So California has Gerymandered all Republican districts out of existance... and has called a special election for November to fill seats in the new districts. Which will tip the House into Democrat hands in as little as three months.

Methinks it's time to find about 10 corrupt democrats in Red States and jail them... and have their seats filled by gubernatorial appointment. Also have Ethics Committee remove about 10 more for violations of stock trading and leaking documents and other crimes.

They want to go Banana Republic... let's go Banana Republic!

Time for so much more!
 
Weren't they bitching about Texas redrawing some districts? So they bitched about it in Texas, and then did it themselves? Don't know why i'm typing this like i'm surprised. The hypocrisy of democrats doesn't surprise me anymore. I just wish a lot more of them would get aggressive terminal cases of cancer, or self delete at record numbers. Maybe we should start a new trend on tiktok, called the room temperature challenge.

I say, Fight fire with *more* fire! If they want to Gerrymander the Blue States, we can Gerrymander the Red ones! Go Texas! I'd love to see what FL would look like. In fact, I think FL did redistrict (not sure if it was a Gerrymander or not) a couple of years ago. I was in District 12 with Gus Billirakis. Now, I'm in Dist. 15 with Laurell Lee (RINO). I want to be back in Billirakis' district.

California only has 9 red districts left to steal. Texas can flip more than that alone if they feel like it.

Most New England states haven't elected a republican to congress since the Civil War. You've missed the crime for 150 years.

Welcome to the party.
Um, the Republican Party is- famously- the party of Lincoln. The D=Communist and R=Communust light is a rather recent trend. As an example, New England split 3-2 in favor of Bush in ‘88, and had a pretty solid R voting record in presidential elections up to that point. Clinton in ‘92 was where NE went D.

The Democratic party was the party of the south into the 80s. I remember my dad taking about all of the politicians switching from D to R so they could get re-elected. This was late 80s.

And this has what to do with gerrymandering congressional districts? A term literally named for the DEMOCRAT who created the process.

A Republican can win a state wide or national election because the majority of people support them. Winning a seat in congress is a different story.
 
Any bets on how many times Trump will be impeached if the Dems take back the House after the midterms?
I’d bet everything I own that it would be the FIRST order of business after the new reps are seated. If the Trump administration has any major initiatives remaining that require congressional approval, they need to have a max sense of urgency to get them through.

CT had a R majority in Congress as late as 2006.
NH was solid red from 1996 to 2006 and in 2010.
ME was pretty solid red until the 80s.
MA has been reliably D since the 20s, but was pretty solid R prior to that.
VT was reliably R until 1992.

My point is that your statement “Most New England states haven't elected a republican to congress since the Civil War” is factually false.

That said, the attributes that we associate with those parties have shifted over time. In the 1800s, the Rs were the party of a strong federal govt and the Ds were the party of “states rights.” Today, that has almost flipped, where now the Ds are basically Soviet Communists and the Rs are kind of a slower and less effective version of the same.

What did Reagan say? “I didn’t leave the Democratic Party. They left me.” (Paraphrased) Elon Musk said something very similar recently. And, I’d wager that everyone has had similar sentiments about their favorite color.

And, Elbridge Gerry was a Jeffersonian Republican…

Yeah, not a republican by any stretch of the imagination. His political beliefs became the democrats.

Now, tell us how your party founded the KKK and fought tooth and nail to save segregation, lynched thousands of black Americans and started a war to protect your slaves from Abraham Lincoln and those evil republicans.

I always like the next part.

Didn't the Repubs and Dems basically swap labels in the 1800s?

When I was a nerdy kid in my 20s looking at national party stuff, I noticed Southern Democrats were sometimes more conservative than some northern Republicans. And it depended on what issues you thought important for the division conserv vs lib.

It also seemed like the creation of the Fed caused a shift in both parties' attitudes toward their supposed constituencies.

Don’t confuse him with nuance. He only sees the label.

Unsure what the over/under is, but I would lay some coin on—Once, because the Senate will vote for it, also, to install the guy who wears mascara and questioned his homosexual tendencies as POTUS.
 
Jefferson was not a "democrat" he was literally a republican. Not a Lincoln Republican, but today's GOP are not Lincoln Republicans either. Modern demo-socialists try to claim Jefferson to give themselves credibility, but they would have repulsed Jefferson.

Andrew Jackson was the founder of the Democrat party. He too would be repulsed by the modern demo-socialists.


Jeffersonian Republicanism was a political ideology developed by Thomas Jefferson and James Madison in the early 1790s. It emphasized agrarianism, limited government, individual liberty, and states' rights. They opposed a strong central government, favoring a more decentralized system with power primarily residing with the states. This ideology was a direct response to the Federalist Party, which advocated for a stronger national government and a more centralized economic system.

The term "democratic-republican" is a modern invented term used by historians. it was not the name of Jefferson's Republican party at the time.
