    I’m talking about California, New York, Massachusetts, Maryland, Illinois. They just watch what’s coming in Texas as they plan to arrest elected politicians and ponder plans to counter act it.

    Republicans are going to do this. They WILL do it. Democrats are all talk.

      CA is already moving forward with theirs. IL will probably be able to get one or two more seats (it’s already heavily gerrymandered). NY will likely do so as well, but can’t change the maps in time for the 2026 midterms Maryland is also similarly gerrymandered like IL - maybe one more seat there.

        Maryland is currently gerrymandered in favor of the Republicans. At least one if not two seats there.

        IL could get rid of every Republican seat by making every district contain a little bit of Chicago

          Jesus Christ man

          “Why aren’t Democrats fighting back?”

          “They are”

          “I don’t believe it”

            It’s all talk, dude. Are you really that naive? When they fuck it up again, I’ll be back here to say I told you so. If I’m wrong, I’ll eat my hat.

            Every time the Dems have any sort of advantage they do nothing and blame the Republicans for it. In this situation, they will fail to make changes while the republicans are successful, and again they will blame the Republicans for their lack of tenacity.

            Trump pushed through his bill when the majority of people didn’t want it. What Democrat has ever even attempted a bill for universal healthcare?

            DOJ sues. Goes to SCOTUS. They let Texas do it and not California.

      It bears noting that the MA congressional delegation is already all Democrats, they can’t gerrymander an extra seat when they already have them all.

        True. That’s my mistake.

      Even Washington could potentially pick up an extra Democrat district. Every single one counts.

        I agree, but they aren’t doing that.
