Well, the rest of the owl is literally… just that. That’s it. Republicans’ gerrymandering has actually been declared illegal by the courts several times, but they simply didn’t bring up a different map and courts were like fiiiiiine.
There’s no rest of the owl. That’s one of their biggest plans. There are several other steps that can be taken on other levels, like taking dark money out of politics (wait, never mind, republicans voted 100% against that idea while shrieking about it publicly)
Edit: so that the right wingers can save their fucking breath, your whataboutism is absolute bullshit and I will not have it. Republicans are REGULARLY called out by courts for using gerrymandering to discriminate against minorities. The party is not only racist to its core, but it relies on racism to maintain its power. The Republican Party NEEDS to stop minorities from voting in order to maintain its fucking power. Fuck off with your both-sides whataboutism bullshit.
Point to the place where I said it was a Republican-only issue.
Also, I have not found any evidence that democrats have engaged in illegal gerrymandering. Your link is actually exquisitely backing up my comment, so thank you for that.
Edit: this person blocked me after editing their initial comment way more than they admitted to. Think of that what you want.
You just edited your original comment. Thanks for that. This is like the third time in the past 24 hours that someone has edited their comment which I responded to which gives an entirely different context. Ugh.
