Yesterday, Democrats in Virginia voted to formally end democracy.

And I wish that was hyperbole, but it's not.

The vote was on redistricting in Virginia and whether or not they would eliminate almost

every opportunity for Republicans to have their voice heard in federal government.

The state is about 55 percent Democrats. It's considered a

purple state, just not even that long ago. It had a Republican government. Now the Democrats have

taken over. And with that, the 55% thin majority proposed a constitutional amendment to remove

four out of five Republican congressional districts. That's right. And how did they do it?

Five districts stretch into one urban metro. That's right. They took one Democrat city and they branched

five thin strips out to touch other congressional districts, thus eliminating the strong

majority that Republicans had. Now, the response from Democrats is, yeah, well, they did it in Texas.

The only thing is they didn't. Now, it is true. Texas did redistrict, but they did not create new, for the most part, for the most part.

They didn't create new Republican districts and eliminate old Democrat ones.

They shifted the map.

Largely, the existing congressional map, it's still very much this, like the old map is still

very much the same.

They made red areas more red.

So what they actually did in Texas was they made it somewhat easier for Republicans to hold their seats.

Now the argument for this is that there's been major demographic changes. Populations have moved around.

And that is true.

Now, what's also true is that they did do this mid-decade, which is completely abnormal,

and of course, this kicked off.
