California AND NOW NEW YORK is ready to redraw their districts since Texas is doing the fascist power grab for Trump.

[RIP U.S. Democracy]

The same kind of backfire could also happen to the Republicans in Texas. Aggressive gerrymandering is always a risk.

California had a voter initiative that modified their Constitution to take the drawing of legislative districts out of the hands of the state legislature. I don't see how they can now get around that.

What I mainly want to see happen is those Texas legislators who fled the state be kicked out of their jobs. That's what the Democrats really deserve to have happen to them.

That is a very astute point that Abbott and the rest of the dumb **** Repugs in Texas don't seem to understand.

Look, the Repugs are going to get destroyed in the midterms next year. That's already obvious. Everyone hates the tariffs and the Big Ugly Bill. If Texas creates 5 more districts that currently favor Trump by 10% - 15%, then they will be in danger of losing those 5 districts next year.

Here ya go. The governor of California and now the Governor of New York is ready to move. ROCK, THE **** ON!!!!

California: 52 seats
Texas: 38 seats
New York: 26 seats

And all this is happening to keep a felon/pedophile out of prison (and to hurt brown people).

Nothing displays ignorance like this OP. Democrats have been doing this for decades. In Illinois, Democrats make up 45% of the vote. However, they have gerrymandered this state to control the vast majority of seats in the House. Look up District 13 in the State of Illinois to see one example of many. It is a joke.

What a joke. 11 of the 15 worst gerrymandered states are controlled by MAGA Republicans. It's obvious who the biggest sinners are when it comes to gerrymandering.

The facts matter....just not to MAGA Nazis. --

I don't think it will it's possible the shirt but diluting districts with more Democrat voters is the only way you can go because they're concentrated for whatever reason the cities seem to be the places where Democrats are.

Look, the Repugs are going to get destroyed in the midterms next year.

Well it's possible certainly but it's possible they clean up in the midterms we don't know

That's already obvious. Everyone hates the tariffs and the Big Ugly Bill.

I'm not sure that they do

If Texas creates 5 more districts that currently favor Trump by 10% - 15%, then they will be in danger of losing those 5 districts next year.

There has been a lot of movement from other states to Texas so it would stand a reason that they need more districts. They are based on population.

That works both ways.....The Repug Nazis in TX are also diluting MAGA districts with their gerrymandering. And if the votes are fairly counted (highly unlikely with TX Nazis running the state), then it could bite them in the ass.

Yup

Trump will do evil shit regardless.

Luce:

Democrats, non-Maga Republicans and Independents need to more evil and more determined.

Mr. Trump is a cowarsly fool. Trumpty Dumpty had a great fall...

Cheers and be well.

Then we'll have a war on our hands. Acquiescing to overturning the democracy isn't going to work as a strategy.

Variant:

People, even wise ones, seldom believe civil wars are possible in their time or see them coming before its too late to prevent them.

I honestly wish America luck and hope you all find a way to remove Mr. Trump and his coterie of dangerous, sycophantic toadies from power before it is too late..

I wish you well.

It's really not just that, we've got an entire corrupt system with that as a cherry on top.

Variant:

So organise and vote the bastards out. Then yank the weeds for the next six years. First item, a congressional law saying Money is not Free Speech and invoke the Exception Clause of your constitution to keep the SCOTUS from undoing the law. Then Campaign Finance reform. Then law(s( vesting state electoral map drawing to impartial state authorities which are watched like hawks and fired if they cross the non-partisan line. Then trials for the miscreants who brought you to this point. And then start rebuilding an American polis. Old men and women plant tree today which the will never sit under for the next generation. Replant the seeds of the American Republic.

Cheers and good fortune to you.

Presidents don't have the power to stop elections.

Aristaeus:

So far. Keep it that way, if you can. Turn enough Republicans and Independents and redistricting won't matter. Then undo the damage after the mid-terms.

Be well and be wise.

[Evilroddy]

No, that doesn't let trump do that. Republicans are far worse at Gerrymandering - if the court ends it, that benefits Democrats.

Craig234:
If.

[Craig234]

If.

Very unlikely, with this corrupt Supreme Court.
