Here&#x27;s sort of how this went sour.<p>Democrats, &quot;Man, I can&#x27;t wait to get in power... when I do, everything is going to be so &#x27;fair&#x27; and it&#x27;s going to be paradise.&quot;<p>Republicans, &quot;Once I get in power I&#x27;m going to use the rules to my advantage and make sure I stay in power.&quot;<p>Democrats, &quot;Aww shucks, you beat us by using the rules we all agreed to!  Man, I never saw that one coming.&quot;<p>Republicans, &quot;We told you we hated government... see how backwards it is... come vote for us next time and we&#x27;ll do something about it.  Also Jesus.&quot;<p>Democrats, &quot;Ok!  Once we turn 40 we&#x27;re there!&quot;<p>And thus, Gerrymandering is here to stay.
