In reply to the discussion: MAGA Erupts After 'Disgusting' Blow to Trump [View all]jimmy the one
(2,823 posts)58. We are COUNTER Gerrymandering, Counter Punching
We Dems did not start the Gerrymander Wars, trumpass did by coercing Texas.
We Dems are counter punching rather than being a punching bag for trumpass inter alios.
Repubs squealed with delight after Texas approved a five seat gerrymandering pickup, now they are squealing like stuck pigs about how unfair it all is that democrats are counter gerrymandering.
In other words, it's OK fine and dandy if republicans do it, but if democrats do it it's WRONG.
You know their version of Lincoln's quote: "Of the people, for the republicans, and by the republicans".
This will likely be decided in Virginia Supreme Court, hopefully not going further to US scotus.
