Anytime I hear Democrats complain about Republican “gerrymandering” and “not playing fair,” I just have to laugh.
I live in North Carolina, home to one of the most widely mocked and heavily litigated Congressional Districts in United States political history: NC-12.
Originally drawn by Democrats during the latter part of their century-long reign of error, it has since been redrawn by the GOP-controlled General Assembly to be more compact – but here’s a version of what it used to look like:
On the left is how NC Democrats drew NC-12. On the right is how NC Republicans drew NC-12.
Which one looks like a partisan gerrymander, @RepJeffries? https://t.co/fPmpqJQKJp pic.twitter.com/nRHkVtwyi6

It has always been represented by a Democrat in Congress.
Despite their protestations to the contrary, blue state Democrats have turned gerrymandering into an art form over the years, trying to redistrict Republican representation out of existence in hard-left bastions like Illinois, New York, Maryland, and California, even in cases where so-called “independent redistricting commissions” get involved. And yet Democrats have had the gall to whine when, in turn, red state Republicans respond in kind by fighting fire with fire.
In fact, some of the same bad-faith actors in the Democrat Party who are accusing Texas Republicans of “cheating” over their mid-decade redistricting attempts eagerly signed off on maps that virtually assured Democrat domination in their respective states.

But regardless of how the current redistricting battles playing out between Texas, California, Missouri, New York, and other states fare in the courts, because we know that’s where all of this will eventually be decided, ultimately the people are going to have the last laugh – and Democrats aren’t going to like it.
As we reported earlier, in the aftermath of the 2030 Census, Democrats are projected to lose several seats in the U.S. House of Representatives. Along with that, the much-talked-about “blue wall” is likely to come tumbling down, making it harder for Democrats to win presidential elections:
In the next decade, the Electoral College will tilt significantly away from Democrats.
Deeply conservative Texas and Florida could gain a total of five congressional seats, and the red states of Utah and Idaho are each expected to add a seat.
Those gains will come at the expense of major Democratic states like New York and California, according to a New York Times analysis of population projections by Esri, a nonpartisan company whose mapping software and demographic data are widely used by businesses and governments across the world.
If population projections hold, in 2032, a Democratic presidential candidate who wins Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin and Nevada… loses the presidency.

The especially sweet thing about all of this is that Democrats will have no one to blame but themselves for it happening. Why? The reasons for the population shifts between blue states and red states boil down to people being fed up with, among other things, rising tax rates, fewer job opportunities, woketivism on steroids, and soft-on-crime Democrats representing them at all levels of government.
Not to mention the Soros-backed district attorneys who preach about the supposed benefits of bail reform and “community service” instead of jail time, while the common folks end up paying the price.
It’s pretty hard to get around the fact Dems just govern horribly. Newsom can’t meme his way out of the fact he’s driving people out of the state. https://t.co/K3eeSEeTK0

As noted earlier, no matter how this cycle’s redistricting lawsuits do in the courts, the chickens are already coming home to roost in Gavin Newsom’s California and Kathy Hochul’s New York, thanks to the exodus to freer states. And by 2032, if current population trends continue, it will be all over but the crying, bless their hearts, as no amount of redistricting on their part now will be able to save them from what’s likely to come later.
