Segregating people by race is so on point for Democrats.

"Segregating people by race is so on point for Democrats."

Denying minority representation is so on point for Republicans.
The last four Black Republicans have already announced they are retiring from Congress, and it's only May.

Every Black Republican Is Leaving the House, Erasing Diversity Gains
All four Black House Republicans are retiring after this year, a reflection of the striking and persistent lack of diversity in the G.O.P. ranks of Congress.

Whenever I think I've plumbed the depths of your personal idiocy, you throw something like this out there.

A three-time Trump voter---You have clearly outed yourself as a racist authoritarian so many times.

The SC is helping a dictator to steal the next elections.

What's happening appears to be the big fascist move.

People like you who are in sympathy with it are disgusting.

The sole remedy to what the fascists are trying to do is a massive turnout of people who still identify as being Americans showing up at the polls next November, enough to over-match the manipulations.

Take the House and impeach Trump. Throw him out of office and then prosecute him for crimes against humanity and the United States.

While the man is awaiting trial, he needs anti-psychotic medications because, no, he really isn't Alexander the Great.

The GOP will not be content until only white male property owners can vote and Negroes become 3/5ths of a human, again.

The electoral college already has relegated city dwellers to 3/5 of a human

A sim0le look at Louisiana's district map tells anyone with an ounce of sense that SCOTUS got this right.

I guess if you are racist, you must make a lot of sense.

Irony.

It's LITERALLY what the Supreme Court is allowing Republicans to do:

Draw districts to separate black voters into minority positions so they have no power.

They still have the power to vote. No way you can pull up a district map of, say Illinois, and in any way justify it.

And it's not about minority votes. It's about drawing districts to benefit the Democrat Party. That's the reason the left is freaking out over this.

"They still have the power to vote"

Blacks make up 33% of Louisiana, yet will have a majority in only 1 of 6 districts.

You've purposely diluted the power to vote, then championed their "power to vote".

That's ugly racism, paraded as empowerment.

Here's hoping there's a special place in hell for these folks.

You misspelled Republican. This benefits the Republican Party. Were you lying, or unaware?

It takes a full-fledged racist to look at a 33% black state with a 16% representation rate and claim SCOTUS "got this right".

Bellringer doesn't even have the insight to recognize his own racism. He's that partisan.
