You know, I hate that they did this, but I hope it backfires completely. When gerrymandering, one unintended consequence is, when you dilute an area to add more seats in democratic areas, you make the “safe” areas more competitive sometimes. So, I’d love to see it have no effect on seats, or they actually lose seats.
I’m still not convinced the average American knows what’s going on. I’m talking specifically the people who only get their news from their uncle on FB, or from Fox News at the laundromat.

They don’t. And they won’t until it’s at their doorstep and it’ll be way, way too late by then.
Americans are ignorant and disengaged and the chickens are about to come home to roost. We’re in for a very, very difficult lesson.
