Nothing Scares Democrats More Than the Idea of Merit

The Supreme Court striking down Democrat racism in the drawing of Congressional districts set off a predictable wave of panic across the Left, as the concept of having to make a case to voters who aren’t simply blindly loyal to the party began to sink in. While Democrats will happily sterilize or mutilate any pre-teen going through puberty confusion, they absolutely refuse to have a conversation with an American who will not bow down to their left-wing agenda. Why? Because they can’t. There is no case to be made by the Left to normal people, so they refuse to and have created districts of the obedient to serve the party, as nothing scares the hell out of a Democrat more than having to compete for anything based on merit.
You see this with unions, where they fight tooth and nail to block or repeal right-to-work laws. They are terrified of people having the choice to join a union or not, they’d rather simply force them. If their product was so good – if the benefits of union membership were obvious, people would voluntarily flock to them. That they don’t tells you pretty much everything you know about it, doesn’t it?
The same goes for Congressional Districts – Democrats would rather pick their voters than try to convince them.
Maryland is a prime example. There used to be three Republicans in Maryland’s Congressional Delegation; now there is one. Democrats redrew the state in a way that made the map look like someone sneezed on a wet Rorschach test to eliminate two of the GOP seats and lamented they weren’t able to get the 3rd…yet.
This started in 2010 and continued in 2020, but Texas is somehow what “forced” Democrats to gerrymander Virginia? It’s almost like they’re lying, or something, isn’t it?
