Is the "Supreme Leader" drama necessary?


Well, Trump isn't a "Supreme Leader", but he certainly wishes that he was.

I think Trump wishes he'd lost and he had a tv show about being president instead.

Firstly I'm just gonna shoot this in the head and say TLJ is retarded.

Secondly Supreme Leader is the styling of a dictator. You don't oust dictators without a lot of violence.

That's true. Split governments are key to fair maps.

Yes, it's dumb and your friends are dumb if they do it and you should seek more mature company.

Evers is not going to sign a redistricting plan in 2021 that favors republicans. Hes going to want to get a map that is neutral

It seems childish and simplistic.

He's going to want a map that favors his agenda, maybe he'll get forced into a fair one by his legislature, but we shall see.

I don't think this has been mentioned, but Ron DeSantis will replace three of the 4 liberal leaning FL supreme court justices, ending the 4-3 liberal majority.

Win some and lose some like the rest of the country. From what I've gathered, Liberal justices will be taking control of North Carolina.

I don't think Florida realizes the opportunity they blew. several years from now they will regret it but the damage will have been done. I may never fully forgive them.

By your logic, the newly Democrat states will also regret it.

I still maintain that Pelosi is a literal egg that will just feed ammunition to the Republican machine.
