Let’s be honest about it: Both parties gerrymander like mad. Right now the Repugs are doing more of it because they control a majority of state legislatures. Obviously, this is also how they manage to suppress a significant portion of the vote that traditionally leans democratic. Both also pander to their “base” voters. For Repugs, that’s RWNJ and old white men, Especially rich old white men. For Dems, it’s everyone else and that, by definition, includes minorities.Mr. Trump is refreshing in that he has abandoned the use of code words long favored by the right to mask their brand of activism. Code words like “constitutional originalist” and “personal responsibility.”
