    They are losing

    And that’s the reason they’re fighting so hard now. They know it’s a matter of time when even the lines on a map that have benefitted them so heavily start to erode as all the GOP diehards just die easy from old age.

    The GOP isn’t a party that really gains traction. Old people die off. As people age they’re not becoming conservative at the rate they used to. It’s not an attractive proposition to join a party that has hated you most of your life and is filled with reprehensible people

    So there fighting hard now while they still can. They’re putting on judges barely out of college who will be there forever. Rigging voting laws. Ignoring voting maps.

    Power is there goal and they’re holding on as long as it’s possible.

    They’re even trying to change the laws to stop the inevitable collapse of their shitty shrinking party. Trying to give states the right to basically throw an entire federal election because they know they’re going to lose.

      Does not being popular really mean anything if they seize the courts, rig the vote, and court the support of the police?
