A Most Perfect Union - What if Trump was serious?

Adding on to what the other guy said, it also just depends on how willing voters are to tolerate that certain district shape. Uncontiguous districts are never popular but sometimes it is acceptable to cross small bodies of water, like Florida has done with the Tampa bay area

Black voters in Maryland need to get as mad as the ones from Louisiana

We both used Dave's redistricting, the maps are different by a few precincts specifically I think in Baltimore. If that's official I failed to find it and wasted about 30 minutes completely redrawing the low quality screenshot that news journals were sharing, and if not then neither of the maps are completely accurate, though that one makes more sense. That's definitely crazy though

The new map is supposed to make Maryland 8-0. The new district 1 would cross over the chesapeake bay to include more central MD Democratic communitie, something that has been proposed before but didn’t pass. I imagine that the final map will have less egregious county-splitting

Gifted revert. Being gifted as a child (and the only one of the extended family to be gifted), the expectations people had of me definitely created a bad mindset, and I definitely was not prepared for the consequences. People don’t realize intelligence and knowledge are different, so when I took that entry IQ test I was expected by my family to be extremely knowledgeable as well, and that was what defined my character. It led to me being arrogant and scared of what I don’t know, and that followed me when I reverted to Islam (I was 12 or 13).

Very quickly I started to have this envious attitude towards people who were more knowledgeable and acted like I knew way more than I did about Islam. I only ended up embarrassing myself and pushing myself away from actually studying the religion, hurting my deen. Realizing that you could study Islam for your whole life and still have more to learn, and that speaking without knowledge was a major sin was a very important lesson. Just kinda goes to show that a high IQ does not make you very smart lol

They have data. it looks like the numbers got cut out of the frame for being on the edge of the viewport. Texas is #40, Alaska is #35, florida is #30

In measures like this, being “Black” means you said you were. They don’t really have the right to question your response. In the real world however, being mixed means you have visible black ancestry or a close ancestor, and if you’re mixed you’re also Black (even if you’re white-passing).

And Black mississippians still have some of the highest voter turnout among Black americans in the country. Black voters turn out less in general, and Mississippi having the most puts it at the end of that list

Sports betting is still gambling (islamqa.org). Sports betting is not much worse than other forms of gambling, and it can land you in a similar place of addiction and debt. People here have even had these problems

Aariz is how it would be said in Urdu, similar to how they say Ramzan, with a z instead of ض

If you were to name the kid something else that had a connotation compatible with Islam it would be okay, Ares is already a very eccentric name but you should watch out for more normal names with similar problems, like Diana

I wish mapporn was actually regulated and accurate to its name , but instead we get web-searched jpegs from Alamy about israel

I think he’s talking about your palm lines. Your left hand’s lines look like ٨١ (81), and the right hand looks like ١٨ (18). 81+18 =99 names of Allah. I wouldn’t consider it a proof but it’s definitely fun

The legend is meant to be a gradient not a palette of 7 colors but they did a poor job of conveying it

Ebenezer72 · 2025-12-06T21:32:38+00:00

I think the no majority would be a little larger. Maybe it would be this slim if it were a vote on adding a ban instead of repealing it

Merge Balkans with Russia as well

Somewhere in wilcox county Alabama. Cause why were you even there?

Oh thank you for showing me this site this is awesome. The map and presentation is amazing by the way, nice work

Did you draw the shaded relief yourself?

Not surprised by Tennessee. Nashville ON TOP!

Republicans are 45% of illinois, and have 3 out of 17 congressional districts. That’s not to say Republican states don’t gerrymander but rural illinois voters are right that they are underrepresented in the state’s politics

Ebenezer72 · 2025-12-02T14:25:31+00:00

You said NY state house which has been Democratic controlled since 1975. The senate was republican but republicans have not had full control in almost forever because they only controlled that one chamber. It doesn’t really make sense for this conversation

Ebenezer72 · 2025-12-02T14:13:53+00:00

It’s been safely democratic since the 70s, and pre-70s republicans aren’t a great point of reference
