Dealing with fruit flies makes me sympathetic to how the theory of spontaneous generation held on for as long as it did. Where the hell did you little shits come from. Get out of my fruit
It’s pretty funny that California introduced a proposition to purposely gerrymander itself, explicitly to counteract gerrymandering in Texas, and it won by a fucking landslide. I swear you could pass any bill in California if you convince us it will piss off Texas.
Like if you’re not Californian I need you to understand. This was not a surreptitious political ploy by the Dems to trick us voters into helping them gerrymander a state to their liking. They fucking told us. They called it the Election Rigging Response Act and said “This is designed to buy us more votes because Texas did the same thing for Republicans and we want to cancel that bullshit out before the next election” and people fucking voted for it. In DROVES.
People who aren’t from California might not realize how purple it is. We have a lot of red counties. We have a lot of MAGA freaks who hate our state government. They spent millions trying to recall our governor. Our 2024 presidential election map looked like this:
So this was not an obvious shoe-in victory in a state full of true blue liberals blindly voting left. This is a huge, complicated state voting on a very strange, very openly anti-Trump bill. And we were asked, very plainly, “Do you want to pick a fight with these fuckers?” and California, even in districts that voted for Trump, screamed “YES!!!”
