Oh, so now it’s “rigging” when Republicans do exactly what Democrats have been doing for decades? Please. Let’s all take a deep breath, put down the fainting couch, and stop pretending this isn’t politics as usual—just with Republicans finally playing to win.
Missouri’s move to redraw its congressional districts is not some nefarious backroom plot; it’s a long-overdue correction to reflect the actual will of voters in a solidly red state. Missouri hasn’t voted for a Democrat in a presidential race since Bill Clinton was still playing the saxophone on late-night TV. Yet for years, Democrats have clung to Rep. Emanuel Cleaver’s Kansas City seat like it’s some untouchable relic. Now that Republicans are doing what any sane political party would—trying to turn a 6-2 delegation into a more accurate 7-1—suddenly it’s a constitutional crisis? Give us a break.
Governor Mike Kehoe isn’t “bowing to Washington” demands. He’s responding to the voters of Missouri who expect their state to be represented by people who share their values—not by Democrats like Cleaver who are more in sync with Pelosi and the Squad than with actual Missourians. And Trump encouraging this push? That’s not meddling; it’s leadership. Unlike some other Republicans, Trump remembers what happened in 2018. He’s not going to sit on his hands and hope for a different result in 2026. He’s making sure we don’t walk into another midterm buzzsaw unprepared.
🚨 BREAKING: Missouri House committee on redistricting just PASSED the new Congressional map that will WIPE AWAY a Democrat seat in favor of Republicans in 2026.
Time for FULL PASSAGE – and EVERY red state who can do this must follow suit. Florida, Indiana, Ohio are NEXT! pic.twitter.com/K6sAW5Loid

Meanwhile, Democrats are out here pretending they’re above it all while pulling exactly the same strings in blue states. California, that bastion of virtue and equity, is literally trying to dismantle its “nonpartisan” redistricting commission just to ram through more Democrat-friendly maps. Newsom and his crew want to rewrite the rules mid-game so they can flip five more seats in their favor. Funny how democracy is sacred until it gets in the way of their power grabs.

And let’s talk about the supposed outrage. Ashley Aune and Russ Carnahan are crying foul like the referees just took away their favorite toy. “Rigged maps!” “Voter suppression!” Come on. This is politics, not a group therapy session. Republicans are finally showing some backbone. We’re tired of bringing a handshake to a knife fight.
Yes, the Missouri legislature is also looking to make it harder for outside interest groups to rewrite the state constitution every other election via ballot initiatives. That’s not anti-democratic; it’s common sense. Missourians didn’t vote for recreational marijuana and abortion-on-demand because they suddenly turned liberal—they got steamrolled by big-money campaigns from out-of-state activists who parachute in, run TV ads, and then vanish. Making the initiative process more deliberate isn’t about silencing voters; it’s about protecting them from being misled by professional manipulators.
Let’s also not forget the bigger picture. Democrats want you to believe that redistricting is some one-sided Republican scheme. But the truth is, they’re pushing just as hard—and with far less transparency. In places like Illinois and Maryland, they’ll gleefully slice and dice communities to cobble together Frankenstein districts that serve one purpose: keeping their grip on power. They call it “equity” or “fair representation,” but we all know it’s just politics in a different shade of blue.
So yes, Republicans are redrawing maps. Not because we’re cheating, but because we’re finally playing to win. And if Democrats can’t handle that, maybe it’s time they rethink their strategy—or start packing. Because in 2026, the red wave isn’t going to ask politely. It’s going to redraw the map—and the future.
