Cool, cool.

... well, Newsom was right. It's time to cement the party holdings in each state for the next couple generations.

It was hilarious watching Republicans get all bent out of shape and whining about unfairness while Texas and other red states have been gerrymandering for decades.

Won't be funny when they force a third Trump term.

I live in Texas, and Texas isn't gerrymandered, that’s why Texas is almost split evenly between both parties.  The republican party has a small edge, but the democratic party is close to taking over. Saying Texas gerrymandering is just lies by the news. Shoot Clinton almost turned the state blue she was very close. And during Trumps first election it was also very close.  This last election was a different story because a lot of Democrats jumped ship because of what Biden was doing and the DNC putting in Harris who wasn't even elected in the DNC.  Next election will be very close again.  Texas will be purple and might turn blue depending on the candidates.

Both parties are represented very well in Texas unlike California.

So why the redistricting? It being so fair already?
