I woke up Sunday to the sounds of sobbing.
I read about it in a front-page Tribune story filled with self-pitying Republican quotes from . . .
Having read the article, I had a decision to make. Did I feel even a teeny-tiny tidbit of pity for these Republicans? Or did I write them off as a bunch of self-serving hypocrites?
Like Mayor Lightfoot on the elected school board, which she wholeheartedly supported as candidate Lightfoot—only to vociferously oppose as Mayor Lightfoot.
It’s classic gerrymandering—intended in this case to help Democrats and hurt Republicans.
But are they consistent when they make this point? Do they raise opposition when Republicans do the gerrymandering? For instance, did they denounce Wisconsin governor Scott Walker, a Republican, when he ratfucked the hell out of Democrats in 2011?
