If Texas is such a stronghold for Republicans, then why do they wanna gerrymander it some more? 🙄

We know why. They are quite aware they are going to lose MANY seats as a result of the midterm elections.

Perhaps they’re a bit nervous. The gaps in some Congress votes are getting smaller. Or the obvious—greed.

It would be hilarious if they gerrymandered some more and still lost. Trump might have a hard-core base, but a lot of it was pretty soft support. And his coattails reaching to crappy congress wannabes? Questionable.

Oh! I LOOOVED Ann Richards! I lived in TX back when she was governor. Then that village idiot, Dubya, became gov and the state has steadily gone down the tubes since.

By all accounts, Texas has been heading in the direction of becoming a blue state, for about a decade. They know they won't be able to hold on to it forever, especially with all the new people moving in from more liberal-minded areas.

Because gun violence, climate change, electrical grid problems, local property taxes and ICE overreach have turned red to purple and purple to blue in TX.

It is an amazing display of fear. If they felt confident of what they do for their state, and what Pettyman Smallcock is doing for the country, this would be unnecessary. The action proves the terror.

They are running scared. Let me tell you the Texas thinks that they are going to decide the next election. They’re full of shit, and if I was living in Texas, which I never would because it’s a shit hole state I would be voting out every goddamn republican there is including that asshole governor

Right? They saw the unpopularity of Trumps regime and areas turning purple or outright blue, so had to try and rig it by redistricting.

You don't engage in hardcore gerrymandering and voter supression because you're afraid of losing an election. You do it because you're afraid of losing EVERY election.

Many white Texans have married mexican people and their families are very much tied up with one another. They thought only gangsters would be deported. The fascism scares them as they don't even know what it means! Texas women are known as penis suckers everyday, all day!

To give GOP Congress more votes for Trump. Redistricting only is suppose to happen after a US Census. Texas GOP are manipulating to give Trump a bigger House majority

He’s afraid of a loss. He’ll be impeached and likely found guilty then removed from office if power shifts. People are angry and want him gone. He knows this.

TX GOP has done sooo much terrible governing, yet they always get reelected statewide. No Dem has been elected statewide since 1994. Now, GOP sees very little risk & plenty of reward from Trump for being his lackeys. ONE statewide loss would be so helpful to show TX GOP they aren't invincible!
