Despite the angst over the Supreme Court's Callais decision, what if. . .

a majority of Republicans voted for Democratic candidates in November? Is it, or is it not "the economy, stupid?"

1. That would be amazing, but they're republicans for a reason.

You may get a sliver of them that defect and vote Democratic, but the vast majority will vote GOP. Our best bet with them is that if things get ugly enough, a lot of them stay home and refrain from voting out of dissatisfaction.

2. Whatever works!

3. Say they did, for one single election. How does that change the impact of diluting the black vote on the state and local

levels as well? On state legislatures, county commissions, city councils and local school boards?

The ruling applies to state legislative districts and maps for county/municipal elections as well.

And the next national election? What then?

Hoping for continued republican dissatisfaction to somehow mitigate the lack of voting power black and brown voters will have now?

Black lives in white conservative hands?

4. More likely, redistricting will turn solid red districts more lavender...

Which might backfire as long as there is not also a significant amount of voter disenfranchisement.

It is pretty true that the tighter a Tyrant grasps, the more they lose what they had in their hand.

The corruption of the "Red Hat Ruling Class" (Big Finance + "Religion" ) is starting to squeeze the average non- multi-millionaires and actively hurting families and those on the margins.

And the corruption of the "Reporting Media" in constantly beating an anti-Progressive, Anti-American drum while hiding the excesses and machinations of the Red Hat Ruling Class is currently the only thing keeping Republican support from falling even lower.

5. We cannot underestimate the sheer rock wall of their hate for democrats

If you scape a bit beneath MAGAs/Republicans outrage at the economy, there is a granite determination to hate democrats.
Hate them because they are "libtards" no matter what. It is *almost* like civil war.

6. There is a Fascist contingent in the American Nazi Republican Party who,..

.... would never vote anything but ReThug. The relentless Fascist propaganda and brainwashing machine has been screaming and blaring at full blast to hate the G-dless filthy Libs, to only 0make them cry and make them suffer. It is this rabid MAGA and ReThug groups we are up against. It is all out war between this group and (Libs) us.

This is the Okay Coral, these fascist cowboys have been waiting for over a decade for this battle royal. Question is do we show up at the gun fight with our feather dusters or do we come after with our best no nonsense deadly weapons.

Whoever wins this battle walks away with the destiny of America as their war trophy. Fascism or Democracy who will be the victor - who will win the ultimate prize to select our method of governance for the long-term and into the future ?

The America Fascist Propaganda Machine has done such a superlative and proficient job over the decades to bend minds and brain wash. The American Nazis might just succeed in yanking America right out from beneath us then calling it exclusively all their own. Do we stay put and fight the good fight with all we have,.. because the day of reckoning for America is rapidly approaching. Where do you stand ?

[Mme. Defarge]

8. I'm your huckleberry!

[calimary]

9. Where do I stand? It'll be in fighting position, wherever I am.

7. We're going to win

10. Forget about that will not happen more realistic to find poor non voting

urban white and black voters and get them to the polls. Poor people don't really turnout for elections, but that hasn't always been the case. Will be a heavy lift, but still more realistic then thinking we are going suddenly make a bunch of middle class, upper middle class and wealthy republicans suddenly flip. Yes I know there are poor people still dumb enough to against their own interest, but I think poor for the most part excluding poor rural voters lean Democratic. Those are the people's votes I think we can get.
