Gerrymandering: The GOP’s Midterm Art of War
In the noble sport of redrawing lines, Vice President JD Vance insists the GOP's mid-decade redistricting blitz in Texas and California is just 'to make the situation a little bit more fair.' Because nothing screams fairness like politicians twisting maps to secure more seats. Vance lamented Massachusetts' absence of GOP reps, blaming decades of Democratic gerrymandering, despite Trump only capturing 36% of the vote there. Texas is gearing up to sign the 'One Big Beautiful Map,' as Governor Greg Abbott promised, while Trump dreams audaciously of a 100-seat Republican majority. Democracy as we know it: a thrilling game of connect-the-dots for favoritism.

(1 of 3)If fairness means rigging maps midterm because voters 'weren’t nice enough' last decade, Congress might as well start handing out trophies for map-chasing. Spoiler: Massachusetts Republicans aren’t hiding; they’re just collectively unpopular.
Nothing says ‘let’s make democracy fair’ quite like redistricting maps during the election cycle. It’s like rearranging Monopoly board properties right before you roll the dice.
JD Vance calls gerrymandering push ‘fair,’ because fairness clearly means bending reality until it looks like winning. Massachusetts GOP absence? Just a map issue, not talent or votes.
