Reapportionment

[onejayhawk]

Running the country? Right now he's ignoring the country's decision to elect a new president. He's been ignoring the country for all his life, including the last 4 years. He only cares about himself. Trump is an idiot and a traitor. Those who follow him are fools or traitors as well. Probably both.

Is he ignoring the country's decision or does he have a legitimate case to pursue? You assume, but do not know.

Saying he has been ignoring the country all his life shows willful disregard of facts.

Citation needed.

COVID vaccine in less than a year, Mid East peace accords, recovering economy even with a natural disaster, energy independence, trade agreements, border control, deregulation, restocking the federal bench, tax reform, eliminating the individual mandate, FIRST STEP, record minority employment, increased trade, and so on. It's a long list.

I'm not sure incompetency counts as treason. At best he's a corrupt incompetent useful idiot.

Since Trump is neither corrupt nor incompetent and Biden is both, what's your point?

His Covid response implies incompetent.

Using his office to drive business to his properties is corrupt.

If the case was legitimate at least one of the filings so far would have any legs to stand on, but.. nope, all of them so far have been complete fabrications and outright lies.

I assume nothing, I educate myself, and there is zero evidence of any sort of election fraud so far (on behalf of the Democrats). You on the other hand have bought into the nonsense hook line and sinker and are basing your accusations on nothing but complete fabrications.

If there's evidence, where is it? Why has it not been put in front of a judge? Because there is no evidence. Your lies here will not convince anyone otherwise.

These are just more claims. These are not citations.

Interesting article from RCP.
Though the one state I consider myself fairly knowledgeable about (Michigan), I find their analysis questionable for. This does therefore slightly undermine the rest of the article for me. With Michigan districts now being decided by an independent commission, that will mean some of the more gerrymandered aspects likely get resolved. If the greater Grand Rapids urban area gets restored back into just one district, that would likely make the already competitive 3rd district a strong dem target. While if Pontiac is moved out of the 14th district, it will make whichever district it is moved into more competitive for the Dems, while the 14th would likely remain safe. I think the seat lost from Michigan is as likely to ultimately cost the GOP as it is to cost the Dems. For more info on Michigan, and gerrymandering in general see my post here:

Having said all that I think the Democrats are likely to lose House of Representatives in 2022. Biden's success in 2020 seems to have relied on an anti-Trump sentiment, and there was no corresponding surge at any of the other levels. Also midterms generally don't favor the incumbent party. I think 2022 may in fact be the inverse of 2018, with the Dems losing the house, but maybe making a gain or 2 in the senate. In the senate the GOP will have to defend 2 or 3 senate seats for states which voted Blue (Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, and maybe Georgia), as well as in states they only narrowly won in (North Carolina and Florida). The fact that the GOP incumbents in Pennsylvania and North Carolina are retiring makes those contests eve trickier for the GOP.

Biden and his team need to make resolving the gerrymandering issue a top priority. I believe the gerrymandering cases were rejected by the supreme court because they felt it was not for their branch of government to decide what constituted gerrymandering, and that it needed to be first clearly defined. If the GOP heavily gerrymander the maps when they are redrawn, it could make winning the house of representatives a nightmare for the Democrats.

The problem with talking with Trump supporters
You wont be able to deprogram them as they are immersed in a bubble of propaganda and decades of brain washing. Even if you provided citiation, facts, statistics to win an argument with them you will find that a few weeks later they will have already reverted back to original beliefs
