck.

  4. The GOP years ago just should’ve agreed to the national gerrymandering ban. But since they didn’t here we are.

  5. Good. Fuck the GOP, they want to cheat? Then we need to show them that consequences exist.

    Republicans sowing: “FUCK YEAH 🤘🤘🤘”

    Republicans reaping: “WAIT NO NOT LIKE THAT”

    And now DeSantis will move forward with an even more extreme map in FL to balance this out.

    But still, it had to be done.

  8. I understand why people might have mixed feelings. I’m not a fan of gerrymandering, but I think any nonviolent method that stops Trump and escalation is warranted. ICE crossed the line. Doing necessary partisan politics now prevents worse necessities later.

  9. F around and find out. I’m so glad Democrats are finally fighting back with the same tactics the Republicans use.

    Extremely happy with Spanberger and the entire roster of statewide Dems who said “fuck this shit, we’re going to fight back, give it to the people to decide, and make sure Dems have the best chance possible to retake the House in the fall.”

    Go high when they go low, my ass.  Knee them in the fucking face.

  11. FAFO

    GOP had a chance to kill gerrymandering nationwide and didn’t

    GOP could kill gerrymandering nationwide tomorrow and won’t

    FAFO

  12. Well, if Florida is unable to generate more republican seats this could be the premature end to trumps “reign of terror”. After midterms he will likely be a lame duck and may even be impeached.

    I live in VA and seeing all the MAGAs here claim how evil gerrymandering is all of a sudden has been hilarious. One of them I have literally heard say before that gerrymandering is good because it “helps our side.” I remember that moment well because it was one of the formative moments that showed me how Republicans are truly without any principle whatsoever and that they couldn’t care less about what is right or fair. They are shameless ghouls and the only standards they have are double-standards.

    To any MAGAs reading this. You don’t like what’s being done in Virginia? Here’s an easy solution: A nationwide ban on gerrymandering, including your beloved Texas and Florida. Put your money where your mouth is. Prove, for once, that you are not the hypocritical cowards you have consistently shown you are.

  15. Virginian here who voted YES. Office talk in the morning will probably be a little spicy from people complaining 🤣

    I’m massively against gerrymandering and think it has set the US back decades on progress, but dems have no choice but to do this or GOP rule nationally will be permanent.
