Somehow I don't think you actually live in Wisconsin if you accuse the Democrats of being the worst when it comes to gerrymandering.
Somehow I don't think you're actually aware of what Democrat drawn maps look like if you accuse Republicans of being worse at gerrymandering.
Republicans haven't even done a good job in Wisconsin... Democrats are gaining ground here again re: redistricting. Congressional districts WERE 5-3 R for quite a while (while Kind was a representative along western WI), but then D's recently lost that seat and now it is 6-2 R. But like I said, D's have now caused the lines to be redrawn in a manner that makes a 4-4 tie quite plausible. I'd prefer the lines here to be drawn differently, in a manner that makes it even easier for R's to have 6 representatives, but that's just me.
This is how Wisconsin's districts are currently drawn (as the D's forced them to be re-drawn like this)... so this above map is a DEMOCRAT map, NOT a Republican one, even though it is very similar to the Republican drawn one at first glance (because Democrats weren't allowed to all-out gerrymander it like they've done in other states). I would personally redraw it in a manner that takes Stevens Point (in Portage County) out of #3 and put it into #7 instead (aiming to make #3 a solid R district instead of a "toss up" district, and still keeping #7 a solid R district). That way #3 also wouldn't look like a "carve out" as it currently does. Otherwise, the districts actually don't look too bad to me in terms of "blatant gerrymandering".
However, with this Democrat drawn map, Democrats gerrymandered district #1 in a manner that isn't noticeable to the naked eye (unless you are familiar with Wisconsin) in order to make it competitive for D's. These are very slight changes, but they added in
a lot of Democrat voters who weren't previously in #1 simply by adding Beloit into #1, extending #1 a little bit further into Rock County, removing the southern half of Waukesha County OUT of #1, and including Cudahy and South Milwaukee into #1 instead of leaving them in #4 with the rest of Milwaukee. Very subtle changes, but I took notice of what they did and why they did it. Now, besides #2 and #4 still being solid Dem seats, and #3 still being a "toss up" seat, #1 is now also a "toss up" seat instead of being a solid R seat. #5 - #8 all remain solid R seats. While Wisconsin is currently 6-2 R's, it could just as easily become a 4-4 tie due to how #1 has been redrawn in the D's favor.
Now, let's take a look at how Democrats have drawn the Illinois lines... It can't be any worse than Wisconsin, the "Republican gerrymandering capitol of the USA", right? WRONG....
Right off the bat, what the actual FUCK is district #13?? How do you explain why district #13 was drawn like that without using the word gerrymandering? It literally cuts a little sliver right through the middle of district #15, purposely connecting a bunch of cities together so that another Democrat district could be squeezed out of an otherwise blood red area of the state. District #17 does a similar thing for D's, squeezing out another Democrat district in an otherwise red area of the state.
Show me anywhere on the Wisconsin map that looks anything like district #13 does on the Illinois map.
Oh, and what about New Mexico? President Trump got 46% of the statewide vote there, yet ZERO of their representatives are Republicans. Why is that? Oh, that's right, Democrats gerrymandered the FUCK out of New Mexico, redrawing the lines in districts #1 and #3 way down into the southeastern part of New Mexico to suck up juuuuuust enough of the blood red counties down there that USED to be in district #2 so that NONE of their representatives would be Republicans.
#3 used to only cover a straight-cut smaller northern part of NM, and #1 used to cover pretty much only the city of Albuquerque (and immediately surrounding). #3 used to cover the entire straight-cut southern part of NW (less the Albuquerque area). Those lines actually made sense, but they are no more because Dems wanted ALL THREE seats instead of just two of them.
There's many other examples, but those two should suffice as worse than anything that Wisconsin has ever done.
