So...Texas is Down a Few Legislators

Did you like it when Democrats wiped out about 3 Republican seats under her watch?

 

Cancun Ted Cruz thinks charging them is a great idea.

 

Do you think the POTUS giving at speech at Independence Hall in Philly calling his opposition a threat to democracy probably told Democrats in New York they were good to do it?

 

Not a big Ted Cruz fan but did you see that Ted was the person that rushed over to Liz Warren to help her up after she fell on the Senate floor?

 

Hopefully this happens.

It's not going to work. Repubs are going to get wiped out in 2026. But I do hope CA and NY counter Texas with new maps of their own.

 

Wow. You really fell for that? Republicans drew the maps in Texas in 2021 too (and 2011 and 2001). They draw districts like that as vote sinks. They are protecting all of the districts around that district by packing every Democrat that they can into that district so that they don't make too many competitive districts.

 

I guess you don't understand how gerrymandering works.

 

Uhh ... who do you think drew up that legislative map to siphon off parts of San Antonio and Austin into a super blue district?

 

amazing. The Democrats stole the seat that the republicans gerrymander. They broke into the gerrymander safe and redid the boundaries when the republicans werent looking! Massive gerrymander fail!!!

 

And its gone....

 

guess what? Tweet deleted!!!

 

the twitter poster figured his own stupidity out before monk did

 

Keep parroting everything you see on Twitter. It's hilarious

 

The blue states like California and New York have triggers in place to move forward IF Texas goes through with this. This prompted republican legislators in those states, along with Abbott, to start whining about Democrats “stealing” Republican seats. Again blue states will only do this if Texas follows through.

Having said that I’m amazed that in Texas, that is already heavily gerrymandered, would consider doing this because all they’re doing is making secure Republican seats more competitive. This shows me that this must be a DJT ordered move because as always he doesn’t think things through.

 

This is what I dream about all the time.

Government not showing up.

 

Are you an anarchist? That aside, the government does show up but it only manages to show up for the wealthy and connected.
