Gerrymandering is war...Trump and Abbott are weaponizing maps in Texas to carve out five GOP seats before 2026 midterms. Blue states are armed and ready. This isn’t elections; it’s a full-blown power siege. www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnb...

I think we are moving closer to the confrontation stage of Trump’s attempt to take over America. But the more aggressive Trump becomes, the weaker he seems. The lower his popularity. Trump almost has nothing left to do but deploy more thugs against Americans. But that won’t end well for him.

They need to stop talking about it and get it done already. It’s way past time, stop watching the enemy continue to make their moves strategically and tactically, while watching like a deer caught staring at the oncoming headlights of a tank. Engage!

This is the wonderful election system we have created in the United States, and we call it a democracy. We move closer and closer to Russia every day, with our own little dictator, secret police, and compliant government (congress, supreme court, and cabinet).

Gov Greg AbBUTT is not a true Christian by the way he treats people. He has done the most InHumane things, killing even Children. All the RepubliKKKans want is their Greed Of Power, using Pro-Lieing Propaganda to Rule & Control the USA with OPPRESSION - cause they're Unempathicly Evil Fascists! 😈🤑🔥☠️

We need all blue states fighting political fire with political fire. Keeping the playing field level, even tilting it our way, is key to combating the playbook they used in the last election. baby hooey keeps talking about the election being stolen, when it was his cronies that partook in 2024.

We Dems have to fight back. However, those Republicons wanting to carve out 5 new seats in Texas may be surprised in November 2026. People in Texas may have had enough of the lies, inflation, and job losses and vote against the Republicons or not vote at all.
