Redistricting is horrible no matter who does it. I think people are tired of the tribalism from both wings. Gerrymandering isnt anything new. It should have been banned long ago. It isnt a new problem just because the Republicans are gaining a lead, it was always an issue and still is one.
I think it’s a main point for Trump
It could. But it also counts on people staying exactly the same as they are now, which history tells us isn’t likely. It’s not like republicans are getting more popular. That’s why they’re doing this. It’s because they’re less and less popular with every election. Unfortunately, the same goes for Democrats, so … time will tell.
Here in South Carolina they’ve run the state for decades. Try to point out problems to the locals and they blame everyone else. All identity as R’s and literally call Dems demoncrats. Go to the polls and most offices we have no Dem choices. Idiots.
It’ll actually come down to the economy, so domestic observers think the Texas redistricting will only net 2 seats by itself (out of 435). With just the likely California countermove (requiring voters though), that advantage is nullified.
Potential plot twist: If California voters reject that fair and square, … it’s a brand new ball game. The Democrats will have to move further right, and the left go along upon pain of “blacklisting” 1950s HUAC [powered by AI] style. Remember the U.S. is not a parliamentary system and gravitates to 2 parties.
The red wave in 2010 involved something like a 60 seat pickup for the Republicans in the house. This kind of gerrymandering push might wind up in a net advantage in the house in theory, but if people are dissatisfied enough with Republicans, it could lead to a greater net pickup for democrats in wave elections by making Republican districts more competitive on average.
This has been the plan for a long while. It’s called Red Map.
This is /r/geopolitics which doesn’t cover domestic USA politics.
Democrats typically get most of their support from urban areas, where the population is more concentrated. In contrast Republican support is rural and more dispersed. This makes it easier for Republicans to gerrymander than Democrats and gives them an overall advantage .. one they are unlikely to relinquish.
