Well, howdy there, Internet people, it spell again. So today, we're going to talk about

Indiana, telling Trump no. Trump's push to redistrict various states in an attempt to shield

21 Republicans joined with 10 Democrats to defeat Trump's gerrymander. More Republicans

voted against it than voted for it. The vote was uncertain until Trump made a post to social media shortly before the vote,

lashing out and threatening to primary people.

Another state senator indicated text messages sent to friends and family swayed them away from supporting Trump.

Others referenced swatting attempts.

Then, as we previously covered, one referenced Trump's habit of mocking people.

State Senator Gene Lysing spoke plainly, saying, quote,

You wouldn't change minds by being mean, and the efforts were mean-spirited from the get-go.
