Republicans wimp out on state gerrymandering as leftists power forward
By Monica Showalter
Now that much of the country has fled from blue to red states, will Democrats finally wither away as a political force, their influence diminished as a result of their own failed socialist policies?
Not in the least.
Since they can't sell their discredited ideas, they've rediscovered gerrymandering, which in California's case, is now extreme gerrymandering with the passage of Proposition 50. It's creepy indeed that it's paying off for them. One poll shows California's chief gerrymanderer, Gov. Gavin Newsom, ahead of Vice President Vance as a result of all the California rigging.
Now the leftist freaks and weirdos of Sacramento are resting easy that Congress will be stocked with all Democrats of their choosing now, and too bad about the voters. The 45% of California voters still in state who are Republicans will now have virtually no representation at all. And that's how Newsom and his Democrats like it.
It's a very bad tyranny-of-the-majority trend, and what's more, Newsom has taken his show on the road, encouraging the few blue states which haven't already done this to gerrymander themselves a permanent entrenching, too.
Bad as it is, it can be checked by Republicans in red states who fight fire with fire, gerrymandering their own states. I don't like it, but I like the alternative of doing nothing even less.
