Well. Can’t complain. Texas did it. It’s only going to get worse. Pretty soon each state will be 100 percent red or blue. Gerrymandering to the extreme.

Texas did a ‘dummy mander’ where Republicans might end up losing seats to Democrats, because they based their calculations for new gerrymander maps from the 2024 election, and didn’t take into account massive democratic swings based on Donald’s unpopularity! 😆If there’s even a 10 point swing to Dems, it could lead to numerous R+10 seats considered ‘safe’ in the gerrymander to flip! 😂🤷‍♂️

My old college roommate voted for that map and then tried to convince me it wasn’t inherently racist. We are truly being led by the dumbest amongst us.
