Speaking of Gerrymandering, it's the only reason Repukes have more seats in the HoR.

Oh, absolutely. And they have just about enough of their judges in place to insure a continued majority.

I was making a passing comment on cities in red states, pointing out that the upwardly mobile people live in large cities and majority are liberals. I am aware that with gerrymandering, they have little to no voice. How else can red states have a monopoly in all branches of government when a significant minority are Democrats?
I have only lived in liberal states; IL, FL (80's), CA, OR and now Reno, NV which is almost a 50-50 split. Doubt I could live or survive in a red state.

Right-wing conspiracy theorist Alex Jones on Thursday moved to liquidate his personal assets, agreeing to demands from the families of Sandy Hook victims whom he owes more than $1.5 billion in damages over his lies about the 2012 school massacre.
The seismic move paves the way for a future in which Jones no longer owns Infowars, the influential conspiracy empire he founded in the late 1990s. Over the years, Jones has not only used the media company to poison the public discourse with vile lies and conspiracy theories, but also to enrich himself to the tune of millions of dollars.

He needs to be left penniless.

And more, one of the vilest humans that I know of.
Good news is that his trial in New York is slated for September, so some of the GQP lowlights will dominate the MSM news cycle near election time.

A court-appointed bankruptcy trustee has indicated plans to sell off right-wing conspiracy theorist Alex Jones' Infowars media empire to pay some of the $1.5b (£1.18b) he owes to families of the Sandy Hook school shooting victims.
In a court filing filed on Sunday, the trustee, Christopher Murray, said he was planning to close operations of Infowars' owner Free Speech Systems and "liquidate its inventory".
The news comes a week after a bankruptcy judge decided Mr Jones' personal assets would be liquidated to pay back the victims for spreading misinformation about the deadly 2012 shooting at a suburban Connecticut school.

He belongs on a street corner in east LA or southside Chicago with tin cup.

A federal judge threw out a bankruptcy case filed by The Gateway Pundit, finding that the far-right conspiracy site was seeking bankruptcy protections in “bad faith” to avoid costly defamation lawsuits stemming from its publication of 2020 election lies.
The ruling Wednesday from US bankruptcy judge Mindy Mora means the defamation cases will move forward. Two Georgia election workers and a former Dominion Voting Systems executive sued the outlet over its false claims that they rigged the 2020 results.
