    And just like every other red state, they will continue to make insubstantial, tiny changes. Then, with no approved map available at election time, they will revert back to the original illegal map.

    This is how it’s always done now. Conservatives do not respect court orders or pacifism. The disease of conservatism can only be cured by force.

      Looks like federal judges are going to appoint a neutral third party to redraw the district’s this time, they’ve learned that trick.

      Of course, Alabama is appealing to the supreme court, and we know which way they lean, so.

        Mentioned this elsewhere, but SCOTUS is the one who threw out the original map. AL is essentially defying SCOTUS here and so I doubt they’ll be friendly to the cause.

      Okay Satan, do you really want another civil war? I don’t. I don’t want to see my friends and loved ones die because of a bunch of political bullshit fueled by greed, power and hate.

      I wouldn’t even be in favor of whatever government won on either side. Our nation’s values are rotten to the core much like what seems to be the entirety of the world’s governments, corporations and any other significantly sized organization.

      The internet just seems to be fueling more vitriol than ever. We could try coming together and fighting the establishment with shared common sense bipartisan goals while keeping the bullshit out of it but then there’s no free lunch for the people with all the money.

        I agree the billionaire class and corporatocracy are the common enemy, but conservatives defend them loyally. So if you really want to regulate, limit, tax or dismantle that common enemy, you’ll need to go through conservatives to get there. And they aren’t budging. They never will. They are the minions of our enemy and will gleefully kill you and your family to defend them. In fact, they are doing that right now by aggressively heating the earth while mocking normal people for panicking about it.

        The next civil war will not be fought in trenches. It will be fought at cafe’s and on freeways as conservatives commit further acts of domestic terrorism. Conservatism is a plague in desperate need of a cure.
