I’m pretty sure we can all safely agree that Democrats have been cheating in elections as long as there have been Democrats, elections and ways for them to cheat in those elections. And when it comes to cheating, Democrats always approached things from a rather unique perspective. That perspective being, of course, that no one but them should be allowed to cheat. And should anyone ever dare to make the attempt to prevent them from cheating, well then, it’s they themselves who would be accused of being the ones who are guilty of doing the cheating. And it’s that little scheme that has worked rather well for Democrats across the centuries.
Which,
of course, brings me to yet another silly broadcast of MSDNC’s, “The Weeknight.”
This past Monday one of co-hosts of this bizarre bit of television programming,
Symone Sanders, asked ex-attorney general Eric Holder about the topic of the
week, the redistricting taking place in Texas, and attempted to make the
argument that President Trump is attempting to “steal” the 2026 midterm
elections. Sanders said, “AG Holder, I mean, I think it’s crazy. I think it’s
crazy that Texas lawmakers, Democrats, their only recourse to protect the
voters in their state, the people in these districts that will be
disenfranchised by these maps, is to just flee."
She went
on to say, “I mean, I feel like what Vice President Harris said just last week
about she feels as though the system is broken, this is just yet another
example. And what is the recourse here? Because I think Donald Trump is trying
to steal the election, just like you said last time when he said, well, find me
11,780 votes, please, Secretary of State in Georgia. And they were like, no,
this time he’s like, hey, Greg Abbott needs five seats. Not trying to have a
Democratic house. And Greg Abbott’s like, sure. This is brazen, and I don’t
feel like enough people are like hair on fire about it. If I had hair, I’d be
on fire.” Holder said, “This is not a Texas problem."
He said,
“The focus of this issue is Texas, but this is a national problem.” Holder claimed
that the proposed Texas congressional map actually violates the Voting Rights
Act. the fact that Democrats have been forced to drag Holder out of mothballs
to run point on this lunacy should tell you everything you need to know. And the
funny thing here is that it’s only when Republicans attempt to do this
redistricting sort of thing that this douche bag, Holder, sees it as being a
problem. And, apparently, if Republicans refuse to draw their redistricting
lines in a way that benefits only Democrats, that can only mean one thing, that
they’re trying to steal the election.
And then
it was fellow co-host Alicia Menendez who then asked, “Do you believe these
maps that have been proposed violate the Federal Voting Rights Act?” Clearly,
we have not gotten to the point where the media can no longer even pretend to
be neutral. Democrats claiming to “protect” voters by running away because those
crooked Republicans are doing something every Democrat led state has already
done. Holder said, “Well, they certainly do. I mean, we were already
challenging the maps that were in place after the redistricting that was done
in 2011 and in 2020. So there’s no question that these maps are violative of
the Voting Rights Act."
Holder
went on to say, “They dilute the power of people of color in Texas, Hispanics
and African-Americans.” This is all just so hilarious! A Democrat accusing President
Trump, or any Republican, of trying to steal an election! Democrats should show
us all how truly principled they are and un-gerrymander California and Illinois
to give Republicans more districts. Until they do, as far as I’m concerned, they
can simply sit down and shut the Hell up! So let me see if I have all of this
straight. We now have Eric Holder, ex-attorney general, telling us about what
HE believes is law, and what is not. Now that’s pretty damn funny when you stop
to think about it.
Anyway,
he added, “If you look at the reason that Texas got two additional seats after
the census, it was because of the influx of Latinos into Texas. Ninety percent
of the population growth in Texas was as a result of that influx of people of
color, and yet, what did the legislature do in the suit that we’ve already
brought? They created two majority white districts. Now, if you create another
five, if you do gerrymandering and fool around with five more districts, you’re
just going to exacerbate that which we are already challenging. I think make
the lawsuit that we have even stronger.” There is no better experts on election
stealing than the Democrats.
All of
which begs the question, is all of this panic that we’re now seeing come from
the Democrats justified? I mean, look, if President Trump is as bad of a
president as Democrats, and those in the ‘fake news’ media, claim, and if he’s
as intensely unpopular with the American people as they claim, then why are they
so worried about not winning the midterms? The Democrats seem to be already conceding
that they’re going to lose in the midterms and conceding that they have no
better plan for 2027-28 than, “Bad Orange Man stole the election.” It’s really
quite remarkable. The Democrats are in a worse position than either party has
been in years.
And it’s
really rather difficult not to notice that the Democrat messengers being used
to advance this cockamamie theory of theirs are people most of us haven’t heard
from for a while. And is it me or does it seem like they’re intentionally
beclowning themselves, running the worst possible argument with the worst
possible messengers. Do they really not understand why their party has the
lowest approval rating in the history of the modern polling industry? And, of
course, I think there’s little chance that any of those on MSDNC will be discussing
the gerrymandered Illinois map with its convoluted squiggles that give
Democrats 14 of the 17 Congressional districts.
Actions
like fleeing the state to deny a quorum should be illegal. These people are
supposed to be adults, any members who engage in such behavior should be made
to forfeit their seats. Democrats are cowards, if the map violates voting
rights act it should be litigated in the courts. They should come back and
represent their constituents. Republicans are merely taking a page from the
Democrat playbook. When out of power, Democrats cry about the very things they
do to Republicans. Ironically, all the big blue states have already done this
years ago, and now they preach stealing the election because the red states are
finally waking up to their BS.
Finally, gerrymandering has
been a Democrat tool for generations. So much so, that Democrats can scarcely
gain a single seat because Blue States have already reapportioned everything
possible in their favor. Now they bitch and moan at a Republican state for
doing the exact same thing. The entire argument the Democrats are using is
false. Democrats are telling you that they are trying to protect the voters but
that’s a lie. Redistricting does not take votes away from anyone. Everyone
still has their vote. Democrats are trying to protect their seats, but Holder is
right about one thing, this is a national problem for Democrats, it isn’t just
a problem in Texas.
