Well, the American experiment is pretty much over. Feudal lords get to pick their serfs now. Many MAGA dunces will rejoice over SC getting… one more Republican. Other states will completely bork their duty to the constitution and to their constituents for quick political power, further ensuring they can slavishly follow their corporate donors and just outright ignore We the People.
The death of democracy isn’t going to be good for any of us, no matter your politics. This is not at all what the founders envisioned for their fellow countrymen. It is, however, what the SCOTUS leash holders envisioned for themselves.
Instead of redistricting so state politicians can keep seats forever why not really serve the people of SC during last few days of legislative session and reduce or suspend the gas tax until the conflict in Iran really over? Then constituents would vote for you out of gratitude for what you actually have done rather than out of fear of what others might do.
Republicans aren’t racists, they say. The Democrats are Racists. So, within days of the SCOTUS decision gutting the Voting Rights Act, the same states that fought the Voting Rights Act, the States of Jim Crow, lynching, burning crosses, and poll taxes, the states that fought a war to keep their slaves, are rushing to restrict the voting power of black and minority citizens, and they are all run by Republicans.
