There are blue states like NY that have laws in place to prohibit gerrymandering. They need to redraw their maps anyways before the 2026 midterms. Have the conservatives take them to court, and fight it, dragging they feet, until whoops, it’s after the election. Trump does things knowing they are unconstitutional but he won’t stop until he loses in court and has no further appeals, and even then might not stop. We should do the same. To save our country, to once again be a nation where the law applied to everyone, we need to temporarily throw out the rules and ignore the laws, just like Trump does, then when we have control, pass laws and put measures in place to prevent that from happening again in the future. So that no state can be allowed to gerrymander their Congressional maps. No President can blatantly defy our nations laws and get away with it for months while it is fought out in court. There needs to be a method to remove a president and members of Congress via a recall by their constituents.
If only one side fights dirty, then only one side will ever want to pass laws to prevent fighting dirty.
If one side fights dirty and the other side does too, now both sides have an interest in leveling the playing field.
Assuming they’re approximately of equal power and fight equally dirty.

Until the democratic party has the sack to call it a class war, it will continue to be a class war.
The Democratic party is fine with this.
Unfortunately there is no way to do this by the legal system.
Any blue state running afoul of its own laws will result in their appointments being denied.
Rules no longer matter and this next ‘election’ will not solve that.
I truly hope that I am wrong.
“Never sink down to their level; they’ll just beat you with experience.”
“Let’s just let them be fascists and we will just die.”
That is arguing with idiots in public.
Centrist neolibs have been adhering to that for the past 50 years; it’s how we’ve gotten to where we are now. But sure, let’s keep doing that, it’ll definitely stop them this time!
