Until five square miles of VA is returned to DC. BTW, it still isn't a done deal in VA or is the fix in there like it was in 2020?

The Democrats have been gerrymandering for over 100 years
Dems started it decades ago. It’s even named after a Democrat.
Just look at the New England area. No Republican seats at all.

Democrats started gerrymandering over 200 years ago.

It is leading but all of the votes are not in. Last I saw, five minutes ago, 94%. I have no doubt it will pass--democrat state. Democrats have always been the party that disenfranchises voters. Despite Robt. Byrd's record attempt to filibuster the Voting Rights Act of 1965, it passed. It outlawed poll taxes--another democrat program. So now they are gerrymandering.
Poll taxes were primarily implemented by Southern Democrats in the late 19th and early 20th centuries as a means to disenfranchise African American voters and maintain white supremacy during the Jim Crow era.

Democracy was already weak. Now it's going to destroy the US.

Right, The "Democrats have always been the party that disenfranchises" and yet it was Republican Texas that started this, it's the Republican Supreme Court that allowed this, and it's the Republicans trying to get the SAVE Act, not because they want Democracy, but because they want to disenfranchise.

TX just did what democrats have done for years and years and year. I lived in CA for a long time and if you want to see gerrymandering, just look at their map---over the past 50 years that I know of---probably longer. Democrats gave you poll taxes and when they lost that, they started gerrymandering. Democrat is just another name for a lying, thieving POS.
Here's what these ******* hypocrites have done:

The nation won today.
To drive by mile after mile of highway and see the bodies pile up is pure gold in a nation that deserves it. The stench of the corpse's decomposition spreading for many miles on each side of the road. Foreigners are more intune to this than Americans. People experiencing this with their families presently or in the past have felt the pain. We are becoming a dictatorship pushed on us from traitors not from mass poverty, but from more comforts than any nation in history has had. We may be impoverished when it gets here or not. The voters who help this along will know what they did after a while of the realization of someone who will kill them for not following orders. Slow death is always laughable to those who help to bring it on and dare others to stop it. The laughter stops when the reality hits. A rich nation with little government can withstand this even if it suffers somewhat. A high tax social program and welfare state cannot.

No democracy there. Doesn't seem to be much democracy left in the US at all.
"But we have guns, that'll save us"... nope, not if you're being stupid.
