Lmao the first sentence: “15 years ago”. Uh huh sure.
My friend, you need to think of this as a long-standing continuation of the Jim Crow South, which in turn was a direct extension of chattel slavery. You can draw a straight line from there through to today’s gerrymandering: the whole point is to disenfranchise as many people as possible, taking away rights and power. This is really not that different, and it SURE AS FUCK ain’t 15 years old.
