The entire state elects Republicans because they want to. There are no gerrymandered districts. You voted for Donald Trump by 20% in 2020. All your Senators and US Representatives are Republican.
As others have said, Utah is, in fact, heavily gerrymandered. We even had a ballot initiative that passed in 2018 demanding that the legislature draw more fair maps. Rather than do that, the shitfucks at the capitol came up with maps that were somehow even worse. Like, we have some real idiots in this state who want to be abused by fascists for some reason. I’m also an idiot, but I am firmly progressive and do not want to suck on a fascist’s boot, and I’m not alone. Utah may be red, but Salt Lake City is very, very blue.
Attacking someone personally over the dominant politics of the state the live plays perfectly into the hands of the conservative agenda. Keeps those leftys fighting each other while conservatives push their agenda on all of us with the coordination of unified force.
And by your own statement you are incorrect: if the state legislature and the federal representatives are overwhelmingly Republican, they already gerrymandered the whole state.
