Jesus fuck, I’m so glad someone else is panicking about their plans. Not too long ago, I finally realized the whole idea of these shitty laws being enacted in red states is a strategy to chase lefties out so that they control enough states to start a constitutional convention.

We fucking should be panicking, this is insane!!!

Do you realize how many people would have to be in on a conspiracy like that?

It's not really a conspiracy, because groups have been openly advocating for it since like 2009

It's not even something they hide. They run on it.

HOW DID I MISS THAT? DID WE CONSTANTLY IGNORE IT OR SMTH?

Here's the website for a conservative group that pushes for it.

Idk how everyone seems to miss it - it's why Republicans have been angling for such extreme gerrymandering since 2010 and want to dominate state legislatures so much

There's no need for formal conspiracies when all of these economic and political elites share the same ideology, which they learned from their environment growing up in similar positions of privilege within the dominant culture.
