And it's like the American people are livid.

All of this stuff is going on that we've been talking about in this episode.

So MAGA then calls in a favor from their Supreme Court.

I mean, it's utterly pathetic.

what happens immediately after this well ron desantis specifically hold a bill that they were working on in order to rearrange the florida maps to attempt to add uh four seats uh because this supreme court case basically allowed that to move forward it was going to be unconstitutional this basically gave them the green light now it's to be determined if this florida gerrymander will actually be a dummy mander um as they've been calling it because

It relies on the Latino vote a lot from the previous elections, which of course has shifted dramatically, but it shows you where their mind's at.

That was one of the first things they did.

Also, we saw Louisiana Governor Jeff Landry declared a state of emergency.

And to me, this should be like a major, major, major, major scandal that anyone does this, but he literally canceled the state's upcoming congressional elections that were happening

so that they could do their gerrymander based on the Supreme Court decision, because that's what the Supreme Court decision was about.

It was about this majority black district in Louisiana.

And so they said, so the governor said, nope, suspending the election, it's not gonna happen until these maps are passed.

It's so corrupt.

And Ben was speaking about how unpopular the Republicans are.

And I think so many people ask, like I've seen this in our comments, I've seen people email me this and leave it in my comments and they'll say,

Brett, why are these Republicans still supporting Donald Trump and all of this chaos when his approval rating is in the 30s, when all these policies are so unpopular?

And I started talking about this a little on the last episode, but I'll bring it back right now because it applies to this horrific Supreme Court decision.

And that's when you have these gerrymandered districts,

the voters aren't choosing the politicians, the politicians are choosing the voters.

And so they're able to carve out these districts where they pack in the most extremist MAGA people all in the same district, or they put in as many Republicans as possible into a district and they dilute these other districts.
