The New York Times is still trying to figure out what the heck went wrong.

(Actually, it's a very cool map, though.)

Gerrymandering is the process of people equating each other to geographical cancer.

They're mostly wrong.

gerrymandering IMHO is akin to a bloodless ethnic cleansing.

Student suspended for wearing pro-Trump 'build the wall' t-shirt wins $25,000 settlement and an apology from his principal

An Oregon high school student will be given a $25,000 settlement and a written apology from his principal after a judge found orders for the teen to remove a pro-Trump shirt he had worn to class were in breach of his first amendment rights.

Addison Barnes, 18, was a senior at Liberty High School in January, when he was suspended for refusing to cover up a t-shirt promoting Donald Trump's proposed border wall.

The teenager wore the shirt, which reads: 'The wall just got 10 feet taller', to a politics class on a day there would be discussion of immigration.

He was asked to cover the shirt by the school's assistant principal, after the dean of students reported some of his classmates felt 'intimidated and threatened', court documents show.

When he uncovered the shirt again, he was told he could cover it back up, change into a different shirt, or go home. The school counted his choice to go home as a suspension.

Shortly after, Barnes filed a lawsuit against the school – and won.

seems that student musta learned to be an ahole at an early age.

Gerrymandering definitely had a huge impact, like plenty of factors that go into a national campaign. I think this one most evidently toppled everything else to give Trump the final push, even under the popular vote:

/\ Didn’t you get a straw stuck in your nose trolling around the swamp?
Well I have to humble myself,I was in error about the Commander Cheeto jacking with my mental health care provider,Medicaid put a temporary hold on payments because some jerk embezzled funds.
I still don’t like him.

IMHO his supporter are far worse.

I’m pretty ticked off at the whole human race right now.
Mass stupidity.

god needs to step in and open a can o' whoopass.

Yeah,as*holes have overpopulated the earth like an algae bloom.

AFAIC, it has reached a critical mass which threatens to end civilization in many places.

It would be better if Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez or Bernie Sanders solved everything.

God has a tendency to kill the innocent whenever he is trying to help. I doubt that all the good people in the world could fit on an ark.

but who else has the power to entrap and segregate all the bad actors to protect the rest?

Oh that poor snowflake...but as I recall students assembling about gun violence in schools, did not get such a pass for their freedom of speech. But the accepted their school mandated punishments of detentions and what not with dignity.
