The mainstream media is way too silent on Trump‘s enablers, his staff that is cooking up all these weird and radical schemes. For Pete’s sake, Trump doesn’t even know what he might be doing, let alone how to execute these absurd authoritarian ploys. EXPOSE THEM. Some are soluble in sunlight. :-)

Expecting Democrats to remain neutral and be the voice of democratic balance while Republicans are openly bragging about blowing up congressional maps with shameless gerrymandering is pretty damn absurd. If the GOP wants this fight, we should be ruthless in finishing it.

It is time that Democrats not only match what Republicans are doing with gerrymandering, but exceed it. Every Democratic controlled state needs to be looking to redrawing their maps -- not to gain 5 seats like in TX, but cumulatively 15, 20 or 30 seats. We must use every tool available.
