Come on, everyone knows that the Republican strategy was to control as many state legislatures as possible at the 2000 and 2010 census to redraw districts to favor Republicans. This has been talked about for about 15 years. Don't act like this is a new idea you've never heard of.

What is hardly ever mentioned is that Republicans undid the gerrymandering of white southern Democrats that disenfranchised blacks. So while Repubs got an advantage, so did black democrats

Between 1971 and 2009, the percentage of African-American state legislators more than quadrupled, from 2 to 9 percent. But much of that growth came early. The share of African-American state legislators has increased by only a single percentage point since 1999

And the congressional black caucus would CEASE to exist were it not for gerrymandering demanded by the left.
What the left wants.........which is pure insanity......is to be allowed to draw black only districts...........and THEN...........split the others without regard to politics.
Well no fricking shite liberals like that stupidity.

Do you know hat makes that strategy work?
THE PEOPLE went to the polls and voted for republicans in state elections.
Believe it or not the democrats had the same strategy except the PEOPLE rejected them
Amazing isn't it!

I thought that was dimocratix strategy, too, until they frittered away all those seats by passing Obamacare against the wishes of the American people.

And the fricking democrats do exactly the same thing every chance they get
They just happened to jam through that piece of shite Obamacare so the lost several hundred seats in 2010
Guess they should have thought that through
They are imbeciles who would not be competitive without their media stranglehold
