Thanks grumbler

It's a bright spot.

Next time it's the mid terms. I guess the question then will be twofold:

• Will the anti-Trump voters show up? (I expect yes)
• How much will the Trump administration put their thumb on the scale and subvert democracy (more of an open question as far as I'm concerned).

For number 2 I had read that a lot of the gerrymandering was to better utilize the Hispanic vote. If, like grumblers article says, hispanics are abandoning ship then that's bad for the GOP... which is good for the world in general.

Gerrymandering is one thing - it's kind of how the US has been rolling for a while I think. Unless the current attempts are of a new magnitude?

The thing I'm concerned about is systematic voter disenfranchisement, messing with voting machines, and brazen fraud. Will the Trumpists attempt something obvious? Will the US stand for it?

While I hope it doesn't come to it, I also hope if they try any vote rigging, they are as blatant and inept with it as they are with most things. Like... doing an old school Soviet 99% returns for Trump or some such shenanigans. Make it so obvious that everyone remotely sane will have to agree that they cheated.
