The other side of the gerrymandering coin that rarely gets discussed is this: if you take from R+20 districts to create more R+10 districts, you run the risk of losing all of those districts in midterm despite the gerrymandering. I welcome republicans to try it. Based on the way things have gone with the Trump admin so far, coupled with Dems now having higher educated voters who turn out in higher numbers in midterms, it’s not hard to imagine that these gerrymandering efforts totally backfire on republicans. The same can’t be said of blue states who do the same thing, for the reasons above. The blue wave is coming, I’m not sure it makes sense to lower the floor for districts to be flooded by it.
Based on how bad our legislature and the national scene, Micheal may be correct. Several districts could change due to intelligence of our voters. Many are getting fed up with current upheaval.
Also not noted, who pays if legislators go to DC BOTH TRIP AND EXPENSES?? Then cost of special session. – what a waste of money.
They will bend the knee and do what Dear Leader tells them to do. You think they care about what Hoosiers think, or care if it costs us tax dollars?
Besides, it would be more surprising if they didn’t have districts already drawn that would safely make it 9-0.
Why was the blue wave at such a low ebb last November, Michael? James? What have the Democrats done to show they humbly accept the referendum that lost them every single swing state? Is it possible that, after what people saw and experienced from 2021-2024, they prefer the “current upheaval”?
Since Democrats are so much more intelligent, have they thought perhaps they should try using smaller words in conveying their deeply unpopular measure to the plebes? Maybe speaking in grunts and clicks and snorts through buck teeth?
As Hamilton County indeed becomes less GOP, mostly due to the TDS of old-school Republican elites (a situation shared by most big-city suburban counties where the favored winds blow), what does that say about the Democrat party’s commitment to “the common person”, let alone the “marginalized” that they profess to care about so much? Why WAS Kamala’s message so unpersuasive to people with household incomes below $85K? If the Democrats continue to spurn this demographic bloc (which consists of about 75% of the population), who will represent it? Clearly not the neocons. They have always been even worse, and, increasingly, are indistinguishable from the neolibs.
“Is it possible that, after what people saw and experienced from 2021-2024, they prefer the “current upheaval”?”
Sure, it’s possible. But riddle me this … if people are truly happy with the Trump administration, why does the Trump administration feel the need to command states to perform mid-cycle redistricting? Wouldn’t the “plebes” flock to re-elect the same people they sent to Congress, to show their approval? What do hey have to worry about?
Because they’re behaving as though … they aren’t as popular as they claim to be.
Republicans didn’t really win, Lauren. They cheated. It’s the only way they can “win”. They’ve made that abundantly clear. No legit way they won every swing state. Statistically impossible.
Hamilton County is a good example. Once a stalwart of Republicans it is now showing cracks with the infusion of Democrats and voters changing, tired of the one party system that has been in place since the 1950’s. Received a call from some group wanting me to waste my time to “encourage” redistricting. Told them to fly a kite.
John S have you checked out Russia or China? I bet you’d be right at home there
Lauren almost never engages directly with a point made. The point is that the Trump admin is unpopular and likely only to get more unpopular as tariffs begin to wreak havoc on prices. The scenes of masked police invading neighborhoods to break up law-abiding family units might be great as red meat for the MAGA base that is so lost in their own TDS they can’t see that the fabric of the social and economic fabric of the country is being ripped to shreds before their eyes, but it certainly is appalling to the vast majority of the country that still has a moral compass. So, those R+20 districts that turned out for Trump but get gerrymandered to R+10 might not be so safe for Republicans this midterm. The party in power never performs well in midterms, and the Biden administration did themselves no favors. But, this blue wave only has to be strong enough to break up Republican control in one chamber of congress, and that seems inevitable regardless of Republican desperation. Hopefully, Lauren can read this, as it would be a lot to convey with “grunts and clicks.” Why is it always republicans who bring up how unintelligent they are? “The lady doth protest too much, methinks.”
