Endless onslaught of ads about the Byrd Organization’s attempts to gerrymander Republicans out of Virginia. Officer Harris won here by about ten points. That means because Texas redistricted after Merrick Garland sued them, that any and all efforts to erase Republicans is justified. A 56% vote justifies 91% of the seats in the House. Um. Okay.
Would Texas have done it if they hadn’t been sued? No, don’t ask that question. It’s all just the Bad Orange Man’s underhanded scheme.
Peeking at local social media discussions amidst the TV ads, I think my opinion is in the minority. I will vote against, but I’m not sure it really matters. Virginia will be completely blue again, just as Harry Byrd intended.
Whatever.
My inclination with the most-ardent supporters of this power grab was to make mental notes, and avoid doing any business with them.
But, on further thought, that’s unfair.
Keep this shit away from your business.
Both sides.
If you, or your employees (or owners) are forcefully supporting either side, I’m going to avoid doing business with you. Make your product. Provide your service. Follow the laws. Treat your customers with respect. And I’ll do business with you.
If you can’t do that, I’m just not going to do anything with you if I can avoid it.
