President Trump and Republicans made big inroads with Hispanic voters in Texas last year. Now, a newly approved redistricting plan will test whether those gains are locked in for good.

I'm thinking that by focusing on Hispanics for six months without regard to legality, this might change perceptions. However, once in MAGA, breaking out resembles escaping a dangerous cult—facts are rejected irrationally regardless of evidence. They think like sports fans, not accepting criticism.

Kristi Noem’s voter outreach program with Latinos is probably helping to keep those numbers up.

Hard to vote when the racist felon you elected has his secret police whisk you and anyone who looks like you away to a foreign prison but sure, I guess “we’ll see”…

Considering the policy now is that racial profiling is okay, any Hispanic person in Texas is liable to be snatched off the street and detained. But they voted for this, so I'd beware. It's scary times for anyone if color.

The GOP spent 2024 telling us exactly what they were going to do if elected. I tire of voters saying they weren’t expecting this. We were all expecting this. This is what they promised. And don’t worry, it’s going to get worse. #GOP #voters #Election

The folks the Republicans targeted are counting on those same people? Folks do tend to vote against their own self interests, though. That's how we got here.

I think they want to be white or white proximal. They don’t realize the WP they are dealing with will drop them like a hot potato if they don’t need them.

Not Democrats. Americans. Everyone seems to skip over the part where people keep getting disenfranchised until voting doesn’t matter anymore.

This is a pattern. Regular people work at NPR during the week, then Red, a retired MAGA just keeping himself busy in retirement, works the news desk on the weekends.
