Gerrymandering during a blue/red wave is horrible for the opposing party. If you’re pissing off a lot of people (voters), consolidating, not diluting, is the way to go. They’re so incompetent, they can’t even CHEAT properly!
Edit: spelling
Dummymandering
For decades, GOP relied on redistricting as a safety net. Now that growth and demographic shifts are eroding that advantage, suddenly even map redraw isn’t a guaranteed win anymore.
Democrats need to understand the evolution of the Latino population. To win back Texas and Latino districts, Democrats miss the boat. They see them as poor and in search of better lives yet many are in search of higher education, business loans, etc just like the rest of the population. Americans don’t focus on how many Latinos are executives in Fortune 500’s, surgeons, and patriots in every war going back to the American Revolution. They want advancement, not pity. They are our white and brown patriots. Read [„LatinoLand“](https://www.amazon.com/LatinoLand-Portrait-Americas-Understood-Minority/dp/1982184892)
people saying this will backfire are wrong. at worst Rs don’t win some of these seats. they’ll still have more seats than they do today. to truly defeat a well done gerrymander takes a 10 point win statewide which simply won’t happen in a state like TX where there are so many diehard republicans.
They spent years breaking up blue districts and diluting them with rural red voters. Now they’re making one last ditch effort, which further spreads the red in a deepening purple state.
There will be a tipping point, especially if the cultural zeitgeist finally realizes that most people hate conservatives‘ policies and overstate their own conservative lean to not be harassed by the most vocal regressives. This pattern ripples through our political discourse, where people and politicians assume their neighbors are more conservative than they truly are.
Maybe thst’s good news in disguise?
State-wide positions in Texas have „progressively“ become closer and closer. Gerrymandering does dilute House seats up to a point, but we are reaching the threshold of it flipping blue.
This doesn’t require red voters to turn blue. It only requires blue voters to vote, but certainly every red voter who turns blue helps.
I’m hoping Talarico, who won in a red district, can flip the vote.
They’ll just cheat more.
Poll watchers!
I was against Texas redistricting, but now with with Democrats running significantly better than Republicans this may blow up in their face.
That Tennessee house race last week was +22 Trump at the presidential election, and now its just +6 Republican. That’s a 16-point swing.
Texas please, drop those safe +8 Republican districts to + 5 Republican districts for these midterms.
