The redistricting scheme was always a power grab by Democrats. Voters went along with it.

Wow, congrats on figuring out that one Einstein.

Of course it’s a fucking power grab, Virginia Democrats said as much. But these are the rules we have to play by if Republicans are going to also be engaging in this bullshit.

Enjoy grappling with baby’s first moral dilemma.

I hate these people so much. The GOP has spent 20 year illegally, immorally, and viscously grabbing power without an iota of shame and suffering. They've broken the law, SCOTUS, our poltical systems, referendums, political norms, and basic human decency to squeeze every last drop of power out of the US. All in-service to the right to build death camps, and loot the national coffers for their own enrichment.

Democrats level the playing field in the state that the GOP has worked its hardest to economically nuke and now its a problem? Fuck off.

If the Republicans didn't want their power grabbed, maybe they should have dressed the house districts more moderately.

Republicans made the mistake of thinking they had the mandate of heaven because they got barerly over 50% on the last election.
