plowing and pretreating in the DC area is notoriously poo poo and its not helped by the fact that at least four different DOTs are responsible for doing so across the DC metro area.

that being said its not really any worse or better this time so this seems much more like he wanted to be a racist on main.

MTG? I don't know about talent agencies but I do know that her district is extremely gerrymandered, to the point where it's basically completely impossible for a democrat to ever win. Its splits in past presidential elections have been around 75-25 or worse in the GOP's favor.

So she got into the House "for free" without having to really compete in a general election. Which makes sense because that level of insane qanon jewish-space-lasers brainworms would basically turn off every single swing/moderate voter in an actual non-gerrymandered district.

The thing is, relatively speaking, Georgia isn't really all that bad in terms of gerrymandering:



(MTG's is the purple one in the northwest corner.) There's definitely still gerrymandering in there, but it isn't anywhere near as visibly egregious as it once was, for example 2003-2006:



Besides, it was the Republicans in charge when the current map was drawn, and the point of gerrymandering isn't usually to give your own party overwhelming majorities in their districts. Generally the tactic is to do that for the other party, cramming as many of the opposition votes into as few districts as possible, then spreading out the rest among a larger number of districts where your party can outnumber them by small (but still comfortable) margins. Making landslide districts for your own team is just a waste of votes that could be put to use elsewhere.

So my take is that MTG's district isn't really gerrymandered, it's just naturally deep-red.

This however, is an issue, unrelated to Farlow, at least if you live in the or well if you're not an Israeli Jew. There is a definite hostility to the idea that Jews are a minority in the same way Asians, Blacks, and Latinos are. We're just white...which is annoying, cause honestly white people are far far on my radar more then any minority group. I should say I don't think this is a majority viewpoint, but a vocal segment of some.

She's coming from the UK perspective - there are a LOT of "left wing" types there who discovered their Jewishness immediately after the idea of calling Jeremy Corbyn "anti-Semitic" for being critical of Israel took off. Not religious at all, incredibly white, and using "anti-Semitism" to call the overwhelmingly non-white people to the left of them "the real racists" (and any Jewish people, including religious Jews, are accused of being "self-hating" if they dare suggest that Israel has done anything wrong)

She's part of a cohort that's buddied up to all manner of actually anti-Semitic figures in Europe because they support the government of Israel, it's almost explicitly a white nationalist position to take.

Oh man, the number of people who went off at me for pointing this out when Corbyn was still Labour leader.

We can disagree on whether Corbyn took antisemitism seriously enough, but don't get mad at me for not taking lectures on who is and isn't antisemitic from people who pal around with Viktor Orban.

yea you can maybe have a conversation about the ~whiteness of white Jews~ but it's super not going to come from Eve Fartlow who's become the patron saint of every UK 'I have generational trauma from my grandparents being alive during the holocaust (please don't ask me if they were anywhere where it happened) and even though I live my life completely agnostic of any Jewish heritage or culture Jeremy Corbyn is triggering me by wearing a tie'. She's a complete psycho who's big move after being called 'Fartlow' a bunch was to go 'wow, farts, as in gas, as in you're threatening to gas me for being a Jew??????' and instantly cozy up with some of the most insanely antisemitic europeans who happen to also be pro-zionism (because they want us all to gently caress off to Israel and die). She has no genuine interest in improving life for Jews or fighting genuine antisemitism.

I'm stuck living in MTG's district, and I can assure you, it's loving deep red. At one point there was a qanon billboard up along I-75, and there's one persistent one that reads "every voice shall proclaim "Jesus is Lord!" (Even the Democrats)" with a little devil next to the 'Democrats'.
