Maura Healy Threatens to Gerrymander Massachusetts, But…

Massachusetts Governor Maura Healey now has Republicans quaking in their boots. 

In response to the Texas legislature’s move to redistrict its state to create more Republican districts, Healey is making a brave stand and threatening revenge. 

She, too, will redistrict the state in retaliation.

It is a frightening prospect, I know. In a state known for its fairness to Republicans, a change in attitude could have serious repercussions. 

Currently, the state has nine Congressional Districts and nine Democrats representing them. Should a less favorable map be created, the state will have nine Congressional Districts and nine Democrats representing them. 

Not only does Massachusetts not have any GOP congressional districts, they don’t even share a border with a GOP district pic.twitter.com/7d4C1uHu0h

In fact, Massachusetts hasn’t had a Republican represent the state in Congress since 1996, or nearly 30 years. I’m not quite certain how much worse Healey can make it for Republicans, at least on the national level. Or, for that matter, in the state legislature. In the Massachusetts Senate, there are 40 seats, and 35 are held by Democrats. 

Democrats also hold a supermajority in the House. Democrats have, for all intents and purposes, 100% of the power there and are bitching about not having enough and grabbing more. 

It’s like how Democrats complain that the government doesn’t have enough money–no matter how much they have, they need even more. 

When you look at these blue states, some with ZERO republican representation in Congress, you know that all the whining from the #txlege democrats is just pure hypocrisy. They should be grateful we are only adding 5 seats, when we could add 9. https://t.co/r70u8LENYF

Democrats whining about Gerrymandering is like George Soros complaining about billionaires influencing politics. It is pure gaslighting. 

It’s hard not to laugh when Democrats complain about things. Lawfare? How dare Trump investigate his political opponents? Democrats would never do that! If Republicans investigate obvious crimes by Democrats, perhaps Democrats will arrest Donald Trump when he leaves office! Maybe there will even be a mugshot!

Texas Democrats flee to…Illinois…to protest Gerrymandering. I mean, the jokes write themselves.

And to prevent billionaires from influencing politics, those same Democrats are taking gifts from Illinois Governor Pritzker–a billionaire–in violation of campaign finance laws. He is literally giving them a free vacation in his luxury hotels as long as they promise not to show up for work. 

It’s hard to get too angry at the politicians. After all, everybody in the political and media elite is egging them on and praising their courage. Being outraged at these politicians for this behavior is no more rational than being outraged at a toddler for throwing a tantrum and hitting his playmate while their parents are cheering him on. 

It’s the parents–or in this case, the Pravda Media–who are the worst malefactors. In a sane world, the media would be challenging these Democrats to explain why Gerrymandering Republicans out of office is “protecting democracy” while Republicans doing the same to Democrats is a threat to democracy. 

We don’t live in that world. We live in a world where Democrats trot out the Steele Dossier–a document that everybody in the media and in government knew was a ridiculous hoax paid for by Hillary Clinton–and create “Russiagate” to destroy Donald Trump. Yet when the hoax is conclusively proven to be so, the media goes to great effort to bury and “debunk” the evidence. 

Gerrymandering is a fact of life, and not a particularly pretty one at that. But I live in a state where an “independent” redistricting committee does the job, and it isn’t exactly perfect either. It’s just a different part of the establishment arranging things to their taste. 

Democrats talking about maintaining fairness and political norms is as reasonable as J.B.Pritzker lecturing about Making America Healthy Again or Elizabeth Warren talking about her Native American heritage. It’s having Tish James and Adam Schiff lecture us on obeying mortgage and tax laws. Or Dan Rather about fact-checking documents. 

Or…quoting the “Gaza Health Ministry” about conditions in Gaza. 

It would be a joke, but so many people still take it seriously.
