Some of the points the editorial makes aren’t bad — a neverending cycle of tit for tat gerrymandering is bad for everybody — but it’s hard to credibly make that point when you dismissed it as a nothing burger until the other party started retaliating.

Yet as bad and corrupt as MO state government is, it's still not the worst I've ever lived in (hello TN!)
