Rep. Jasmine Crockett, Democrat of Texas, just delivered her latest dramatic monologue about American democracy, and it’s a beauty.

“Yeah, this is exactly what happens when democracies are in free fall. And that’s exactly what we’re experiencing,” Crockett said in an interview on MSNOW.

What set off this five alarm constitutional crisis? Republican states redrawing congressional maps. That’s it. That’s the emergency.

Funny thing, Congresswoman, the same gerrymandering tactic has been the bread and butter of your party for decades.

California just rammed through Proposition 50 last November so Gavin Newsom could redraw maps and crush Republican seats.

Illinois has cartoon shaped districts that would make Picasso blush.

Massachusetts somehow elects zero Republicans to Congress despite roughly a third of the state voting GOP every cycle.

New York Democrats have tried so many partisan gerrymanders the courts had to step in and slap them down.

But when Texas, Missouri, or North Carolina do exactly what blue states have done for years, suddenly the Republic is collapsing and Jasmine Crockett is on cable news playing the part of a constitutional scholar.

She and the rest of her friends are clowns, and not even funny ones. More like the kind that show up uninvited at 3 AM standing at the foot of your bed. Scary clowns.

The Founders understood this exact dynamic. In Federalist No. 53, Madison warned that frequent elections were the safeguard against representatives who forget who sent them.

Crockett and her colleagues have not forgotten, they simply do not care, because the cameras are rolling and the donor class is watching.

Here is the part the corporate press will not touch.

Democrats spent the last decade insisting the popular vote was the only legitimate measure of democracy, right up until they started losing it.

Now the goalposts have moved again, and the new rule is whatever benefits Democrats is democracy and whatever does not is fascism.

If gerrymandering is the death of democracy, why does it only count when Republicans do it?
