Oh, the pearl-clutching never ends, does it?
Every time Democrats start howling about “Republican gerrymandering” and “undemocratic maps,” it’s hard not to laugh — like, full-on belly laugh — because the sheer level of selective memory and moral grandstanding is Olympic-level impressive.
Let’s take a little stroll down memory lane, shall we?
North Carolina. Home of NC-12 — a district so comically drawn back in the day it looked like a long, squiggly snake on political life support, cobbled together purely to pack as many Democratic votes as possible into a single, bizarre-looking blob. And guess what? That masterpiece of cartographic nonsense was proudly cooked up by Democrats during their century-long stranglehold on state politics. But now that the GOP dares to redraw districts in ways that gasp don’t hand over victories to Democrats on a silver platter? Suddenly it’s an “assault on democracy.”
On the left is how NC Democrats drew NC-12. On the right is how NC Republicans drew NC-12.

Cue the fainting couches.
And let’s not pretend North Carolina is the only place this game has been played. No, no — gerrymandering isn’t a red-state sport. It’s a national pastime. Go take a look at the Picasso-level map designs coming out of Democrat-run states like Illinois, Maryland, New York, and, of course, California — where “independent commissions” magically always manage to deliver favorable outcomes for the left. Funny how that works.
But the really delicious part?
Despite all the judicial battles, dramatic press conferences, and pearl-laced statements about “protecting voter integrity,” it turns out the one thing Democrats can’t redraw… is the census.
The population shifts don’t lie. Americans are packing up their U-Hauls and heading out of blue bastions — fleeing high taxes, anti-business regulations, spiraling crime, and progressive social experiments gone completely off the rails. And where are they going? Places like Florida, Texas, Idaho, and Utah — states that Democrats love to ridicule but people seem to love living in.
And here’s where the real fun begins.
Because when the next census rolls around in 2030, and the Electoral College gets rebalanced to reflect where Americans actually want to live, the consequences for Democrats won’t be hypothetical. They’ll be baked into the numbers. Texas and Florida — already flexing their influence — are poised to pick up even more House seats. Meanwhile, New York and California are expected to lose representation. Yes, lose.
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

The irony is almost too rich.
The same folks who built their political dynasties on favorable maps and demographic strongholds are watching their empires crumble — not because of GOP gerrymandering — but because people are voting with their feet. And these aren’t just Republicans fleeing California or Illinois. These are independents, moderates, even disillusioned Democrats — tired of watching their cities become unrecognizable war zones of lawlessness, taxes, and social engineering gone haywire.
And you want to know the best part?
There’s nothing they can do to stop it. No lawsuit, no court order, no last-minute commission report is going to reverse these trends. You can only push people so far before they pack up and leave. And they’re doing exactly that — faster than Democrats can hold another press conference demanding “equity in redistricting.”
But don’t expect an ounce of self-awareness when it all hits the fan. When the House flips harder than a pancake on a Sunday morning, and the Electoral College starts leaning harder right than Nancy Pelosi’s wine cellar leans left, they’ll cry foul again. They’ll blame the GOP, gerrymandering, the courts, the climate — anything except their own policies.
YEARS AGO Newsom and his Democrats stole power from the people by overturning the independent districting vote. They hijacked the process, gerrymandered maps, stole 12 House seats.
This corrupt elite now wants to steal FIVE MORE. What contempt they have for California citizens. pic.twitter.com/sb3Y5DenSF

Because admitting the truth? That their own voters are running for the exits? That’s the one red line they just won’t cross.
But the clock’s ticking. The maps are changing. And by 2032?
It won’t matter how loudly they wail.
The math won’t lie.
And there won’t be enough crayons in California to draw their way out of it.
