What you're seeing now is just the muscle spasms.

wait that was last year, i think this new one is worse https://www.politico.com/news/2021/11/18/ohio-gerrymandering-redistricting-republicans-522922 quote:The goal of the amendment was to encourage lawmakers in both parties to work together in redistricting and produce maps that reflect the state’s political orientation. But the GOP, which controls every lever of state government in Ohio, is instead moving at break-neck speed on congressional lines that could favor the party in 13 of its 15 districts.

Even when they have the presidency, the senate, and the house, they do fuckall with them. Obama's first term had a drat near 60/40 majority in the house and senate and what came of it? the loving horseshit aca lmao. Whether they win or lose they don't matter. (they're going to lose though)

Centrist Committee posted:I can’t even imagine the liberal psychosis that is coming in 2022 but I know it’s going to be hilarious It's a good thing. The best chance to radicalize libs to the left comes from their party being locked out of power, because that's the only way to get them to see the entire American system as the problem and not just those mean ol Republicans

I don’t even recognize the Iowa I live in now compared to a decade ago. Yeah it's pretty eye-opening to look at how these states have transformed in the last 20 years. From 2000 to 2020, this is the change in presidential election results in Midwestern states: Minnesota: +5 Democratic Iowa: +7 Republican Wisconsin: no change Illinois: +5 Democratic Missouri: +14 Republican Indiana: +1 Republican Michigan: +2 Republican Ohio: +5 Republican With few exceptions, the entire region is getting more reactionary as it gets whiter and older than the national average, and as the reactionaries trash their states everybody who isn't them gets the gently caress out as fast as they can, which accelerates the shift and the death spiral
