[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A lot of regular Republican and Republican-leaning voters are in favor of some gun control measures. Not as many as Democrats but there’s less daylight there than you might think. They, too, have kids in school, they go to parties and events, they worry about their safety just as much. The politicians and the conservative judiciary are way out of step with the voters on the gun control issue and it’s becoming a huge problem. [/quote]

Conservative voters are going to quickly learn that Republican elites don’t give AF about them, their kids, or their schools. Gerrymandering and a rigged judiciary ensure that these Republican elites won’t be dislodged from power, even if they lose elections. We told ya so.  [/quote]

Yep that’s the problem. People could vote for Democrats federally and for president to the point that they have a super majority in Congress but that’s still not enough. Because the state legislatures are gerrymandered to f*** to the point that states that are usually a slim to moderate R win for federal elections - 52-55% R - have R supermajorities at the state level, and THEN there’s the problem of these 35 year old Federalist Society/Heritage Foundation wackos getting a lifetime appointment to the highest courts so we’re stuck dealing with their decisions for easily 30+ years with no possibility for change. The book Democracy in Chains lays this out really, really well but is scary as hell. [/quote]
