GOP Not Worried About Backlash- In Their Eyes Women Won't Make Much Difference At State Level

Gerrymandering and voter suppression has pretty much locked out Democrats and prochoice constituencies. They also have the churches voting in blocks in key districts. And they have the religious right leadership telling women the are morally bound to follow how their husbands vote. And there are enough weak women who will comply.

that they would gamble so unless they felt they had guaranteed they could not be touched. Gerrymandering seems to have been a great success since it sounds like they cannot lose in many districts.. I am surprised by the overwhelming margins they have in key states at the state level.

I was just stating what I think they believe. And they are not finished yet.

On the other hand, maybe they know they're ultimately doomed & going for as much as they can get.

Our nation has done almost nothing to eliminate this basic threat to democracy.
