That should give you an idea of the kind of district I live in after it was gerrymandered. I regularly let my representative know what I think of his positions (frequently using words like racist, nazi and asshole), but it never seems to make much difference.

I went to one of his district voter forums a few years back. The hall was packed with angry yahoos, shouting down anyone who would ask a "librul" question. And this guy's in office because the Freedom Caucus primaried our previous long-time GOP congressman because he wasn't conservative enough.
