Southern states are exercising their political and racist power to eliminate almost every predominantly black House of Representatives seat in their state. A completely out-of-touch SCOTUS has given them the green light to destroy our democracy.
It’s time that blacks and progressive whites take cue from Rosa Parks’ actions, which triggered a Montgomery bus boycott.
This time, the boycott needs to be state-wide and be laser focused.
The Walton family gives political donations to both parties, but the tilt is heavily in favor of Republicans. They are also very powerful.
I’m surprised that blacks and progressives haven’t thought about a state-wide (or even nation-wide) boycott of a store, like let’s say, Walmart, to exert their economic power to achieve a fair representation of their political power.
As for the SCOTUS textualists, perhaps they should remember that our Founding Fathers named the body the House of Representatives, not the House of Gerrymandering.

The fact that Old Dixie didn’t even wait for the body of the Voting Rights Act to grow cold before violating the (now dead) provisions of the Voting Rights Act, seems to suggest:
1. The USSC’s argument that the Voting Rights Act was no longer needed……… was bunkum.
2. Scratch a modern day MAGA Republican…. and underneath the flag pin on his lapel and red tie around his neck…… you can see the butternut gray and Stars and Bars of the old Southern Democrats who led the rebellion. All Republicans who still cast their lot with the Union are RINOS, and are now an endangered, almost extinct species.

Elbridge Gerry, who it is named after, was a founding father.
