“Democrats are no longer pretending. Today, Holder, Obama, and the entire national Democrat apparatus are openly embracing aggressive gerrymandering in blue strongholds like California, Illinois, Maryland and New York using state courts and commissions to push the envelope and tip the balance of power in the US House ahead of 2026. This willingness to redraw maps outside the traditional, census-driven process reveals the Left’s new playbook: permanent redistricting, every cycle, by any means necessary. And unless Republicans are prepared to match their focus and intensity, we risk allowing Democrats to gerrymander their way to a majority – not just once a decade, but year after year. Winning state legislative elections has always been critical to advancing the conservative movement. But this new era imposes an even greater responsibility on our committee. The fight for the future of the US House now hinges on our ability to hold and expand our state legislative majorities every single cycle,” says a memo from the Republican State Leadership Committee, basically the NRCC for state senates and houses, slamming the panic button over the redistricting war their party fucking started because irony’s still dead and will never return.
