Congressional Redistricting Taking Place Across the Country



The Groundwork of America's Destruction is being laid, and it must be stopped! We're not Russia. Or China. Or Zimbabwe. Lord knows our system is highly flawed, but the bottom line is that, ultimately, power in this country is built from the bottom up. I'm not saying we should turn our backs on DC, but power in Washington flows from state legislatures and governors: If you're a fiery young Democrat, I respectfully suggest that you focus your fight on your own state capital. After all, that's how the Republicans have weaseled their way into their unearned and undeserved veto power over the will of the people. Hit those legislatures and governor's mansions and the election campaigns that fill them.

And SCREW the Marquis of Queensbury Rules! Change those R's to D's by whatever means necessary. And then? PUSH EVERY LEVER OF POWER. Gerrymander the FUCK outta those districts! Reverse anachronistic idiocies that pass for "laws!" DESTROY THE BASTARDS WHO WOULD DESTROY OUR COUNTRY! NO PITY! NO QUARTER! CRUSH THEM LIKE THE VERMIN THEY ARE!!!

Even though I'm an old man, I hope I live long enough to witness the political demise of these traitors.
