As I understand it, the next dominos to fall are Georgia, Louisiana, South Carolina, Florida, and Texas. So that is a total of 6 Republican House seats flipping Democrat.

Alabama as already told SCOTUS fuck you. They will find a way to stall until too late for 2024 unless the Federal government threatens to cut all public funding for Ala which would only hurt poor people.

Brett Kavanaugh already signaled he is looking for someone to being a case that will allow him to vote for the killing of the 65 Voting Rights Act.


Republicans will come back again trying to finally kill the Voting Rights Act. If you think that is an unfounded fear I remind you of Shelby case 2013 where pre-clearance was killed allowing all these Republican states to created laws to disenfranchise certain voters
Of course they will, but they didn't get there with this case.

More recently they stripped some aspects (or maybe ancillary parts) of the VRA. I think that happened before Turmp even, in fact it likely played a key role in him getting elected.

People act surprised but this stuff has been openly discussed in right wing circles for some time. That's why Republicans freaked out about Turmp, most of them thought he was actually liberal and was going to undo the shit they were doing. But then he became the golden goose for the crazier shitheads (like Eastman) to try and enact stuff they'd been bandying about. The others have been deliberately slowly building that. But its also why McConnell hates his ass, because he basically took all the awful shit Republicans were slow-rolling and made it both apparent and also removed the veneer of respectability that pieces of shit like Romney and McCain had been providing as cover while they did that stuff.

All the more reason for the Republicans to keep fist slamming the panic button and ramp up their desperate efforts to seize control of the gov't via voter suppression, gerrymandering, disappearing what remains of the Voter Rights Act, enlisting more fake electors and election machine manipulators, more voter disenfranchisement schemes, disseminating much more hoax conspiracy fairy tales and flood the media with an unheard number of repeated blatant lies and false accusations that drive their members into a hate and fear inspired blind reactionary frenzy.

It's what they're most skillful at seeing as if they've now had decades of efforts to fine tune their war against democracy.

Alabama and most states surrounding it are a malignant cancer on this country. We should let Texas follow through on seceding and take Alabama and those shithole states with them.

Problem solved.

Offer asylum and monies to move sane people from the regressive south to the other states. We don't want to leave people behind in those kind of shitholes.

Wrong... the first thing that the new shithole country (probably called Redneckistan) would do is declare war on the U.S. They need an enemy to distract their rubes, I mean citizens from how horrible things are under their thumb.

Make them stay and suffer the humiliation of being in a country that has successful liberal-led states to contrast what shitholes they live in. Grapes of wrath all over again...lol!

How ironic it is that quite a few southern states are poverty stricken thus requiring the federal gov't to heavily subsidize them with welfare and other social services while those very same folks in those states are vociferously protesting against "socialism" and "undeserving folks" getting freebies from the gov't. Add to that how the anti-union big business folks over there suppress wages to attract investors and other businesses to set up shop there thus requiring the federal gov't to step in to provide monies to cover what those big businesses aren't providing to their middle class and poor working class shmucks that stupidly yet reliably vote against their own best interests. I still wonder why they do that to themselves.

Republicans get caught in court racist gerrymandering to disenfranchise black representation in that state and they are refusing the orders of SCOTUS. This proves two things. Republicans are the racist party and they don't really give a shit about law/order and the Constitution. I wonder if DOJ can petition the courts to enact penalties on the state of Alabama?

I had just graduated Advanced Flight School when I read about Colorado losing federal highway funds for refusing to raise the drinking age from 19 to 21.

It took about three weeks for them to change the law raising the age limit.

Sure there's some money that can be denied those inbred rednecks to make them fall in line.🤔

I can easily see those knucledraggers saying, "we all don't take erders from the Biden's corrupt administration. Nobody gonna teel us how to treat our spooks. They do what we say and they ain't gittin' political power"

They will allow their roads to go to shit just to stand on their racist principle. Penalties will have to hit them much harder.

Since this is a people issue, and not a road thing. Deny the state SSI, food stamp, WIC, and police grants.

In my opinion slavery worked wonders beating the savage out of Black people and making them fit for civilization, or so I hear. Obviously then what this country needs is for these vastly improved Black people to be able to own ignorant uneducated white people as slaves. I'm sure in a few generations we will have a vastly improved White race.

But some of those things hurt the innocent.

Just have the IRS garnish the wages of the people who are doing this. They cannot get their wages back ever, and are not allowed to collect unemployment
