My response? 🤮

If you live in California.

Hard.

District #1 switch to Illinois and add to Blue Illinois. Leave Misery to the ozarks and the bootheel.

Did you know Missouri invented the toothbrush? If it was banter anywhere else it would be called a teethbrush

This is fairer???

Exactly how does this map represent the 40% that voted for Kamala?

Well conservatives have started doing what the left has done so guys what’s good for the goose is good for the gander. Suck it up buttercup

"You'll never have to vote again". It's coming. They are going for enough seats for constitutional amendments.

Every one of them!

I hope they do, but Democrats seem incredibly reluctant to defend our democracy from the creeping destruction caused by the Republicans.

"I will be watching closely". He won't because his attention span is very short but it's a sinister line. Wake up, America, you're in a lot of trouble.

Sue the state.

Missouri GOP pols rn

I mean, this is just crazy!! I feel sorry for folks in MO.

Representational democracy is dead. So now what?

Time for blue states to gerrymander MAGA/GOP out of existence.

I used to live in Kansas City and voted for Cleaver every election except one when I voted for Jaime Metzel (D). KC is VERY progressive and blue. This is literally disenfranchise 100s of 1000s of people (KC metro is ~2.2m people). This is not fair. This is theft.

The five largest cities in Missouri consistently vote blue in local elections. This map is a fraud.

The literally divided neighborhoods.

This guy is really trying to spark a civil war. Release the Epstein Files. Redacted version.

Highlights the importance of governors, state legislature elections, and election boards in red states. Even if people are outnumbered, vote. And yes, blue states, level the playing field. If Republicans win majorities in Congress, there will be a bigger, uglier bill, and worse...

Wake up democrats you are involved in a war with treasonous self serving republicans

This is just reason number 2,485,395 never to move to Missouri especially Kansas City

We are so fucked.

The redder the more communistic?

The redder, the more hateful bigots

🤮

All blue states you’re up

Defund red state trash baby. Time for blue to fight dirty.

I couldn't agree more Mr. Takei

That's right, it's time to try to out cheat the cheaters but they've been practicing for hundreds of years so you got some catching up to do

The only way that Republicans win is, if they lie, cheater, steal.

His nephew:

Disenfranchising a very large part of the Missouri population.

What are we waiting for? And how is this legal

I hate living in MO. We are so backwards. Go, blue states. Save us.

Grin. I just moved my entire family of blue voters to a VERY red area of Missouri. Many blue voters are spreading out. It's not going to go the way the republicans think in the mids. This move in Mo just put some of their 'safe' seats in jeopardy.

Talking to your new neighbors about how MAGA is screwing their lives over...Be a great way to flip a seat or two.

Ideas are like viruses. All we gotta do is put a splinter in their minds.

2) Then I say, "I think that fucker lied to us to get our votes!"

I often make a VERY LOUD scene in the local Kroger, and I ask others if they feel great yet about their still high grocery bill. If they like paying $4.19 a gallon for milk. Then I ask if any of them are dairy farmers and how much THEY make per gallon? It beautiful!

Missouri farmers lost their soybean export to China, and can't do a thing with their crop (not even US Aid can help them) so they will probably lose their farms. And I heard the same thing happened to Arkansas to the south.

Rumpy also decided to buy soybeans from Russia instead of the US!

That will flip a few of them by itself. Now Dem lawmakers, candidates, and VOTERS need to help those people connect the dots.

I was thinking of a darker outcome for farmers. All of those lands, or counties, will be bought up by big corporations without any interest in helping farmers, and used as voting blocks for Republican candidates.

So he admits he’s rigging it.

Only the people can vote out the MAGA nuts. Republicans are still under the spell.

I hate that this is what we’ve become.

Democrats need to stop disarming. Turn it up to 11 and do what the GOP does. There is no prize for second place.

Hit back hard!

Too bad we don't have a SCOTUS which would declare this "trying to fix the election" illegal.

These are the party affiliation states in my state, so this map seems fair:

Trump and GOP only think it’s fair when they win. If they lose, it is rigged.

Yeah, congrats, misery oops missouri when the history of how our country fought back against dicktraitorship misery oops missouri will be a footnote for the wrong side

"much fairer"🙄

Democrats don’t know whether to wind their ass or scratch their watch.

Blue states need to get their fingers out as gerrymander away as many red seats as they can.

Wipe out every single Republican-voting district in your states if you can. Not just tit for tat. Make the fascists piss themselves with rage and fear.

Waiting for Newsom’s response, lol.

Immediately!

Newsome needs to go nuclear in CA and redistrict to his original claim of flipping 9 districts to favor a Dem outcome.

They are assuming that they haven’t lost their own voters.

Could you "show - me" please, exactly how the fuck that's "fair"?

While yes, GDamned dipshits in charge are overturning the will of the voters, MO isn’t as red as the Cheeto thinks. (MO government also fkked the constituents who voted for and passed bills regarding minimum wage and PTO AKA Prop A) MO government hates the people that live there.

they undid this btw. we're having to vote again but this time its a combination bill which means abortion access is only allowed if we vote to fuck up healthcare for trans kids. seriously. they claimed we didnt understand what we voted for the first time, so they overcomplicated and undid the vote

This isn’t gerrymandering. This is what happens when only black people vote. Now, I have no problem sitting out the next election if we only count black peoples vote. We’ll call it Jimmymandering.

as someone who used to live in MO, the state is run by actual braindead morons. everyone in the state knows this.

To refer to such a gerrymandered map as "fair" just proves he cheats at everything, because he knows he cannot win anything without having to resort to cheating...

I've heard of red states, but only leaving the Gateway Arch to the blue? This is not representative democracy or even democracy.

It's a risk to gerrymander a gerrymander, since if you had R+10 or whatever, you might then have R+5 in at least a couple areas, in order to remove a blue representation. Basically 2026/28 are going to be our only chances to overcome their gerrymanders. We have to fix this.

But yes, we need to go all in to extract as many seats as possible. Like it or not, we have no choice, if we are to have a chance at saving the country, because we know what the alternative is. For the sake of the future, we have to try to save our country from this madness.

He says,'MAGA Republicans' aka Tea Party Republicans ... not the same Republicans we know prior to 10 yrs ago

Is it time to label the US as a third world country yet?

Give it a freaking rest for one day.

The day our country becomes sane again. Until then - no.

That day will never come.

Sad…

Yes it is sad that we live in a country that's almost a complete dictatorship run by a madman.

in case it wasn’t clear: MAGA has no intention on allowing free and fair elections to continue in America. all you idiots need to take a moment and look up the Rise of the NAZIs. this is nothing but an updated version. the Fourth Reich, if you will.

They are the Fourth Reich. I have been saying that for many years now.

Also a good reason that protesters should stay together in large numbers and have recording devices going.

Our protests have achieved nothing.

untrue. it's literally impacted tons of recent decisions; it would be so much worse right now if we hadn't protested but even IF it hadn't? we still can't do nothing. doing nothing is *worse* than doing something and failing. doing nothing tells conservatives to go bigger, go harder.

We *are* doing nothing. Yesterday is the closest anybody in this country has gotten to doing something.

my dude, have you not. seen the number of protests going on. like constantly. everywhere

like you literally just acknowledged these protests being a thing. with all due respect you might need to re-read my original comment

I don’t contest that the protests exist, I contest that they matter and/or work.

Jared, please

Impacted which ones? In what way? He might not send troops to Chicago but he’ll send them somewhere else. He might’ve stopped rounding up people of color in LA but it’s still happening everywhere else. These are token withdrawals successfully mollifying a population into thinking their voice matters

They've made him scared. That's huge. It's a start but it's an important start and it's a blow to his very fragile ego.

Scared was great in 2017. We need a lot more than “scared” now. I care a lot less about his ego than whether or not he is in power.

Between now and the midterms scared is a powerful tool. Keeping him scared about several different things - like Epstein, like losing Congress, etc keeps him off balance. And him being erratic makes it harder for his Project 2025 staff to do their jobs.

Lmao he is openly encouraging redistributing and gerrymandering to win the election by default. There isn’t going to be a free and fair election in this country for the foreseeable future and acting on a contrary assumption is tantamount to collaboration.

Very true! They seek #REDMAP

It will depend on the state you live in. But yes, this is a serious uphill climb - but it's not yet insurmountable.

I’m from Utah, don’t lecture me about what is and isn’t possible.

I am trying to be on your side - so yelling at me...probably not the most productive.

Remember, Hitler's erratic behavior is what kept his staff from doing their jobs in a coordinated fashion. That lost him the war. Throw trump in to that state NOW and he can't take total power.

he already has total power. as a rule, congress and the supreme “court” roll over for him and ask for another. all but a handful of state governments are following suit. waiting it out til the midterms is surrendering without having the balls to do it personally.

MORE BLUE DISTRICTS PLEASE!! Trump is a lying, cheating, despicable fucker! @democrats.senate.gov @democrats-judiciary.house.gov @judiciarydems.senate.gov

MO Democrats were shut down each time they went to speak Republicans talked over them or shut them down..it was horrendous how they were threated.

Those Dems need to be blasting that behavior all over social media. They need to be in local news stations doing interviews.

Hmmm...bragging about cheating - the new normal.

Go for punk try it! Hit back hoping for another Charlie?

The distinction between “fair” and “favorable to me personally” is one that should be taught to all children from preschool on.

Oh yes, because the needs of southern KC closely align with the needs of Camdenton. And northern KC bears such a close resemblance to Kirksville. Sad to see what MO has become. Show Me Disenfranchisement!

So, please!!! help me understand. If he won this state in 2016, 2020 & 2024, why would they have the need to gerrymander?

This about sending more Republicans to the House. Gerrymandering doesn't (directly) impact the Senate, or President thanks to the Winner Takes All Electoral College.

It doesn't affect the presidential election, but it helps GOP hold the house.

We are 40 % Democrats. They are losing support in rural areas due to agriculture policies and health care. It’s still Trump country but their are cracks

Thanks! So cheat at all cost. Can’t have those cracks.

It's not the Presidential election he's trying to ensure. It's the Congressional seats. He's terrified that Dems MIGHT squeeze 3 more seats out of somewhere and flip the House to Dem. And it's like 2 seats to flip the Senate. If Congress goes blue - they take back their power. He's no longer king.

We can only hope. Thank you🙏

No, we can work together to make it happen.

Or we could….. “There is generally no statute of limitation on prosecuting insurrection in the U.S. under federal law, as it is considered a federal offense akin to treason and can be prosecuted without time limits. Treason itself, a crime directly related to insurrection”.

MO state Constitution calls for ONE redistricting after each decennial census and that redistricting promotes Fairness and Competitiveness. Attempts to redistrict more often have failed in the state's Supreme Court in the past, it will hopefully fail again.

Forty percent of Missourians voted Democrat for POTUS, US Representatives and Senators. Currently Democrats have ONLY 2 of 8 districts, soon to be ONE! People need to realize the only group harmed by this are VOTERS. Gerrymandering should be outlawed by states, it is NOT fair nor competitive.

So you have the blue the size of trumps pee pee on South Park, eh? Wow! Well we know why your state needs all of our blue state taxes! H B

Much fairer? 😂

he makes the bestest words like a stable genius

Missouri, where hope goes to die.

When the populace finally realize that trump is not who he claimed to be, it won't matter where the lines for the districts are. People will finally see the light and no matter how you draw the lines, it will all be blue except for the extremist "beyond reason" places.

Satire has died. Again.

Must be cool to be such shit party that you have to cheat to win

The Heavenly blue surrounded by all that Hellfire red

I’m just ready to secede at this point. Fuck the reds.

How many Democrats vs how many Republicans in the state of Missouri? Whatever happened to “one man, one vote“? If this isn’t suppression of Democratic voices, I don’t know what else you could call it. This map is absolutely insane.

Gerrymandering must become flatly and purely illegal

KC, the largest city in the state & Democratic, forced to be lumped in with nearly entire rural middle of the state. Red Hat utter desperation on full display.

Missourians are angry and trying to bring this to a statewide vote.

Yeah that map looks like a realistic representation of the state's population! Oh wait...

This is on John Roberts so this is on George Bush.

It’s George Takei urging Democratic governors to push back against opposition, likely Republican policies or actions, with a call to action that’s gaining quick traction online.

And hit hard.

Fuck The Fascists!!

If only some good left billionaires buy up land in red state hot spots and build blue neighborhoods. Just a lovely thought.

Or better yet, if liberal voters start TALKING to their neighbors about politics... 1 to 1 education is a powerful weapon. In soooo many districts across the country flipping a small handful of voters flips seats.

Communication is definitely the key, thx.

It's definitely something we all need to work on.
