Republicans have gained more than 900 state legislative seats since 2010

[Dont Taz Me Bro]

That's a pretty staggering number, yet "surprisingly" little has changed.

In the past three elections, Republicans have gained 913 state legislative seats, according to calculations made by Larry Sabato at the University of Virginia. Here are Sabato's figures in chart form -- and with historical comparisons -- via GOP lobbyist Bruce Mehlman.
Now, there are more 7,000 state legislative seats in the country, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures, which makes that 913 number slightly less eye-popping. Still, the Democratic losses between 2010 and 2014 amount to 12 percent of all state legislative seats nationwide.

As NCSL notes, Republicans now control more than 4,100 seats -- their highest number since 1920. After taking over 11 legislative chambers from Democrats in 2014, Republicans now control 30 state legislatures completely -- and have full control of state government (state legislature and governorship) in 23 states. Democrats, by contrast, have full control of 11 state legislatures and total control of state government in just seven states.

When the Democrats passed ObamaCare, the Right said, "Good. Then when it fails, all the blame will be on them."

Goose, meet gander.

And yet social liberalism is winning. WTF?

Gerrymandering works, no doubt about it.

But, every single one of those pigs feeding at the public trough, lives in fear of the primaries.

Thanks. That's the first good laugh I've had today. A billion lunatics are tossing your idea of Western liberalism off the rooftops of 10 story buildings. The sissification of society by Western liberals, their craven cowardice, their traitorous propensity, is why 6 million democrat female voters just abandoned your sick political ethos in the midterms. Wake the fuck up junior. America is sick and tired of the left's idea of what society should be...and so is the rest of the world by the looks of things.
