    But now like 3 days before Louisiana’s elections suddenly they gotta shut it all down

    The GOP is staring down the pipe of a landslide election in 2026, so they gotta sandbag every seat they can.

    Liberals would logically respond by gerrymandering in-kind, as they’ve done in Virginia and started doing in California. But the innate “bring a sternly worded letter to a gun fight” reflexes of the American democrat continues to drag out any response until well past the point at which they’ve conceded the next election.

    This is going to be 2018 all over again. A bunch of excitement about a landslide that ends with a slew of concessions to Moderate Republicans. Democrats screaming “Vote Blue No Matter Who” at anyone who balks at the Henry Cuellar Re-election Campaign, then politely lining up behind John Fetterman for Senate Majority Leader once the polls close.
