This is proved by the majority rejecting the Republicans who inevitably err (as to the Liberals in Australia) on the side of cruelty and environmental damage. Then there's the absurd 'electoral college'.

As if that wasn't bad enough there is the nationwide gerrymandering which is so plainly crazy that even when maps are redrawn to still give the Republicans an advantage in a largely Democratic State, the Republicans cry 'unfair'.

The map they came up with is awfully hard for Republicans to criticize on a substantive basis. Of the 18 new districts, eight were won by Hillary Clinton in 2016 and 10 were won by Donald Trump. The districts are much more compact than in the old map, without any of the stretched and winding lines that characterized them before and with only 13 of the state’s 67 counties split between multiple districts (the number was 28 in the old map).

But when your starting point is a map as skewed as Pennsylvania’s, any attempt to reset to something fair looks like a pro-Democratic effort. As the New York Times described the consequences, “Over all, a half-dozen competitive Republican-held congressional districts move to the left, endangering several incumbent Republicans, one of whom may now be all but doomed to defeat, and improving Democratic standing in two open races.”

Naturally, Republicans are portraying this as an unconscionably unfair decision. The National Republican Congressional Committee announced that “State and federal GOP officials will sue in federal court as soon as tomorrow to prevent the new partisan map from taking effect.” And President Trump is outraged:

Hope Republicans in the Great State of Pennsylvania challenge the new “pushed” Congressional Map, all the way to the Supreme Court, if necessary. Your Original was correct! Don’t let the Dems take elections away from you so that they can raise taxes & waste money! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) February 20, 2018
