to obstruct progress like they do now in state and national legislative bodies.

They'll be a much smaller percentage of the electorate and their gerrymandering will be out of the window as there will be more POCs/dems to do the redistricting as the every-ten-year censuses will reflect the new demographic shifts.

In the 2014 election a million more people voted Democratic than repug but because of their 2010 census gerrymandering scam under the now disgraced Tom Delay still being in effect, they won more house and senate seats.

That won't hold up once the demographic shifts start being reflected in census results and dems control the redistricting.
