If I were the other side, and less han pleased at the Texas actions......
one of the things I'd do is stop trying to help the other side keep winning elections with my he/him, they them, "garcia!" shit and my "baaaaa why do they hate us" after 9-11 shit.
If I were Democrats how I'd fight it?
IF and when Republicans come to me for a "compromise" which includes EXTENSION of Affordable Care Act subsidies - i'd tell them to get into the backseat of the car with their mothers, and discuss the first thing that comes up.
I'd tell them to campaign on the Big Beautiful Bill, and how it's all theirs.
And every single American who gets that surprise in 2026 - in Red and Swing States...... i'd market to THEM on THIS issue - not chicks with dicks.
And i'd easily win.
Easily.
We Greeked you over a few bucks in egg prices. Do you think you can work with $100'S A MONTH shoved in people's asses in swing states? Ok, let me illustrate:
Gop: Ok, we're ready to extend ACA money.
Dems: NO. You hate ObamaCare. Gut it. We're in the minority. We lost.
Gop: C'mon. We dont want to lose our election and go back to our trailer park life with our crucifix wearing wife banging tyrone the gardener.
Dems: You wanna extend? Fine. Extend it. We get Sotomayor's seat then. No? We'll see you in November.
This ONLY works----if Sheeple and Club 401K get out of the way, and let a Clinton style Democratic platform take hold.

You have to laugh. The democrats invented the creative redistricting to keep more dems in House seats they shouldn't be in. Some of the congressional district maps in Texas are insane.
What I love the most about this 2nd go-round with Trump is that he's systematically taking aim at every. single. BS. structural advantage they have.
Woke academia violating civil rights on campus and forming thought bubbles? Say goodbye to your funding, fellas!
lib Swamp types applying for positions in the government to keep up their grift? Blocked! (That was today's great news out of West Point)
BS regulatory findings that overreach and allow the left to strangle the country? Gone-zo!
Embedded Deep State folks actively resisting the will of Republican administrations? You're fired!
The left's taxpayer funded money spigots? Plumbers called to shut those off, baby!
They've been rigging the rules in their favor for years then slyly telling us how popular they are when they win. They wink and nod at all their structural advantages and give us their sh1t-eating grins the entire time.
Say goodnight and goodbye to all that! They're not going to just be able to stack the deck and get away with it any more.
Oh, yeah! Great times ahead!

You have to laugh. The democrats invented the creative redistricting to keep more dems in House seats they shouldn't be in. Some of the congressional district maps in Texas are insane.Here is a map of states and how effectively they represent voters. The vast majority of states with skewed representation (the politicians choose the voters, not the voters choosing the politicians), are deep red states.
https://gerrymander.princeton.edu/Here’s another map showing the 11 worst gerrymandered states in 2025. 10 of the states are Republicans. 1 is Democrat.
https://worldpopulationreview.com/state-rankings/m...It’s time the Democrats started gerrymandering states like CA and NY. It’s time both parties played by the same rules.

Nope, dope. Gerrymandering was named after Governor Elbridge Gerry, who signed a bill in 1812 creating a district that looked like a salamander that favored a Democratic Republican Party in the Senate, thus Gerrymander.

Hahahahahahahaha! You're forgetting something in your "analysis".
Anyway.
Rules? You people play Calvinball, where you get to make up the rules as you go along.
No more of that. We - the Normies - are done with the cray-cray that is the democrat party hating on and piledriving the US into the mud.
Now it's our turn.

Who is "we"?
The southern states look like they do because of the Voting Rights Act of 1964. It's a convenient bit of history the libs forget/remember when they think they're about to make a point.
They "forget" it when they whine about somebody like Texas proposing changes.
The "remember" when they want to accuse all southern states of raaaacism.
In other words, it's more liberal Calvinball. They can't play any other game.
At any rate - there's a pending challenge to the VRA's maps in front of the Supreme Court. Since we don't do blood libel in this country, it doesn't look good for them.

Well, to be frank, now that it’s your turn to hate and pile drive the US into the mud, you guys are doing a much better job of it.

By the by. Expect the libs to build up a big expectation among themselves that they can magically remove all the GOP seats from a few blue states. The problem is...their states are already gerrymandered to some extent.

Time to right the ship.
We've got a lot of hate to laugh at (you people are endlessly entertaining, by the way) and need a pretty big crane, but it will get done.

That is the only demographic Trump actually won...
Trump lost college educated women 61% to 37%.
Trump lost non college educated women 53% to 45%.
Trump lost college educated men 49% to 48%.
Trump won non college educated men 61% to 37%. (MAGA)
Throughout history, tyrants have understood that their major enemy is an educated citizenry.
Slaveholders prohibited the enslaved from learning to read. Nazis burned books. Trump, Putin and Xi attack Universities, censor books and silence the free press.
Ignorance is the handmaiden of tyranny.

Is “the mud” a reference to black and brown people? Old fashioned racism hasn’t had it this good since the 1950s. MAGA! MAGA! MAGA!
