state versus blue state. as much as they are urban versus rural. for example, it might surprise you to learn that the vast majority of southern cities voted for joe biden. take nashville. it voted almost 2 to 1 for biden over trump. it's a fast-growing city. and so state house republicans are trying to push through a map that would effectively divide nashville's davidson county into three districts to dilute the county's minority vote. that's the purpose. that's the point. and yes, democrats play the partisan power grab game as well. take a look at two of the ten house republicans who had the courage to impeach donald trump. adam kinzinger and john katko. they put country over party. but democrats in illinois and new york rewarded their courage by threatening to redraw their districts. and both men decided not to run for re-election as a result. that's a real loss for our democracy. as these battles play out in state after state we should see how many of our partisan divides are being exacerbated by design.
