Redistricting -- and even gerrymandering -- has been going on for hundreds of years how can you tell when redistricting is fascism?

Based on this data, do you think the people of Texas are fairly represented ? Total Registered Voters: 17,485,702 Democrats: 8,133,683 (46.52%) Republicans: 6,601,189 (37.75%) Unaffiliated: 2,750,830 (15.73%) House seats by party: Republicans -83 Democrats -67

Texas elects Republican senators and governors in statewide races, so it seems the actual voters favor Republicans.

House seats are not statewide but district by district races. That's why gerrymandering skews representation. It's done by both sides but overly abused by Republicans. All I'm trying to illustrate is that gerrymandering has resulted in minority rule.

There is no such thing as "party vote" in the US and suggesting that there is (or people behave this way) is politically illiterate. eg. if there was a 'party vote' Trump would've lost in 2016 and 2024 because a huge number of people who voted for Trump split tickets.

Can you show examples of gerrymandering in fascist Italy or Nazi Germany?

At what point didi I say that the only indicator of fascism is gerrymandering? It is but one way of bringing a fascist agenda about.

Well, fascism has a specific meaning. Do you have any evidence of fascist countries using gerrymandering?

Well I can't show examples of American fascist gassing Jewish people by the millions.... must not actually be fascists. The type of gerrymandering they are engaged in is an example of their rejection of democracy, one tennant of fascism. Even if other fascists didn't do it doesn't make it less.

No, I'm looking for specific instances of fascists using gerrymandering. Should be pretty easy since you declared this to be fascist. My point is that you don't really know what fascism is other than it's something you don't like.

Gerrymandering is not even possible most places in the world, it doesn't mean it's not fascist. Fascism is not an action, it's an ideology. Throwing a sandwich could be fascisim if done by a fascist with the intention of furthering fascism. Or it can be anti-fascist if thrown at an ICE agent.

So when Democrats gerrymander, that could be fascist.

Absolutely, if the Democrats were pushing a far right adgenda. More likely a Democrat would be doing it to help further a far left stalinist/communist objective. Most gerrymandering is not so severe. But done with the express intent to allow one man to consolidate power is definitely fascism.

So if it were done for Woodrow Wilson or FDR or LBJ to consolidate power, that would clearly be Democratic fascism.

If it is not bipartisan it’s fascism.

Oh, hey, it's this tool again! I recognize you! Gerrymandering is, indeed, widely practiced and immoral. If you can't see the difference when the president explicitly says "Find me 5 seats," you might be a fascist! Not to mention, there's only one party pushing legislation to fix the issue.

The claim was that it was fascism. Gerrymandering is not fascism. Actual fascists are concerned about winning just one election. Then they don't need to worry about subsequent elections because they don't have them.

I think the claim was that this administration has fascist aspirations; this mid-cycle push for redistricting is just the tool being used to solidify power. The one election was November 4th, 2024. Now they're focused on fixing the next one.

Well, we've already talked about reading comprehension. I know that interpretation is hard, but you've got it in you buddy!

Yes, you need to work on your comprehension. Dude.

How many times was it presidentially ordered (in public) before a mid-term election, 4 years after re-apportionment?

It's even worse when it's done without being told. Classic Gleichschaltung.

You realize Texas was +11 gerrymandered for Republicans in 2020, lol? Gleichschaltung indeed. Who is the personality cult that Gavin Newsom is synchronizing with, do you think? LOL.

Gavin Newsom is synchronizing with a cult? That doesn't sound good.
