This, exactly this. She believes she is untouchable.
You can joke about Pam Bondi’s ridiculous unprofessionalism all you want, but I’m deeply shocked by it: She acts as if she fears absolutely no consequences, convinced that there will be no more political power transfers. — This should shake everyone to their core.

Gerrymandering is a form of voter suppression.
Voters in gerrymandered states find out quickly that their vote doesn’t count toward their representation, so they become apathetic.
