    No, they’re not. In fact, they’ve largely abandoned the gerrymandering push because it worked against them in Texas. (Not out of ethics or altruism, of course, but because it was working against them.)

    If anything, they’re bending over and taking it, though some are grift-maxxing before the clock runs out. This president and his cronies have managed to make themselves so historically unpopular that they can’t even project where they will have strength with enough accuracy to leverage all the different state majorities that they possess. They are getting legitimate Socialists elected. They have lost almost every election in 2025 and 2026, and most of those occurred in districts where Donald won by double digits in 2024. Going by the numbers he is even less popular than Jimmy Carter, and that takes effort because Carter is synonymous with ‘shitty president’.

    They thought they had a mandate to reboot the Gestapo, when in fact, they were elected on affordability and decided to turbo-charge price gouging and inflation.

    2026 is going to be a political bloodbath for the red team. The major downer here is that the blue team isn’t going to do anything meaningful to stop them or create positive change either.

      But what about the SAVE act?

      The presidents primary domestic legislature is set to rewrite the rules of voting, if passed.

      The way the law is currently written, your Real ID will not be sufficient to vote. You will need a passport to confirm your ID, which is something 50% of Americans do not have.

      Copium. This is May 3rd. Got a long way to go to November and pretending gerrymandering is the only way they intend to cheap is laughably naive

          Hey here’s an observable fact. The DNC is majority owned by AIPAC. Ghislaine Maxwell will be pardoned. The dark enlightenment douche’s plans are on track.

      There won’t be an elections. Very cute of you to think voting matters at this point. Republicans aren’t going anywhere.
