    You mean a state run by Republicans that gerrymanders to make sure black people are underrepresented has a horrifyingly racist rural town?

    This is the sort of thing conservatives conserve.

      it’s actually not gerrymandering. it’s not having a mayoral election at all, and just treating “mayor” as a hereditary, monarchist-style title.
