Governor Newsom has said that we must "meet fire with fire." He's talking about fascism, not fires.
We must meet fascism with fascism?
The gov, a strongman, intends to call a statewide vote on whether to discard (for a while) our nonpartisan congressional districts and replace them with carefully gerrymandered districts.
The Namby Pamby party became committed to gerrymandering last week; suddenly anyone who disagrees is a weakling.
Who wants to be weak? I expect voters to go along. Going along is how Mussolini, Hitler, Putin and Trump were first elected.
I'm not a contrarian. I vote Namby Pamby, not for Raving Loonies. But gerrymandering is wrong, isn't it.
Historical Footnote: When California voters created non-partisan districts, it was over the dead bodies of the Namby Pamby and Raving Loony leaders (except for the Terminator). Politicians enjoy the security of gerrymandered districts as much as Trump enjoys the company of fourteen-year-old girls.
