Are these loony EOs the collective straw that will break the gerrymandering camel's back?

[MoonRiver]

I think this may be the case in 2018.

1. Gerrymandered districts are a double-edged sword.

They provide a party with support that is a mile wide and an inch deep.

[MoonRiver]

2. I'm just saying the crazy (GOP) may have gone too far.

[dawg]

4. We certainly have a chance to flip enough districts to take back the House.

Gerrymandering or no.

[Trust Buster]

3. No, gerrymandering happens at the state level. Those Republicans controlling gerrymandered

states will support Tinkle Bell 100%. These actions represent the basis of why they voted for the idiot.

[MoonRiver]

5. Even in gerrymandered districts, people still vote.

[Trust Buster]

6. I think you miss the point of gerrymandering. It is a process to quarantine democrats into large

urban districts and surround them with many more smaller rural districts. Those right wingers in those smaller districts are celebrating today. They voted for the fool because he promised to enact E.O.'s designed to attack brown people. Tinker Bell just strengthened his base support. That is precisely why he has done what he has done in week #1. This is right out of the dictators handbook.

[MoonRiver]

7. I know what it means. MY point is that decent Republicans may rebel against this fascism.

And there still are a lot of DECENT Republicans, who do not want a fascist takeover of our country.

[Trust Buster]

10. Why ? They knowingly voted for Fascism. Tinker Bell promised them everything you saw in week #1.

[MoonRiver]

11. Who knows what they thought they were voting for?

A lot of them thought he would bring back jobs and build a stupid wall. I don't think the more intelligent among them, of which are many in the suburbs, thought he would be turning the USA into an international pariah. Now they know. Just saying.

[Trust Buster]

14. They voted for the fool because they want desperately to return to the 50's when women were

second class citizens and black and brown people were irrelevant. You overestimate your Republican friends. They fear the future. Trump knows his dictatorial powers depend on his pleasing his political base. Your Republican friends are celebrating today IMO.

[MoonRiver]

15. I don't have Republican "friends." But I know a lot do not want a fascist take over here.

[Trust Buster]

16. And I think they feel more empowered and emboldened today but time will decide this debate.

[MoonRiver]

17. Some do, but not all, imho.

[marylandblue]

8. New Voters are key

They are in every district, and there are enough potential democrats there to turn this around. They think their vote won't count, but now it counts more than ever. We need to reach them for 2018.

[MoonRiver]

9. +1000

[uponit7771]

12. Not right now... if they were closer to election time maybe but we need another 12 months of this

[MoonRiver]

13. Yes, probably, but I think we are at a crucial turning point.

[uponit7771]

18. Yes, to start a narrative about Benedict Donald this time is important and he's helping set that...

... narrative.

Most who voted for him only did so in voting against Clinton and not his policies and now they find out he's truly going to implement his policies they stop away.

A good tell tale is how much any of them want to talk about MiniPoot... the more they act as if he doesn't exist the more we know 18 is leaning our way
