trump openly calls on states to gerrymander new republican districts to bolster his slim House majority.

[Independent thinker]

Is this the first tie a US president has openly called for a state to gerrymander itself into a better majority?

He's not even pretending not to rig elections anymore. He just comes out and says it.

and here is the proof

I don't think anyone is denying that gerrymandering is going on, but
it's from both sides of the isle.

When asked about the same thing happening in California, he commented about corruption! Does MAGA get it? This is the Epstein flip-flop all over again.

This is a redraw to correct the previous gerrymandering by DemoKKKrats.

Before calling someone a Dim Wit...

One should understand that gerrymandering by a legislative body to consolidate and remain in power is not illegal. It's still gerrymandering even though it's legal.

Unsavory? Yes.

Undemocratic? Yes.

Done by both parties? Yes.

Illegal when done simply to remain in power? No.

This is trump's POT, cheating is to be expected. Plus, there's more at stake than the agenda. Though the Rapist-in-Chief hasn't relied much on legislation to advance it. There's the dozens of investigations in to various forms of malfeasance by the regime a Dem House majority may want to pursue.

Massive Popular Vote Landslide

A Landslide Election or Not?

Early election coverage described Trump’s victory as a landslide. But whether you go by the Electoral College vote or the popular vote, it was anything but. The 312 Electoral College votes that Trump won are just six more than Joe Biden won in 2020, twenty less than Barack Obama won in 2012, and fifty-three less than Obama won in 2008. Trump’s Electoral College performance pales in comparison to Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s landslide victory in 1936 (523 electoral votes), Lyndon Johnson’s in 1964 (486), Richard Nixon’s in 1972 (520), or Ronald Reagan’s in 1984 (525). In terms of the popular vote, more people voted for someone not named Trump for president than voted for Trump in 2024, and his margin of victory over Harris was 1.5 percentage points. That is the fifth smallest margin of victory in the thirty-two presidential races held since 1900.

It's reality, something your side ignores on a daily basis.

A good American always uses the tools at hand to strike at the heart of an enemy of the Republic.

You have to respect Southern Gerrymandering.
