This new racial blindness in the law will somehow remove all black elected officials in the south which has the highest black population
How about that, intent is just so supremely hard to understand

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Jim Crow Two Point Oh
Taxation and regulation without representation. Go ahead, raise the pressure and give people less to live for. I'm sure that'll work out just fine...
Traitors to the American people.
That’s exactly what they think of you.
Weird map should be illegal, not on race basis, but, they made districts in the middle of nowhere smaller, while there are giant districts spreading over populous Nashville and Memphis in addition to giant rural area.
To analyze effect on election outcomes, https://engaging-data.com/county-electoral-map-land-vs-population/ (shows county results that districts don't respect, afaiu) you could compare 2020 election results, and add Dems overperforming 10% over Biden, and that can be more than 1 tenessee district blue. If this is midterm map, memphis/nashville turnout can win 3-4 states.
This can happen, because GOP in Memphis/Nashville would run a lesser-nazi (not Trump sycophant) level candidate to just steal a few votes for senate/national level, and voter turnout can be low if they know district result is certain. Even splitting Memphis 3 ways, winning all 3 districts is possible. Nashville split is not clear to me.
You can be angry at GOP bs, but this is mostly an opportunity for Dems. Older map was a much longer shot at flipping a seat.
Safe Dem seats also is a recipe for pure Zionist first, do nothing else, rule. Same with racially divided seats that increase divisiveness, and increase pure facist ideology from bumfuck counties, who don't need to concern themselves with humanist values, because none of their voter base has any.
