The last 3 ladies are exactly the reason we are here now.
It is important to remember that this occurred—above all, because the Israeli government continues to perpetrate genocide and ethnic cleansing in Gaza, the West Bank, and Lebanon, but also because centrists have dishonestly claimed that protests in solidarity with Gaza halted when Trump took office. They didn't.
As the genocide continues today, it is important to continue to pressure war profiteers directly rather than hoping that politicians will put an end to it for us. They won't.
CNN is now Fox with no beard.
Jingoist, sensationalized, and paid for promoting of an illegal, unsanctioned war. There is no more "news" coming out of America, only propaganda.
We are now essentially in a football game where one side has decided to grab facemasks, block people in the back and target their heads, while most of the players on the other side are still playing by the rules.
Obviously in that scenario, the second team would get slaughtered.
To use another analogy, Democrats have brought a sword to a gun fight.
Republicans, at Trump's direction, have now potentially gerrymandered away 15 Democrat House seats.
And what has the Democrat response been? Gavin Newsom recognized the danger, and California voters voted to eliminate 5 Republican seats there. Virginia followed suit with 4 more, but with Virginia's map being struck down by their Supreme Court, Republicans are far in the lead now.
Democrats need to understand the Republican party is a fully fascist party now. It doesn't care about the Constitution, democracy, human rights or any ethical or moral principles whatsoever.
In the South, Republicans are eliminating predominantly Black voting districts. Their racism is on full display, and they don't care.
Democrats cannot counter an enemy like this by playing by the rules. Sometimes in war you have to do things that are distasteful and repugnant, but the only other choice is to let the fascists win.
Once we reach a point where Democrats have full control of the House, the Senate, and the Presidency again, they can do what they attempted to do several years ago--ban gerrymandering nationwide.
However, for now, to prevent the fascist takeover of America, Democrats must be willing to beat Trump at his own dirty little game, and redraw district boundaries in as many Democrat-led states as possible.
