When racially-based gerrymandering happens in the modern day, the American media loves it and suggests anything that stops it is “Jim Crow on steroids.”

Now that the Supreme Court is about to take up the issue and potentially ban it on the heels of Texas and Florida politically redrawing their districts — much like California, New York, and Illinois have — the media and their Democrats are furious with U.S. Rep.

If Texas and other states move forward, the U.S. House could stay Republican for a very long time, and Alabama’s U.S. Rep. Shomari Figures (D-Mobile) could lose his seat.
