    I still can’t even get over the partisan gerrymandering being legal part… What fucking country is this?

    “Yeah when one party takes full control they can just choose their voters to make sure they always win. Totally Legal and Cool™©®.”

    Now this bs. “In order to win your case you just have to be a mindreader. It’s simple really.”

      He keeps arguing that voting laws, in general, whether they be gerrymandering or other laws that objectively and overwhelmingly disenfranchise select peoples, are fine so long as they are not (provably) intentionally discriminatory based on constitutionally protected class, but rather politically motivated/discriminatory. As if political discrimination for a constitutional right, let alone one that decides the ones who set these laws, is any better or more acceptable. At this point, he’d argue that a law requiring you to vote Republican is fine since it’s only politically discriminatory. Jesus Fucking Christ.

        He’d also shamelessly declare that anyone who disagreed with that law a communist, because trolling is the only thing they know anymore
