    Much respect.

    Sometimes I imagine a counterfactual history where good people just abandoned those red states for purple ones in unison just before a census. A progressive gerrymandering of the Electoral College + House + Senate all at once.

    Even just one cycle of that would have jerked the Overton window significantly left…
