The redistricting issue has backfired in epic fashion on the Democrats, culminating in a Supreme Court ruling that found racial gerrymandering to be unconstitutional. While the DNC was celebrating the anniversary of the end of segregation, it lacks enough self-awareness to see the irony in its party's opposition to ending racial segregation in voting districts.
In the wake of the redistricting issue imploding on the Dems, the talking points went out, and they are quite predictable:
The rush to silence Black voters ahead of the 2026 election is stone cold racism.

Black Democrats accuse Republicans of using redistricting to create ‘Jim Crow 2.0’https://t.co/7lje6M1hbe

Absolutely nobody is going to be disenfranchised, despite the desperate Democrat rhetoric.
But don't believe us. As a matter of fact, the turnout could be even bigger on the Left, according to the HuffPost:
The gutting of the VRA and subsequent targeting of Black politicians could spark a turnout surge. https://t.co/bi5vggO3Qc

"Targeting of black politicians"?
This is a Democrat the Left is complaining about being out of a job and possibly replaced by a black Republican:
Second, we were unreliably informed that the Supreme Court eliminating racial gerrymandering was going to be "Jim Crow 2.0" (or 8.0, or whatever number we're up to at this point). What happened?
How can they surge to vote if their vote is being taken away? 🤡

[surges to the voting booths]
Being a lefty means not really feeling compelled to make any sense whatsoever.
Twelve likes after 8 hours? I guess the spark went out.

Perhaps HuffPost's readers are too busy rushing out to vote to like their tweet.
