How to use Gerrymander in a sentence?
( In South Florida) the problem with white Democrats is they tend to live near white Republicans, sometimes in the same house, so unless you're gerrymandering down somebody's bed... South Florida's really hard to gerrymander white Democrats when there aren't that many of them, south Florida's much more efficient because of residential segregation to target communities of color.

All of this, and we're still in Trump's supposed 'honeymoon' period.

The fact that this gerrymander is achieved at the expense of people of color is not surprising.
