How's this for an idea: start holding the GOP legally accountable for all the laws & court orders they are violating by removing them from office and sending them to jail? It would clean an awful lot of things up.

Time to cut off federal funding for any state defying the law of the land

[@ginafoster990]

I would agree with that but that would hurt the people that rely on federal programs to survive, medicaid, snap and section 8 housing. Would not affect the Republicans in Control. We need major grassroot movements in these Republican states to motivate the people to vote, most aren6 registered and most think their votes don't matter. It's going to take a major grassroot campaign to make Red states turn Blue. I can post to social media till my fingers hurt but I alone can only convert so many.

That would cause suffering for the most vulnerable unless the cuts were very carefully targeted. An easy one is to start arresting those responsible on contempt of court charges. Though, as I am not a lawyer, I don't know if that remedy is available to the US Supreme Court.

If they want to be exempt from the law, then exempt them from all laws and benefits, citizenship, commerce etc. Not a federal dollar for roads, bridges, jobs, services...

As a resident of Louisiana, I would normally apologize for the twits in the GOP who are pulling this stunt, but I won't. Mainly because I did NOT vote for any of those nutjobs. As one of the few people who does not blindly follow the GOP into crisis after crisis, I keep trying to make certain my vote counts. And for Federal elections it seems to help, but the statewide races, are normally won by the GOP, which is pretty much older folks going to the polls, and voting for the GOP without realizing how much that party is screwing them over. There's not really anything I can do, however, I will continue to [VOTE BLUE!] and hope that one day, my vote helps to make changes here.

[@neilbiggs1353]

It's done that way most first world democracies, but then they also don't have the absurdity of having judges affiliated to the political parties... In some ways, going after Trump and MAGA has backfired because it feels like it has distracted people from correcting the systems that he abused and shown could clearly be abused. It should have been that both were followed, but it's harder to engage people with debates about systems, especially with all the noise coming from the cult. I'm not saying that it was wrong to go after Trump, just that it doesn't feel like there is time left in the current election cycle to get the debates about process completed, and it's going to get harder to start them the further away from a Trump presidency we get, and then the worry is that we're letting time elapse to the relapse when someone worse comes along. At the very least though, I feel like every time a Republican talks about weaponisation, the Democrats should highlight the way MAGA have weaponised committees and challenge them to discuss policy that stops anyone weaponising a department/process etc. These cases are a result of Republicans weaponising the map process, but irony is lost on MTG and company

I think they are purposefully not complying so a Special Master has to redraw the districts. Then they can claim how the federal government is unfair and blame them.
