The response from Democratsto the Supreme Court's decision to strike down race-based gerrymandering has been predictable - running high in emotion and devoid of objectivity. The Democrat Party has understood for a long time that much of their power comes from inserting themselves as the spokespeople for the supposed "have-nots".Racial hysteria being a key weapon in their arsenal to push the ongoing socialization of America.

Its the reason why left-wing NGO's have been dumping millions of dollars into the very "hate groups" they claim to be fighting against. Leftists need racism as a bogeyman; they have no power without it.

It makes sense that Democrats are clinging to Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act (VRA), which prohibits voting practices (including redistricting maps) that result in denial or abridgment of the right to vote on account of race. The assumption being that minorities (specifically black Americans) require rigged districts where they are the majority in order to maintain power in government.

This obviously benefits Democrats, with around 83% of blacks voting blue in recent elections. Predominantly black districts in states across the US have acted as assured seats in the House for Dems since 1965. In 1982, Congress strengthened Section 2 by amending it to clarify that plaintiffs only need to prove that a voting practice has a discriminatory result (effect), not just the intent.

Republicans sided with Democrats in a grand virtue signal, but the results of the strengthened VRA have harmed conservatives ever since. The Supreme Court's recent 6-3 decision in Louisiana v. Callais ends this 45-year-long mistake, at least, for the most part.

This is what it looks like to stand up when democracy is on the line! Florida Rep. Angie Nixon disrupted a special session to protest gerrymandering, declaring, “This is a violation of the Constitution.” We must continue to protect the power of the people’s vote! ✊🏿🎥:…pic.twitter.com/g0lPRcSmGQ

The decision sets a precedent which largely eliminates the use of frivolous race-based challenges to redistricting maps and will lead to a loss of 12-19 House seats for Democrats over the next two years. States which are planning to adjust their maps in light of the Supreme Court ruling include Louisiana, Mississippi, Tennessee, Florida, Georgia, South Carolina and Alabama. A few other red states are looking into potential changes before 2028.

The Democrat reaction has been an absolute meltdown. Impending district map changes threaten a loss of around 12 seats in the near term.

The underlying narrative promoted by the political left is that the ruling will result in black Americans losing the right to vote. Chuck Schumer insinuates this in his frantic response, calling the decision a "return to Jim Crow".
