SCOTUS's ruling gave us 2 major parties waging war by rigging elections in targeted states.
If your response to this is cheerleading for your party to rig more elections than the other party, you're rooting for the collapse of representative democracy in the US.

Demand #ProportionalRepresentation
If you care about democracy, demand Proportional Representation (PR) instead of partisan redistricting schemes and gerrymandering.
Neither major party supports PR because they both want to rig elections in their own favor. #ProportionalRepresentation
