    RW culture uses "law and order" as a synonym for authoritarian repression. You're damned right we don't want that. Nobody does

    Lol. Yea, the RW is the ones that are "authoritarian" right now. You make me laugh. The RW aren't the ones shutting down free speech or telling you that you have to get a vaccine against your will or make your 3 yr old wear a mask all day. They aren't the ones putting parents in jail while allowing people to loot, or worse, without repercussion. There are plenty of things that the RW is doing wrong but being authoritarian isn't one of them at the moment.

    Texas is solid red and will remain so. Desperate lamestream media, unable to cope... denies this.

    Yes we know, progressives just copout and say that anything they don’t agree with is conspiracy . Maybe because you didn’t truly have to go through it lol.


    You are basing voting numbers off one system that doesn’t work like the other , if democrats were so confident they wouldn’t be trying to flood the country with illegal immigrants in order to use them as a voting farm.

    wow , what a great argument as you got all the prog key words in there and not supplying anything of substance .

    You think Joe Biden is stable ? Dude doesn’t even know what he is saying most of the time .

    Lying Narcissist? Dude that’s literally all politicians lol. You talking like we have had honesty in the last 20 years or something haha.

    Say what you want about Trumps acts in the beginning of covid , you ignore the fact that he was going by what Fauci said which was stating that covid wouldn’t be a big deal . Hell even Cuomo and the NYC health department came out stating it wasn’t anything to worry about lol. But yes talk about liars when not even you can be honest about the subject .

    Hell there wasn’t even a vaccine in trumps year of covid and there were less deaths under him than with Biden with a vaccine .

    Speaking of the vaccine which I’m sure you are one who demands everyone have it , remember it was Trump that got that thing on fast track to production and I remember quite clearly that Cuomo and Kamala stating they would not at all take that vaccine if trump was the one to roll it out , but suddenly when Biden is president they decide it’s politically convenient to now force everyone to take it lol . Hypocrites and opportunists all around .

    Remember how it was racist that Trump banned flights to and from China ? But suddenly banning flights from India was just perfectly fine under Biden ? Remember how CNN and MSNBC were calling covid the “China virus” or “Wuhan coronavirus” and it was all cool , but when Trump said it they suddenly state its racist to do so ?

    Sorry but your problem wasn’t Trump , it was your own hypocrisy brought on by those who force fed you with what to say and how to think.

    This country was just fine and 10000 times better under trump , but because the left is bigger cry babies than I ever thought was possible they needed to create false narratives and spread fear mongering everyday to try and discredit Trump .


    Now out of spite they destroyed the economy for political gain and don’t know how to fix it . Face it , we were better off with mean tweets .

    You may have been... who knows? I was fine financially either way, but stupid bullies with poor social policies (and skills) don't win long term....

    Generally, America was poorly run from 2017-2020.... just a fact, highlighted by the lame duck period at the end, when it was just pure sedition to try and overturn the election (his phrasing now)...

    All I see is you typing with no substance , the whole country economically was just fine . Oh no you got your feelings hurt by a big orange , cry me a river .

    We were on a trend to a better country , despite the false narratives and constant fear mongering and idiotic race baiting from the left to purposely try and destabilize a nation out of spite . Then came covid , the perfect opportunity to truly ruin a nation and bring it down to its knees for political gain .

    YOU might be fine then and now , but more people are much worse off now than under trump by far . There is nothing you can say to escape the fact that democrats have totally ruined what both Obama and Trump had accomplished for this country .

    And they did it over being butt hurt and sacrificed the common citizen for payback . It’s sad , we won’t recover with so called leaders like that in the White House .

    New York's Dem drawn maps are so bad that the Court stepped in. I prefer impartial maps, computer generated that divide the state population equally. using the fewest number of lines possible, but, that's not we have.

    [​IMG]
    The Miami Herald: "He cited Cooper v. Harris, a 2017 case in which the U.S. Supreme Court ruled 5-3 that the North Carolina General Assembly engaged in 'unconstitutional racial gerrymanders' by relying on race too heavily when it drew two congressional districts following the 2010 Census."

    We want Race Neutral maps. "The Democrats assume that black candidates cannot attract white votes. Of course, the election and re-election of Obama as president prove they" do.

    DeSantis expects a lawsuit. "You’re gonna have litigation either way. ... But I think the odds are higher that a map that is race neutral will be approved. And I think it’s more likely that one that did that kind of intentional drawing would be ruled to violate the 14th Amendment."

    "Time is of the essence. Florida has a June 17 deadline for filing for its August 23 primary."

    Texas used to be Blue, and the population is slowly getting Bluer (sorry, that is awkward, isn't it).

    But you could be right. Republicans there are desperately trying to rig the elections so they can't lose.

    "You don’t have to be an expert to see why Texas’ new maps for its state legislature and congress discriminate against minority voters. Ninety-five per cent of the state’s growth over the last decade has been driven by minorities. But the new maps Texas enacted don’t include a single new district where there is a Hispanic majority.

    It’s an astounding fact that underscores how powerfully Texas Republicans have wielded the control they have over the once-a-decade redistricting process.

    The boundaries of several of the congressional districts Donald Trump barely won in 2020 have become safe GOP seats. I wrote about one of those districts, the 22nd congressional district a few weeks ago. The new map transforms it from one Trump won by about 1 percentage point in 2020 to one he would have carried by 16 points.

    Texas has a long history of discriminating against minority voters in redistricting – courts have struck down districts in every redistricting cycle since the Voting Rights Act was enacted in 1965. For years a key provision of the act required Texas to get its maps pre-approved by the federal government before they went into effect. But the US supreme court gutted that provision in 2013. That means this year will be the first time since 1965 that Texas won’t have to get its maps pre-cleared before they go into effect."

    It's actually easier for DeSantis to violate the 14th Amendment and create majority Black Congressional Districts that gerrymander Democratic votes into a few districts, leaving the remainder GOP. That's what happened 30 years ago when the GW Bush (Sr) DoJ Civil Rights Division worked with civil rights groups to craft Black majority districts because Civil Rights groups wanted Black lawmakers.

    Ron II has too much integrity to do that. The Bushs were a massive disappointment.

    Well in the current year, "race neutral" is practically Klan talk.
