Democrats: the South is becoming a Confederacy again.
The North:
Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, and Vermont.
All states without any Republican House of Representatives. 21 seats.
I don’t want to hear a word from the Democrats about redistricting in the South.
English
Dems: ‘We must defend democracy!’
Also Dems: ‘We really gotta draw these maps so that Republicans can’t get any seats in congress.’

Dear Democrats whining about Democracy: please explain to America how, out of 21 Congressional seats representing the 6 New England states, there are ZERO Republican Representatives, even though 40% of the electorate are registered Republicans, 48% in New Hampshire alone?
English
Republicans are gerrymandering congressional districts for political purposes!

Have the democrats set the bar for hypocrisy?

Kamala won Massachusetts by 25 points
Trump won Tennessee by 30 points
Tennessee is more red than Massachusetts is blue
Yet Republicans have ZERO representation in MA while Democrats get a seat in TN.
How is this fair?
After the SC ruling yesterday, @GovBillLee should redraw the maps immediately.
Let’s go!

It's inconceivable that any political party that prides itself on being sophisticated and razor sharp would unleash a gerrymandering arms race against their opponents after losing 31 states to them in the 2024 election. But they did.

You can easily draw an 8-0 congressional map in Missouri where every district voted for Trump by at least 12 points. Republicans don't have to just settle for dismantling the Kansas City district. They can destroy the St. Louis one as well. With Callais no longer ensuring that Democrats get free Congressional seats based on race, there's no reason to keep this district intact any longer. All 8 of these districts have swung right since 2012, so there's very little risk of this turning into a dummymander.

@Lancegooden And yet somehow the Republicans will manage to split black voters in the South to ensure they never pick a single representative again 🤔 but I'm sure that's just a coincidence!
English
1. Drawing voting districts based on race
2. Requiring voter ID
Contrary to what Democrats say, the first is actually racist.
English
@RealKeriSmith Yes because the southern states have such a great track record of listening to and providing for their black constituents OH WAIT A MINUTE

Today the Supreme Court ruled that racial discrimination in creating voting districts is indeed racial discrimination and you can't do it anymore. Leftists are outraged that they can't be racist when drawing their districts.
I'll put it another way, since I know they won't read the SCOTUS decision or the Voting Rights Act, before getting their undies in a wad and spouting the racist opinion they've been programmed to repeat. The SCOTUS decision said that using race to draw your districts, like Louisiana did when they said, 'Hey! We need another majority-black district!' is just as racist as if they had said, 'Hey! We need a another majority white district!' and you can't do it anymore.
If you disagree with this ruling, please either be logically consistent by equally defending a state's choosing to create majority-white districts (or majority-black districts, or majority-asian districts, or majority-latino districts) OR explain why we should be racist (treat races differently) in the way we draw districts, allowing them to be drawn with certain races in mind but not others. Explain why we should be looking at race AT ALL when it comes to drawing districts. I know what the Woke Left AND the Woke Right argument is for why we should be racists, but I'd like to hear someone make it and defend it in 2026.
SCOTUS Wire@scotus_wire
🚨 In a 6-3 vote, the Supreme Court strikes down Louisiana's new congressional map that added a second majority-black district, holding that it constitutes a racial gerrymander. The Court narrows its previous interpretation of the Voting Rights Act.

@n_dogsled @ChristianHeiens Don't you dare take Ms Rachel in vain

Between drawing DEI districts in Red states to counting illegals in the Census, you’re about to learn between now and 2032 just how much Democrats relied on rigging the rules in their favor to hold on to power.
English
@RamyarAlizadeh1 @ChristianHeiens Ahuh. Keep telling yourself Republicans won't gerrymander every Black voter to not pick a single rep in the South. Sure.
English
@ModestCricket @ChristianHeiens What’s black vote? People are individuals with their own views. Not everything is about skin color. Don’t be so racist.
English
@waltonite0 @ChristianHeiens And now Republicans get to do it. Equality at its finest
English
@ModestCricket @ChristianHeiens You should be thrilled the Voter Rights Act is repealed. Its origination is rooted in racism, with Democrats specifically drawing districts by race.
English
@MidnightMess777 Because White people spent a hundred years gerrymandering Black people to never have representation and had to be forced to do so at gun point. Now they get to do it again and you're completely cool with that
English
@ModestCricket “We need segregated congressional maps to represent black people.”
That’s an interesting an argument to say the least.
English
@Pro__Trading Not a single one of the states about to remove black votes actually voted for Obama ya know
English
10 years ago, we had a black president who won the popular vote.
Don't tell me in 2026 we need racially gerrymandered districts.
That's a political ploy by the Democrats to retain power unfairly.
English
@TheTonus So now Republicans get to remove all Black representation. Equality at it's finest 🥲
English
I'd say it's wild watching Democrats crash out over losing the right to racially segregate... but this is actually pretty typical behavior from them.
English
@tatereeves Yes the states ranked 49th and 50th in Literally Everything We Can Possibly Measure are sure helpful
English
First Dobbs.
Now Callais.
Just Mississippi and Louisiana down here saving our country!
English
@sunnyright "we're going to remove all Black representation from the South (again!) - why are you so upset about that??"
I dunno man take a fuckin guess
