Gerrymandered or not, the rural electorate is voting GOP. I'm not sure how much of a difference redistricting would make. Around STL and KC, maybe Dems could pick up some seats, but in the rural areas not sure it'd matter much. Agree that Jeff City treats STL, KC, and Columbia with contempt, even though they generate all the money. MO used to be a decent place to live before the GOP took over.
And MAGATs lap it up as if they're getting to lick the sweat off Dotard's nads.
