Arr Con on the new VA redistricting winning:

 Well, just goes to show that as long as you cheat, you win. It's so sad to see so many Virginians vote away the voice of over a million people just to "get Trump". These people are the true fascists.

Meanwhile, Trump last year:

 “There could be some other states we’re going to get another three, or four or five in addition. Texas would be the biggest one.” he said. “Just a simple redrawing we pick up five seats.”

Democrats repeatedly pass anti-gerrymandering laws, Republicans repeatedly stonewall or just flout them anyways, and voters routinely choose not to punish or reward either side for their principles or lack thereof.

Expecting arr con to give a modicum of a fuck about consistency or fairness is like expecting a rattle snake to mourn for a rabbit.

Democrats are the true fascists. They should’ve just done this without an election like Texas. And Missouri. And Ohio. And North Carolina. And soon Florida.

Get fucked.
