This Suffering World: Privilege [1] ['Chitown Kev', 'A Pagan In Arizona', 'Sabrina Haake'] Date: 2026-07-05 Nobody suffers more deeply in the US than those seeing their ancient privileges falling to the spirit of equality. This is the heart of MAGAism, of the Lost Cause Mythology that thinks that the South can really Rise Again and take over forever this time. Look at these two maps: states already gerrymandered, and states that could be. This is a big setback for fair House maps. VA Dems targeted 4 Rs in response to GOP gerrymanders—now they can only flip 2 seats on old map.The GOP has targeted 14 Ds—9 were VRA-protected, Black or Latino, or both.GOP will likely target more after SCOTUS nuked the VRA.Ds have targeted just 5 Rs — Stephen Wolf (@stephenwolf.bsky.social) 2026-05-08T14:55:47.822Z He misspoke. He meant to say “white” people. — George Takei (@georgetakei.bsky.social) 2026-05-08T23:30:06.877Z The usual suspects are all in on gerrymanders now: The Heritage Foundation with Project 2025, the Maladministration, the six Injustices on the Supreme Court, and the solidly racist South, among others. Trump told House Republicans in a televised speech that they must pass the SAVE Act because if they do, Democrats "probably won't win an election for 50 years, and maybe longer." — The New Civil Rights Movement (@ncrmnews.bsky.social) 2026-03-10T14:16:21.378Z But don’t worry. The Save Act has no chance. Weeks after Trump stressed to his party that passing the SAVE Act was the “most important thing" they could do, Senate Republicans have shelved the legislation entirely, unable to bypass the Democratic filibuster standing in the way. trib.al/Mlmcxgi — The New Republic (@newrepublic.com) 2026-05-08T01:23:35.356232Z Democrats are likely to win 35 more seats in the midterms. Maybe more. Even if Republican gerrymanders tilt the map somewhat, they can’t overcome actual voting in such numbers. There are dummymanders in Texas and elsewhere, where the gerrymandering is so over the top that it could end up helping Democrats in a wave election, by reducing nominal Republican margins into the range of recent Democratic “overperformance”. Winning the Senate will be much harder, but seems quite possible. We are ahead in polling in three races, and have three marginal opportunities. Republicans hold a 53-47 Senate majority, meaning Democrats need a net gain of four seats to reach 51 and take control. — Newsweek (@newsweek.com) 2026-05-04T18:27:31.279Z Trump’s FBI has targeted the Virginia Senate leader who was a driving force behind passing the 10-1 Democratic congressional map in response to Republican gerrymanders.Trump hates few things more than a powerful Black woman who stands up to him — Stephen Wolf (@stephenwolf.bsky.social) 2026-05-06T17:02:09.511Z Other Suffering Republican FEAR…-Women -Fair Elections-Truth -People of Color -LGBTQ+ -Town Halls -Epstein Files -Accountability -Free Speech -College Educated-Comedians-Orange People-MAGA Waking Up…-Seashells — PhillipUSA (@phillipusa.bsky.social) 2026-05-03T14:25:11.202Z It’s time to acknowledge John Roberts’ greatest fear: the Supreme Court is illegitimate due to its own political operators. — Andrew Lawson (@itsalawson.bsky.social) 2025-09-08T16:47:20.863Z It now goes beyond just actual meme-for so many it is a confirmation of their greatest fear that this guy Trump may actually be mentally disturbed and everything that we all have witnessed is true. Trump is a danger to us all! MAGA for once be wise. There r other talented, decent Repubs out there. — HawkeyeJR (@hawkeyejr.bsky.social) 2026-04-14T07:25:44.154Z It won't be easy to increase the GOP's 30-point deficit on the generic ballot among Latino voters. But the White House is trying its best. x.com/WhiteHouse/s… — Will Saletan (@saletan.bsky.social) 2026-05-05T18:54:54.942Z Abortion is Life Affirming Care. — NotCIAreally (@stoplossmaxwin.bsky.social) 2026-05-06T02:53:40.919Z The Jack Smith files would bring Trump down faster than the Epstein files. Congress, the media, and the people should be demanding their release also. But there is only silence. #maga #gop — Jim of Pennsyltucky (@jimdigs.bsky.social) 2026-05-06T23:01:50.495Z https://bsky.app/profile/mcspocky.bsky.social/post/3mlcu3xxf7c2z Trump even pretends to be afraid that a Get Trump Out/86 47 message written in seashells on a beach is a death threat when somebody photographs it and posts it online. Courtesy Trump's buffoonish acting-AG Todd Blanche, the bogus "86 47" case against James Comey is already crumbling. 😂🤣👇 — Bill Madden (@maddenifico.bsky.social) 2026-05-03T17:59:22.405Z Bezos’ #Amazon sells thousands of 86 47 ítems. 😀another legal win for Comey. — AnthropoceneMPG 🌊 (@anthropocenempg.bsky.social) 2026-05-06T19:03:12.266Z Ah, Well Sufficient unto the day is the idiocy thereof.
