Alabama GOP Congressional Map Ruling Sparks Meme Frenzy as Internet Declares Redistricting More Thrilling Than Reality TV
In a stunning display of judicial shade, the Supreme Court ruled that Alabama’s GOP-drawn congressional map is so unapologetically gerrymandered it looks like a toddler scribbled state lines drunk on sweet tea—cue the internet comparing the bizarre districts to everything from a melting octopus to the actual shape of Alabama’s beloved boiled peanuts. Meme historians note the irony: lawmakers fought to keep a map that dilutes Black voting power, only to have the Court slap it with an order to redraw *specifically* to include two Black-majority districts—proving that in the game of political map-drawing, the real winner is always the chaotic Google Maps direction algorithm.
