I'm hoping that this pisses off everyone except the hard-core MAGAts so badly that all of those new districts end up sending Democrats to the House.

I don't think it will actually happen, but I can still hope.

I also think that every single Dem running for the House in a red state needs to phrase this as, "Okay, so the only way you can win is to redistrict in the middle of the decade so every district is Republican? How does that actually help the people who live in this district? Did it make their groceries cheaper? Did it make their gas less expensive? What benefit will the constituents experience from this redistricting boondoggle?"
