The conservative mind & gerrymandering

I think the conservative mind literally wants to kill complications, counterexamples to their theories and vision, hatred for the liberal imagination, and sees the freedom to murder kids accidentally in gun ownership as a right, while others rights don't exist. Like the right to a medically necessary abortion to save the mother's life, maybe a woman who malfunctions like that as a breeder doesn't deserve to live. Maybe marginal cases just should be erased easily.


If Texas gerrymanders, California and New York are talking about fighting back. Fighting all the time, just escalates, there are two wings that balance each other out, in a democracy, but in fascism, authoritarianism, Trumpism, you try to win at all costs, and are particular about not seeing the larger checks and balances. 

When you cheat to win, it means you don't think you can win with the regular rules. That's not really the democratic spirit. Until Trump, America was a democracy. 


My approach to Trump is as follows. Read he's showing charts to disprove the economy isn't tanking. So he's trying to quell panic, so that he has power a little longer. He sees his horizon of good will shrinking from the base. The economy tanking will erase his base.
