Where I live, we codified anti-gerrymandering into the state constitution. Didn't stop republicans from pushing a blatantly unconstitutional district map. The response was "well, we'll review it, but it's our only option". It feels like they're saying "fuck you, there's nothing you can do to stop us", and short of blatant political violence? I think they are right.
Many of these people weren't even legally elected to their positions. They do not represent us. Our state and federal governments have been corrupted and abused by people with huge amounts of capital, for many many decades now.
also massive propaganda apparatus by FOX and russia plus voter suppression methods that downturns voting behaviour too.
