    I realize you might be trying to mock a common refrain from rightwing nutjobs but this isn’t really the place

    mock at all means, but do so with class and wit

        are you one of these fuckers who suggest that “red” states’ citizens deserve all that happens to them without realising how gerrymandered are the voting districts, and that the “red” states are not really red?

          No, that’s why I wrote “Texas” instead of “Texans” or “everyone in Texas” because I know that it’s not everyone’s choice and a lot of people there suffer from that bullshit. But the elected leadership and a significant part of its leadership are so dumb that they’re undeserving of any work put into the ridicule for them.

          As for gerrymandering: I have no clue while the US clings to that stupid voting system. But the problems with it are known for years, and I haven’t heard of any efforts to get rid of it
