You didn't check off what you needed to do in the state.

So the Virginia Supreme Court came in and said, yeah, again, you guys pushed it too far.

You bent the rules.

That didn't work out.

And so Republicans are able to gain even more seats because of that situation, which is really changing the whole tenor of the race, Glenn.

You know, I don't want to be the little black rain cloud here.

I don't think I've seen signs of any level yet of a left-leaning voter saying, you know what, maybe our party is going a little too far.

Where we did see signs of that, I think back in 2021.

uh 2022 where you saw the whole uh the George Floyd era I think was filled with moments where where Democrats said about even their own party hey I don't know maybe having some police on the streets is a good idea you know there were things like that that did happen I haven't seen that yet with redistricting the way this is being framed I think in the left-wing media and and honestly the mainstream media is this is just the Democrats trying to protect themselves

They're doing the best that they can against these evil Republicans.

Donald Trump is very mean and they have to do this this one time.

That was the pitch from Gavin Newsom in California.

Right.

These places had set up systems that were supposed to eliminate the exact type of activity that Democrats are currently engaging in.

And they went to their own voters and said, hey, you know, sure, we have all these rules set up, but aren't the Republicans mean enough?

And that kind of has been enough for a lot of them.

I do think that there is a situation where they do push this too far.

They're going to try to challenge all this stuff.

They're going to try to go down this road a little bit farther.

But they have a tough argument to make to the American people, who I still think, despite everything we see in the media, believe in things like skin color shouldn't matter, believe in things like merit should matter.
