We have now established, about a million different ways, that Democrats have no intention of learning anything substantive from their defeat in November. First there was the disastrous meeting to select new leadership at the DNC, which resembled a bad “American Idol” audition more than anything else. The various non-binary and BIPOC candidates spent all of their time singing and complaining about how oppressed they are, instead of reflecting in any way on how they just lost the election. Then Democrats encouraged a domestic terror campaign against Tesla, which is obviously a surefire way to demonstrate your commitment to a stable, functioning democracy. And on top of that, Democrats also decided to go to federal court on behalf of Venezuelan terrorists who had just been deported, because as we all know, that’s what swing voters are really passionate about.
It would be a pretty significant understatement to say that this is not a winning strategy for the next election. To any objective observer, Democrats are acting like a party that badly wants to go extinct. But of course, Democrats have no intention of going extinct. Their sole purpose is obtaining as much power as possible. So it’s worth asking — as we watch Democrats double down on every single one of their policy positions from the last election cycle — what exactly their plan is, going forward. If they don’t intend to appeal to voters, what are they going to do? How are they going to regain power?
Recently the Democrats’ leader in the House, Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY), answered that question. Because Hakeem Jeffries is one of those people who’s simply too dumb to keep a secret, we have this footage that makes one thing very clear: Democrats do not intend to persuade voters based on ideas or policies or anything like that. That’s not a major part of their strategy. Instead, Democrats intend to change the rules. That is the winning strategy they’ve settled on.
Specifically, they’re going all-in on a supreme court race that’s taking place on Tuesday in Wisconsin. If Democrats win the race, they’ll retain control of the Wisconsin Supreme Court. And then, Democrats intend to use the Wisconsin Supreme Court to redraw congressional districts in the state so that more Democrats are elected, which (if successful) could ultimately swing control of the House of Representatives to the Democrat Party. So this is a state-wide race that will have major implications for the entire country. Watch Hakeem Jeffries explain.
That’s one of the creepier uses of the word “enlightened” you’ll ever hear. The Supreme Court of Wisconsin needs to be “enlightened,” says Hakeem Jeffries. And by that he means, the Supreme Court should be composed of Left-wing operatives who will do everything in their power to benefit the Democrat Party. This is how Democrats think about judges in every context.
Republicans select judges who will be “faithful to the law,” supposedly, which inevitably means that they routinely betray conservative principles and vote with Democrats half the time. Democrats, on the other hand, select judges who vote in lockstep with their party. That’s what they’ve done in the U.S. Supreme Court. And it’s what they’re doing in Wisconsin, as well.

If you’re confused about exactly what Jeffries is talking about, I’ll try to explain the general idea. Democrats are claiming that Republicans have gerrymandered Wisconsin’s congressional districts, by drawing the districts in an artificial way so that Democrats are only capable of winning two districts out of eight total in the state. In other words, they’re saying that the districts are currently drawn so that all of the Democrat voters are jammed into two districts. And now Democrats are promising to use the Supreme Court to redraw those districts, in such a way as to guarantee that Democrat voters are spread across more districts. In the end, the goal is to seat more Democrats in the House of Representatives, and unseat Mike Johnson (R-LA) and the Republicans from power.
One of the many problems here is that Wisconsin’s congressional districts, as they stand right now, are completely reasonable. There is no reason to redraw them, unless you’re trying to find some artificial way to get more Democrats in office. Here’s an image of what the districts look like at the moment:
Wikimedia Commons.
As you can see, the Milwaukee and Madison areas, in the southern portion of the state, each have their own district. And those are the two congressional districts that Democrats control at the moment — Districts 2 and 4.
If you compare that district map to the results in Wisconsin from the last presidential election, you’ll immediately notice the problems that Democrats have. Take a look at this:
Wikimedia Commons.
As you can see, the overwhelming number of counties in the state are Republican. Pretty much all of them voted for Trump. Democrats’ strongest base of support in Wisconsin is in the southern portion of the state by far — in places like Milwaukee and Madison. Those are the urban centers, so that makes sense. This is why Republicans have control of six out of the eight districts in Wisconsin, even though Donald Trump defeated Kamala Harris in Wisconsin by less than 1%. The Democrat voters happen to be extremely concentrated in these two places, and each of these two places is represented by a distinct congressional district.
In order to accomplish the results that Democrats like Hakeem Jeffries want — which is something like a 50-50 split in the congressional districts — you’d need to start carving up Districts 2 and 4. There’s simply no other way to do it, given that the rest of the state is reliably conservative. That’s what Democrats will have the Wisconsin Supreme Court do, if they win the election on Tuesday. Milwaukee and Madison would be divided in various illogical and arbitrary ways.
But this isn’t how congressional districts are supposed to work. Congressional districts aren’t supposed to be drawn so that they produce the same results as statewide elections. They’re supposed to be drawn to give a voice to the specific needs of various districts — including rural areas, which don’t have a lot in common with cities like Milwaukee. It’s a similar reason why we have the Electoral College (which of course, Democrats are also trying to abolish). We want congressional districts to reflect the unique nature of a particular area. That’s the whole point of them.
But for many years now, Democrats in Wisconsin have attempted to use redistricting for a very different purpose. And they’ve been having a lot of success. In late 2023, Democrats in Wisconsin installed a judge on the state supreme court who had openly campaigned on the platform of redrawing the state’s electoral maps for state and local elections. This is apparently the kind of thing that judges do in Wisconsin; they tell voters how they’ll decide cases, once they become a judge. That judge won, and indeed, the maps for state-level elections were ultimately redrawn. And the results were immediate.
In the November election — which, again, Donald Trump won in Wisconsin — Democrats flipped 14 state Senate and Assembly seats in Wisconsin.
Yes, in an election where the Republican candidate for president was victorious in the state-wide vote in Wisconsin, Republicans nevertheless suffered major losses in the state government. And without any irony whatsoever, Democrats celebrated this outcome as a major victory for democracy. And now that they’ve rigged the state-wide districts, Democrats are taking aim at Wisconsin’s federal congressional districts, so that they can retake the House and obstruct Donald Trump in Congress.
It’s not just Hakeem Jeffries who’s admitting this. I watched a little bit of the debate between Brad Schimel, the Republican candidate for this Supreme Court seat, and Susan Crawford, the Democrat candidate. It turns out that Crawford received an email invitation for an event about how she can help Democrats gain two seats in the House of Representatives. And then she attended the event via Zoom. Watch how she tried to explain this:
This is the level of corruption and shamelessness that Democrats are bringing to this race. Their candidate for the Wisconsin supreme court gets caught attending a planning session for how she’s going to use her position — as a supposedly nonpartisan judge who follows the law — to help Democrats in the House. And then she lies about it during a televised debate. And somehow, she’s ahead in the polls.
I watched some more of this debate, and she rattles off the usual lies about abortion, and how important it is for women to be able to murder their children for any reason. Then she lies about “heartbeat bills” and so on. She is, in every respect, an atrocious candidate. She is acting exactly like a generic Democrat partisan operative, because that’s exactly what she is. Republicans simply should not lose this race.
But at the moment, roughly 95% of Kamala Harris voters are backing Crawford, while only around 87% of Trump voters are supporting Schimel. That needs to change between now and Tuesday, or else Crawford will win. And that could potentially be a disaster for Republicans at the national level, at least in the short term.
It’s worth ending on a note of optimism here. Regardless of what happens in Wisconsin, it looks like Democrats’ representation in the House of Representatives is going to decline significantly by 2030, when the next Census kicks in.
thearp.org
That’s because, as this map demonstrates, people are leaving states like California, New York and Illinois. And they’re flooding into states like Texas and Florida. Democrats have forced millions of people to leave the states they’ve mismanaged. And that affects representation in the House, which is based on population — whether those residents are legal or illegal. On balance, that likely means that Republicans will pick up around 12 seats in the House by 2030. That’s more than three times the size of the GOP’s current majority. And because the Trump administration is sharply cutting down on the number of illegal aliens in this country, it’s going to be difficult for Democrats to compensate by flooding the zone with foreign nationals.
In other words, the broader indicators for conservatives are very strong right now. Democrats are doubling down on their most insane and alienating positions. And they’re resorting to gerrymandering, and promoting judges who are obviously corrupt, in an attempt to claw back a couple of House seats. But whether Democrats win those seats or not, the fact remains that Democrats’ constituency is shrinking by the day. That’s also why they lost the popular vote in the last election, to their great shock and horror. No matter how much lawfare these people engage in, it remains true that, in this country, voters — not judges — have the power.
What we’re seeing is that Democrats — both in Wisconsin and in Washington — apparently believe otherwise. They think judges get to run the executive branch, just like they think judges get to award Democrats another two seats in the House of Representatives. But on Tuesday, with the entire country watching, voters in the state of Wisconsin have an opportunity to prove them wrong. For the sake of the rule of law in this country, and for the Republicans’ control of the House, let’s hope they do so.
