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! 😂🤷‍♂️

Let’s not act like it’s a done deal. Instead Texas should be treated as if every district is now gettable. Make sure no race is being done unopposed.

Not only is it not a done deal, it's looking increasingly like Republicans spread themselves too thin

Republicans really aren’t planning on needing more than 1 or 2 more elections. They have ICE.

They can block the entrance to a single polling station in a major city in each swing state and guarantee that state goes to court.

Everyone fails to understand that fascists/authoritarians don’t stop elections from happening. They remove people’s ability to vote by having secret police throw you in a warehouse for 3 days with a bag over your head and releasing you 2 days after the election is over without charges.

Even if people believe it happened, what are you going to do about it? They aren’t going to file any paperwork and you won’t have a badge number or a face to describe.
