Congratulations Gerrymandering Joe!



Hey there Gerrymandering Joe.  Hope you're ready for a big day, because today will be just that: a big day.

You'll wake up, get your lady Consuela to make you some toast and eggs, and then have your chauffer drive you into the office where, of course, you'll begin the hard work of gerrymandering every single district in Louisiana in a way that prevents black people from ever voting in a meaningful way.

"How?" political neophytes might ask.  You'll chortle at them as you draw nonsense lines on a map in such a way that you isolate each person of color in each of your cities in a different district, where they are the only minority voice voting.

It'll be exhausting, figuring out where people live and then painstakingly insuring that they'll never be able to meaningfully participate in an election, but you didn't take this job because you thought it would be easy: you took it because you're an asshole, and you wanted to make the world as terrible as possible, and god damnit, you're doing it.

Congratulations Gerrymandering Joe!
