We hate 50%+1 = 100% then we love it.

Hey 20% X group must mean gerrymander so that 20% of reps "look like" that group." To 'mander' to not gerrymander for race deprives people of power--and that's evil.

As soon as non-gerrymandering it threatens power, eff that sh*t. If it helps us, it's wonderful--and if not, it's an abuse of Our Democracy.

Gloves off, blinders gone. All that's left ... "district boundaries help us, oh, I love it!." Why-ever. Districting hurt us, down with fascism writ whatever, because if it's not for us it's for some hitler!"

I'm done with this topic.
