Something similar happened in Ohio on state districts in 2022 ( or maybe 2020?). I’m fuzzy on the details at this point.The R controlled state supreme Court ruled the state districts illegal gerrymanders. The maga R state legislature basically said f u. And then everyone was just like welp not enough time now, we will have to use the old districts. And I guess they are still going to use the same old districts again in 2024.
They were running the clock until the R on the court that voted against them retired and got replaced by some MAGA chud in the 2022 elections. Now that that’s happened they should be golden. I think they actually get to re-up their gerrymander every 4 years instead of every 10 under the terms of a ballot initiative that was supposed to stop gerrymandering .
And it’s a freeroll, because even if it’s a Democrat trifecta, the country is still essentially how they all want it to be, including being able to pretend they want to violently “take it back”
Well, with a Dem US House Speaker with something resembling a spine, that speaker says, “Hi Alabama. Either comply with the SCOTUS ruling, or we’re not going to seat ANY of your reps in the House. Fuck you sue me if you don’t like it.” Under McCarthy? Probably nothing.

In one of my accidentally hipster moments, I saw Flamy Grant live when they performed at a San Diego Pride event like 2 weeks before all this happened. They’re really great and funny, too.
