      > AOC: Wah wah wah.
      > We have asked Republicans for 10 years to ban partisan gerrymandering. And for 10 years, Republicans have said no. Republicans have fought for partisan gerrymanders across the United States of America, and these are the rules that they have set.

      Good for her. The GOP started the gerrymandering fight. Now they’ll pardon us if we finish it.

      Watching the GOP lose their minds over every single word she says is peak 2024, they treat her like a final boss when she is literally just pointing out the obvious, Rent free doesn’t even begin to cover it, Most of these complaints are just noise to distract from a lack of actual policy

      So a few sounds from Peanuts is enough to set off the Gop fanatics. Wonder what other sounds could drive them over the deeper end? Weird.

      [Conservatism](https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/conservatism) — by definition — is „a political philosophy based on tradition and social stability, **stressing the importance of established hierarchies and institutions** (such as religion, the family, and **class structure**), and preferring gradual development to abrupt change“.

      The *sole* value of conservatism is respect for and obedience to [one’s perception of] traditionally established hierarchy, and hierarchy dictates that those on top (in-groups) are rightfully idolized and receive privileges, credibility, and resources, while those on the bottom (out-groups) are demonized/dehumanized and/or bound by restrictions, scrutiny, and lack of resources.

      To them, the second-greatest injustice imaginable is for those [they perceive to be] on top [of social hierarchy] to be bound by the restrictions, scrutiny, and lack of resources reserved for those on the bottom. The first greatest injustice is for those on the bottom to have access to the rights, credibility, and resources reserved for those on top.

      Conservatives absolutely need an underclass [for society] to demonize and dehumanize in order to maintain [their] hierarchy, and every single one of their policies and rhetoric work to do exactly that. Every right-wing accusation is a confession — every single one; always! — because it is never *the act itself* that upsets them, but rather, the *social standing* of the person doing the act, as said act is a privilege meant for those on top of [their perceived] hierarchy (See also: pedophilia – Trump and Catholic church vs. LGBTQ+ and drag queens).

      „Know your place“ is their mantra.

      We need more of this energy. I’m tired of Democrats sitting around and losing. If Republicans want to play hardball, then game on. No matter how much they cry, both sides get to play by the same rules.

      Been interesting to watch my conservative acquaintances post about being “disenfranchised” and the need to “arrest and exe*ute Obama and Biden”. Same ones who have been gleefully posting “fuck your feelings” and who support Trump actively disenfranchising them. 

      Love AOCs response because it’s ultimately the best one “wah wah”, or suck it, you made your bed now rest in it.

      >“Listen, Democrats have attempted and asked Republicans for 10 years to ban partisan gerrymandering. And for 10 years, Republicans have said no,” she told reporters. “Republicans have fought for partisan gerrymanders across the United States of America, and these are the rules that they have set.”

      Yup, could not be better stated.

      We’ve been playing the high road game for years and it gets us nowhere. When the other side is playing by their own rules while you’re stuck trying to play within the rules, you’re not going to win. Now that we’re finally starting to push back and play the same games they’re playing, they cry fowl.

      The solution is to fix the problem so you can’t play those stupid games or accept your opponents are finally going to start playing those stupid games too.

      I am 100% for stopping gerrymandering and drawing biased districts, but until the time comes that that is stopped, we might as well play their game.

      Go to r/ conservative and (baffling/unsurprisingly) they seem to forget that repubs started this in Texas under trump’s direction…

      The GOP has had decades to “play fair” with drawing districts in Red States, but they chose partisanship and gerrymandered the hell out of their states. They don’t get to cry foul now that democrats are beating them at their own game.

      In Trump’s first term the GOP had two chances to end partisan Gerrymandering. The democrats advanced the “For the People” act that would have banned the practice outright. The GOP didn’t go for it. There was also “Rucho vs Common Cause” (2019). The Republican led SCOTUS didn’t even rule on it and sent the case back to lower courts. Basically rubber stamping partisan Gerrymandering as a-okay.

      So now that Virginia is playing the Gerrymander game Republicans want to pout about it?

      Fuck ‘em. They brought this upon themselves..

      Talk to me when you agree to a nation-wide ban on partisan gerrymandering in all states. Talk to me when you agree to non-partisan and independent commissions drawing district lines, not state legislatures.

      Until then… shut the fuck up.
