Good news: White liberals who support Mexican fascists will lose their seats for their treason.
Remember folks, it’s only racist if White people do it!
Won’t happen.
One area where the Republicans generally are actually smart is in redistricting.
Here’s how it works - the GOP knows that there have to be a few minority-majority districts, otherwise there will be no end to lawsuits under the Voting Rights Act and related legislation. Other states have already lost those sorts of lawsuits, so the precedent would go against Texas if they just decide to make “normal” districts like we’d all want to see.
So, what can the GOP do? They can stuff as many minorities into a handful of districts as they can, creating those wellknown snake-like districts that the Dems win by 85+% every election.
The upside to this is that, in doing so, a larger number of districts are created which the GOP can more easily win with ~55% each election.
Ironically, minority-majority districts actually end up helping the GOP out in the long run. Create 4-5 hardcore Dem districts, but you get 15-20 easy-to-win districts for the GOP.
That’s going to be what happens - this Hispanic plan will be quietly tossed in the wastecan.
Hispanics are 37% of the population. Whites are 46% of the population. Neither are majorities, but neither are really minorities either.
So, when do we stop creating “majority-minority” districts for “minorities” that have larger populations?
Neither is good news.
Sounds like racism to me.
No, since when do elections matter-the Democrats lost, they do not get to expand (especially with racist districts like this)..rather than by promotion of ideas!
How about NO gerrymandered districts ?
Program a computer to create districts that have an equal number of citizens (+/- 1%), that had the smallest possible boundary length, and were contiguous.
Having lived in a racially gerrymandered district, this type of BS disenfranchises citizens. Writing my congresscritter is a total waste of time. She’s a racist communist, so we don’t have much in common.
Just because some group came up with a plan doesn’t mean the Republicans will adopt it. They will gerrymander the districts just like the democrats do when they hold both houses.
Ambitious: yes.
Likely to happen? No.
