The Republican Plan for a One-Party State
In case you missed this Alternet.org article by Rick Perlstein in in 2017, it's well worth the few minutes to read or reread it.
Project Redmap
He called his plan “Project REDMAP.” It would work like this. Through assiduous research, his group would pinpoint a handful of vulnerable Democratic seats in states where control of state legislatures was close—Pennsylvania, for example, where Democrats controlled the lower chamber by a single vote—identifying the tipping points that could flip those bodies for the Republicans. They would then control the drawing of U.S. congressional maps after the 2010 census. At the time there were an estimated 25 true “swing” congressional districts. By deploying state-of-the-art software to devise maps to capture the greatest number of U.S. House seats with the fewest number of votes, the party could move every one of them safely into Republican hands for at least the next 10 years. All, he promised, for the low, low price of $30 million—about a tenth of what people are estimating the candidates will spend in the upcoming 2018 Illinois governor’s race alone. Karl Rove ducked in on one of the pitch meetings: “People call us a vast right-wing conspiracy, but we’re really a half-assed right-wing conspiracy. Now it’s time to get serious.”
There's a lot more. It's disturbing at the very least. Your Republican Rep (whomever) cares not at all for democracy, only their own power for their masters and screw the Stupid American Public.
Please take a couple moments to read it and pass it along to your fiends on the other side of the aisle or even a nice copy to any Republican Rep asking if this is what they truly want.
Only through a concerted effort in 2018 did we manage to wrest control of the House from the forces out to destroy Democracy. Cnntinue fighting among ourselves and 2020 might be the One Party Country the Republicans and Corporate Business HUnger for.
After all, if you can't have it all legally, get it anyway you can.
