This is déjà vu—but it’s also a blueprint.

When Democrats don’t like the scoreboard, they rewrite the rules.

Mid-cycle redistricting, ballot language games, “independent” commissions neutered after the fact—it’s all part of the same playbook. Dress it up as “fairness,” sell it with slick summaries, then ram through maps that predetermine outcomes.

That’s not governance—that’s engineering the electorate. And every time they pull it off, they push the system a little further from legitimacy. Because elections aren’t just about votes—they’re about trust. And once trust is gamed, the damage doesn’t stay local. It spreads. [Luthmann]

Good Night, Patriots!
