This is the way. Turn about is fair play.

Exactly. This is merely Conservative states finally playing by the same rules the Dims have played for decades.

This is foolish. Conservative ran and Democrat ran states have been choosing their voters since the two were the dominant party system. Nothing new is happening, only an acceleration of how far GOP states think they can push it with a 6-3 court.

I'd have thought that conservative ideas would be so popular that they'd win on their own merits rather than have to gerrymander the states to make it so.

Dems will do the same shite in a tit-for-tat where they can but I think the GOP is really worried about getting wiped out by the growing unpopularity with the immigration response and trade war. So they're trying to press the advantages they have in states where they can redraw districts in a partisan manner.

It's not "Turn about is fair play," though. The Democrats were drawing up some insanely crazy districts just to get some Democrats, mostly minorities, elected.
Really what we're seeing now is the reversal of that insanity.

What’s sad about this is the Missouri voters passed an Amendment that said legislators couldn’t draw maps that it had to be done by a nonpartisan group. It doesn’t matter what the people want.
Missouri voters tried to keep politics out of drawing the congressional district map, but the legislature made it all about politics.
It’s already a map that favors republicans, but if taken to court and it is decided a nonpartisan group should make the map the republicans could lose a seat.

When you look at the US map by county in the POTUS election you will see that they (conservative ideas) are. After all, a national map is just that no gerrymandering to be found.

Every single person I've talked to has been positive about booting the illegal aliens out and us finally standing up for ourselves in trade. Of course the people I know have a iq above 70 so you may be getting different responses.

I really don't talk politics with too many people in public. However, I do look at polling and have common sense:
People like the idea of getting the immigrants out but not as many like aggressive policing and what can appear to be quasi-occupations of cities. Sure, the GOP hardcore base loves it but that's like 25-35% of the electorate. Moderates get squeamish and liberals outright dislike it.
Trump got elected (essentially) by promising to rollback the economy to 2017-2019. It doesn't matter what the long game is with tariffs and trade war, the average person is going to see things getting more expensive and hiring drying up along the horizon that gets us to next November.
As for 70 IQ voters:

Should just fubar 900k jobs like the Biden admin did.
Just roll that shite back after the midterms. Oops.

Well Biden's admin tried to sell everyone on the great Biden economy and nobody bought it at the ground level. The numbers are real and bad now, that doesn't help the GOP any. They need actual good hiring numbers that are reflected at the level where it matters not on charts.

All I’ve heard all day around these parts…
The irony of course being, is that the existing districts had been completely gerrymandered in the first place to appease KC & STL. Democrats.
The good Rev. Emmanuel Clever be big mad in KC & the lame duck KC mayor Quinton Lucas is down right fit to be tied, as he was expecting to slide right into the good reverends slot for perpetuity.

So, you're admitting Democratic Party ideas aren't very popular without a century of gerrymandering?

Politics will never be out of drawing congressional districts. Ohio, to my surprise, voted against an independent commission overwhelmingly, to have them draw districts instead of the legislature. When you read the legislation, there was no check and balance on independence. It was still political.

St. Louis is an independent city and not in a county it has a population of around 300,000 and St Louis County has a population of around 1 million. St Louis city is in 1 district and St Louis county is broken up into 2 congressional districts. District 2 has been really close the last 3 elections for republicans. 51%, 51.9%, and 54%.
If democrats take this to court and it is decided that a nonpartisan group make the map St. Louis and St Louis County will have the population to make up 2 congressional districts and that would cause the republicans to lose a seat instead of gaining a seat.
This could blow up in Republicans faces. There would be a lot of State Legislator maps be redrawn and republicans would lose a lot of state seats too.
Why this could happen in Missouri and not Texas or California is because of the Amendment that was passed by the Missouri voters that the state legislature has ignored.
