It is interesting that GOP is so worried about losing the House they are willing to go nuclear on mid-decade gerrymandering but aren't willing to consider the alternative of maybe shifting away from policies that are deeply unpopular.

You might consider the possibility that they don’t care if anyone likes their policies—because they seem to only care about grabbing all of the power and maintaining power by any means.

Many State judges and Judges on US Supreme Court take oath to constitution and yet choose to be enemies of it. Gerrymandering, poll taxes are not constitutional because they deny people Republican Form of Government. State law enforcement have an obligation to arrest these judges.

Depends on their goal, of course. I'd say their goal is not to shift away from policies that are deeply unpopular but to create a one-party nation. Their idea (which, at the moment, seems plausible) is that Democrats won't fight fire with fire.

There’s a lot of money to be made implementing unpopular policies… You can blame the democrats and big government for the pain, while telling everyone on Faux News that you’re protecting their kids from transsexuals.

Not interesting at all. They are grabbing as much as fast as they can. It is strategic. We will never be free, or even enjoy this imitation freedom we fantasize that we have, again as a working class. Americans will become a slave work force for the rich in a decade -- even moreso than we are now.

They gave up on running on policies. They know their agenda isn't popular. The more they lose, the more they try to say Dems cheat or they actually rig things in their favor with extreme gerrymandering, voter suppression and actual voter intimidation. They stopped being a political party in 2010.

And if we win blue 2028 this time, the Republicans will try to burn down Washington DC and the entire country to prevent the next Democratic POTUS-elect from ever rebuilding the USA... They would be serious about turning our country into a lifeless burnt wasteland on J6 2029... Unless we fight back
