Like just look at this past year and the national redistricting wars.
There have been numerous black members of Congress who have seen their seats drawn away in Texas and in Missouri and in North Carolina.
And so seeing how that's already happened when the guardrails were on, you could see how quickly this could spiral when they've been taken off.
We've spent most of this conversation talking about how this could impact Congress.
But today's ruling could impact state legislative lines and county lines.
This ruling also creates an opportunity for state lawmakers to redraw their own districts or local city and municipal districts.
To try and gain a partisan edge, right?
It's still about power.
But in doing so, they would be decimating some of these black majority districts.
And those local races are important because it creates a pipeline of lower elected officials, lower black elected officials getting an opportunity to eventually climb the political ladder and eventually end up in Congress.
Well, there could be.
But there's a flip side to this.
And that's the blue states.
So there is a possibility that these democratic states create new districts, new democratic districts that are represented by black members of Congress.
And it's also, I think, critical to remember that the black voting power within the Democratic Party is still really strong.
They hold an outsized impact in the presidential nominating process.
They're a core block in the Democratic base when it comes to general elections.
So their voice can't be erased as long as there is a two-party system.
Exactly.
We're in a hyper-partisan, hyper-polarized, give-no-inch era.
