I posted some comments the other day about swamping the Republican Party with normal people. The idea was roundly mocked. It would seem that many people think the Republican Party is going to wither away. Well that’s a pipe dream. Thanks to gerrymandering, which will last at least through the end of the decade (until the next census), the Republicans can hold onto the House even though they lost the aggregate House voting by about a million votes. The same goes for many states. Wisconsin and Pennsylvania voted for Barack Obama, yet they are solidly red through the state house and the governor.

Clearly the bulletproof strategy is to join the party whose leadership is openly contemplating defrauding voters and asking nicely that they don’t.
