I watched the 4min short you recently posted & it was tantalizing. I have a research degree, so I loved the stats!
I’ve been thinking about how adaptation is the key to survival and the GOP has decided that they would rather try to hammer their constituents’ amygdalae to provoke fight, flight or freeze responses and short circuit their executive functioning. This provokes their fears and hampers their ability to adapt to their changing environment.
There’s a great Star Trek TNG episode where the crew of the Enterprise starts to de-evolve after a T-cell becomes airborne & activates their introns. In 2015, the “Trump cell” was released and it created a permission structure for people to act on their most primitive impulses. The GOP continues to promote their crusade against adaptation so they can increase their power and wealth at the expense of societal progress.
Excellent quote on how 🤔 the party on the right wants to keep our laws and rationales from over 200 years ago for judicial decisions stuck in the mud and stone of shortsightedness claiming that is what America 🇺🇸 wants, like a modern day Handmaid's Tale. That is why until the SCOTUS Is expanded to 13 justices ⚖️ to reflect the 13 federal appellate districts, the GOP will have a stranglehold on the SCOTUS. Same with the gerrymandering being perpetually skewed to keep their minority in power. The 435 representatives cannot remain the same since 1911.
To accurately reflect today's population 🤔 would require over 1600 representatives to accurately reflect the same % as when the 435 limit was set in 1911. That's how 🤔 America 🇺🇸 will need to deal with the gerrymandering problem 🙄
Simon, You are right to be calling for a national voter registration campaign, and so are we! The Civics Center is a national, nonprofit, nonpartisan organization focused on getting the 4 million students who graduate from high school each year registered to vote. We train students and educators to run voter registration drives in their high schools. Most students are old enough to register before they graduate, but most high schools do little to help. Our Cap, Gown & Ballot campaign is aimed at helping all students register before graduation. Your assistance in spreading the word would mean a lot. thecivicscenter.org / https://www.thecivicscenter.org/drivehttps://www.thecivicscenter.org/cap-gown-ballot-1 / Thank you!!
