We Might Have a Shot at Annihilating the Dems Who Are Too Stupid to Know This Is a Bad Move

Republicans shouldn’t hold back. Democrats want a gerrymandering duel, and we should invite it. The GOP should fix bayonets and storm the keep, because liberals are escalating a war they cannot win. It’s not being cocky—it’s a fact. There is nothing left to gerrymander for Democrats. They’re so insulated from what’s really going on that we have Democratic governors saying they’d redraw their congressional districts, despite having no elected Republicans for over 30 years, as in the case of Massachusetts Gov. Maura Healey. I want to thank Texas Republicans for poking the bear on this one.

The Lone Star State redrew its maps, giving Republicans five more winnable seats. They’re majority Hispanic, and I love how the party is leaning into the inroads we’ve made with this voter bloc over the past eight years. National Democrats have yet to learn that Hispanic voters in Texas aren't monolithic, and they’re not keen on the party’s woke antics. This move led to California and the ever-present and insufferable Gavin Newsom saying he’d retaliate. Texas Democrats only returned to their state to pass this new map after they got guarantees from their colleagues in California that their new map push would be a serious venture. They fled to heavily gerrymandered Illinois to prevent a quorum for 15 days.  

Who cares? I’m sorry, but who cares? California was a deep blue bastion before, gerrymandered before, and the results, if passed by voters, would be significant. There’s a chance it could be shot down this November. In Maryland, Gov. Wes Moore floated new maps.  

Go ahead, please. All these states are blue cesspools and maxed out. Meanwhile, Republicans have multiple states to increase our foothold on the Hill, and we should maximize it since Democrats want war. They’re heading into this battle armed with bows and arrows, while we have nuclear ICBMs.

 I don’t care about precedent, partisanship, or institutional integrity. I want to win. They want a fight, so let’s give it to them. Gerrymandering isn’t new. It’s legal. And both sides do it. We’re being less bashful about it, and that’s fine. Gerrymander all the states that we can that are under our control.

Let’s nuke the Democrats from orbit, because I’m tired of acting like they have a winning hand in this game when we have a royal flush—time to go all-in and break them.
