3. There is enough pretense for the people who desperately want to think

they are above the political fray, and are "independents." to buy the both sides bullshit.

WE KNOW, yes, in years long past, Ds gerrymandered some blue states.

We also know, the Ds have called for fairly drawn congressional maps for the last few decades and tried to call a truce on it, so to speak, when Joe was president and put a bill forward to establish this - every D voted for it, and every R voted against it.

Things settled down a bit between the ten year map reviews, but of course DTJ had to open the can of worms up by prodding his idiot boot lickers in charge of Red states to force gerrymandering in advance of these mid terms.

But, all it takes is a few of their breathless screeds on Faux and FB and X memes showing some states that have no R congressmen and poof, the cherished "middle" voters pass all of this off as "both sides."




The Rs point that out, and there you go.
