As I’ve told many people, I don’t even care if it’s warm dog poop on a summer afternoon. It’s that there’s actually something going on up there. Anything is better than the olfactory equivalent of constant color gray.

Those of us who have been there, totally understand.
No one would question someone who said they could only see black and white. It would be obvious that there was a serious problem.
(Have I considered replying to other people in the discussion, too? Why yes, Discourse, I’m happy to do so at some point in the future, but TODAY I’m responding to @knoxblox. Deal with it.)

I can only see blue and yellow, and I still get questioned about it

Seriously? What is wrong with people?
As an aside, at a meeting I had recently (where I was, as usual, one of only two women in the room), there was a series of charts keeping track of two variables using red and green as the line shadings. I actually turned to the man sitting next to me and asked him if he could see the lines. He knew exactly what I meant and said “I’m not colorblind”. But with that many people at the meeting, I know there had to be at least a couple who wouldn’t have been able to make out the charts at all.

I’m pretty sure they’re not living in South Dakota or elsewhere, Borglums’ Folly not withstanding.

Of course, one could argue that technically they don’t…they live on sovereign land!

Congress could change its rules to not seat any candidate from a state with any district that has a perimeter to area ratio over a certain value.

That’s a good one.
And of course none of this would be necessary if we had “proportional representation” and just allocated seats by vote percentage. Candidates who got the most votes, total, could get dibs on their districts’ seats, but no party would get more than its share.
There would be some edge cases to worry about if not every party ran candidates in every district, but it’s not an insoluble problem.
