I still can’t understand the Democrats' outrage over Republicans' gerrymandering when they are avid students of the craft. And to have beaver-toothed and largely ineffective New York governor Kathy Hochul labelling it as “legal insurrection” and claiming “we are at war” while puffing out her chest, telling republicans to “bring it on” in a fit of bravado is just ridiculous. New York is the poster child for political gerrymandering, and even Politico, far from a conservative publication, ran the headline that she is “embracing” gerrymandering. So they just noticed? This is all political theater brought to you by the disingenuous actors on the left. Recall that Trump won 40% of the vote in California, Massachusetts, Illinois, and New York, yet the combined congressional seats slant 90 democrats to 27 republicans. For those on the left who are traditionally mathematically impaired, only 23% of the seats are Republican. How exactly do you think that happened? Blue states have been up to these shenanigans for decades, and it is only now that Republicans are catching on, making the Democrats' outrage less about the actual practice and more about the annoyance that their tactics have been discovered and co-opted by the right.
