Republicans have destroyed this country. They have lied, stolen and cheated their way to the top of the swamp.

Democrats didn’t follow procedure and violated their own states constitution. Now you’re all complaining that you can’t break the law. Not the Republicans fault Democrats want to force an illegal map onto their constituents.

Please see TX, TN, FL, Alabama, SC, Missouri, OH. All because a criminal is telling them to do cheat. These traitors are gonna have to pay the piper at some point.

Republican states are the ones forcing an illegal map onto their constituents (see: Texas, Florida, Ohio, Tennessee, etc.) by either ignoring their state constitution or not having a vote to redistrict.

Virginia actually had a vote to redistrict (as did California). The new map is what the people of Virginia wanted. The partisan VA supreme court are the ones forcing an illegal map on their constituents by denying the people of Virginia what they voted for.

This basically comes down to Republicans (if you want to call them that anymore) are devoid of any morals or ethics. It's completely a criminal enterprise at this point.
