Hopefully the results is that everyone is concerned about gerrymandering instead of just Democrats and something can be done about it at the federal level.
Somehow I doubt the trumpers are worried. They just want to win. If anything can guarantee their state goes for Trump they'll take it.
I'm not American, but from my limited experience, my QAnon relatives (who are immigrants themselves in another western country!) were ok with martial law and taking away women's rights as the price to pay to get out of the "dictatorship" they imagined with "forced vaccination" and "LGBT indoctrination" and immigrant "invasion". They also have no problem with taking away LGBT rights because "they have too many now, look at Hollywood". They constantly bring up about how Jews run the world and how bad Israel is, but they have no problem with Trump being their lapdog and enabling their worst atrocities and fantasizing about building a riviera in Gaza. When all the Palestinians there will have perished (something I dread is likely to happen), they'll probably credit Trump with ending the genocide. And don't get me started on Epstein, which was their whole reason for joining QAnon. Back in February they were excitedly telling me, unprompted, how Pam Bondi says the files are on her desk. They haven't said anything since. Wanna bet they'll get defensive if I ask them about it now?
My point is these people don't care about democracy or human rights, they just scream about them when they experience disconfort, but really all they want is a godking who punishes "the right people" and reminds them every 10 seconds how special they are and how they deserve freedom and sovereignty not like the bad people who they are always persecuted by.
