Here's the Tweet That Highlights Why Dems Are So Angry About the VA Map Getting Torched

By 2030, the Democratic Party could become politically irrelevant. It could remain in the wilderness for a long time as their base, unhinged, illiberal, and exclusionary, alienates voters even more. It will be an urban-based and coastal party, which isn’t enough to win nationally. The census is adding electoral votes to red states. Blue states are losing votes and House districts. The vaunted blue wall—Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, and Michigan—might be non-factors in the race for 270 electoral votes.
This is the window to get this done, which is why, when Virginia’s 10-1 map for Democrats was tossed over procedural violations within the state constitution when pitching this to voters, liberals had a meltdown.
Blue states have already been gerrymandered to death, but there are apparently more opportunities, although obstacles lie ahead for Democrats who wish to fight fire with fire. Still, they can’t win this war. And after Democrats blew $70 million in the failed redistricting push in Virginia, the appetite for this on the Left might evaporate. There are two tweets that perfectly capture the situation.
First, from Christian Heiens:

But the Democratic Party’s panic as of late has been entertaining to watch.
