It looks to me that the Texas Republicans are trying to un-Gerrymander districts that used Gerrymandering to favor Democrats. Look at the Congressional District Map around Harris County to see what I mean. And the Democrats call this Gerrymandering.

The GOP needs to fight this one. I don’t want to hear that goofy, “you got to choose you battles” BS. This is the hill to die on. The RATS have never been stood up to like this before. They’ve even got The Faux Texan, Boy Beto Bandito crapping his pants and running to hide behind the skirts of the Prickster, Newscum and Hocall. The boy wants to “fight fire with fire”. He’s a tough guy when peeping out from between the Prickster’s legs.

“The Republicans are better positioned to win the larger conflict because the Democrats have already gerrymandered all the juice out of their states “

Yup.
Massachusetts for example has a 9 - 0 gerrymandered Democrat to Republican congress people margin already.
Can you squeeze more Democrat seats out of that?
Nope.

Every Republican governor and legislature in every state controlled by Republicans needs to grow a pair and gerrymander the s__t out of their state.

The author gives too much credit to the GOP. They are experts at snatching defeat out of the jaws of victory.

May also lead to adding more blue states to the Preclearance Rules in the 2032 Voting Rights Act rules, as that year will be when a new VRA must be done. Adding preclearance to those states is what conservatives must do because they see how the districts are being done to appease urban liberals. The whole point of the Democrat Way is a Rural Purge so each district is represented by an urban or college town legislator.

One of the biggest changes we need in politics is to remove party affiliation from the ballot.

Citizens should do the research needed to make an informed decision and then vote for the individuals they choose.

This developing story shows what a sham is "democracy", and not just lately.

The only difference from before is now you have politicians being self-righteous about gerrymandering.

It’s not a war if only one side ( the Democrats ) is fighting.
