National Democrats must be stunned. They need to realize they cannot win a redistricting war with us. We knew from the start: Democrats have already gerrymandered their limited enclaves to death. Now, Florida has officially approved a new congressional map that gives the GOP a boost. It passed easily through the state House and Senate, and now it’s heading to DeSantis’ desk for his signature. 

DeSantis was fearless. How he brushed off threats from Democrats, like those from Hakeem Jeffries, aka Temu Obama, was legendary.

In Virginia, they attempted to pass a new congressional map that would have given them a 10-1 advantage. It’s been delayed in court, with the state Supreme Court refusing to grant a stay that could have allowed certification as the legal process unfolds. This Florida map is approved, and Texas’ new map was approved by the Supreme Court, which slapped down the lower courts for interfering in the electoral process. Now, with the Supreme Court ruling that narrowed Section II of the Voting Rights Act, the whole South could be redrawn. 

In keeping with Virginia here, the Democrats tried to outflank us. We pulled a flank march a la Stonewall Jackson at Chancellorsville and owned them again. 

Total victory. LFG. 

BONUS: These Florida Democrats are not taking this well.
