Democrats' Sudden Freakout Over Gerrymandering Is Starting to Make Sense...
Democrats' Sudden Freakout Over Gerrymandering Is Starting to Make Sense...
Texas Democrats flee to Illinois over gerrymandering debate amid political tensions.
Texas Democrats have fled the state. They don’t want to give the state legislature a quorum to pass a congressional map that favors Republicans. So, they decided to seek refuge in Illinois, a gerrymandered state in the country. The irony is almost as bad as the MLB moving the All-Star game out of Atlanta in 2021 over Georgia’s voter integrity laws. The game was held in Colorado that year, a state with voter ID laws.
Gerrymandering did not begin under Donald Trump, which seems to ooze from all the whining and shouting from Democrats about the Texas map. The good news is that this isn’t going to become a thing like Wendy Davis’ abortion filibuster. No one cares about this, and the messaging has already cooked Democrats, as even the legacy media thinks they fled. These communication breakdowns happen when you lack a plan, a clear message, or a leader.

In Illinois, the state where these Texas cowards fled to fight an unfair map, they redistricted their maps, with the intent of squeezing out Republicans. I don’t think any state representatives fled to prevent that map from being made official, because Republicans aren’t insane (via AP):

California even redrew its maps in 2021 to help Democrats keep their then-majority on the Hill (via Politico):

The problem for Democrats is that there aren’t enough states to gerrymander. They’re tapped out, with deportations increasing, and blue states poised to lose electoral votes due to declining populations, the lifeblood of the Democratic Party is being drained, and they don’t know what to do. It’s what happens when you think demography is destiny. It’s not. The five new districts the GOP would supposedly claim with Texas’ new map are majority Hispanic.

Commentary:
There's no doubt that Democrats are fearful that if Texas accomplices a redistricting, other Red States may do the same thus destroying the power that DSA Marxist Democrats have rigged over the decades.
The biased Quisling media has redefined the term gerrymandering to mean anything favorable to Republicans. The shape of the districts on the map, whether they follow municipal or county borders in a natural way or whether they are even contiguous is irrelevant when Democrats "redistrict" their voting constituencies.
This is not the first time cowardly State Democrat Representatives have done this.

The squealing and caterwauling of Democrats is directly proportional to the scope of the communists’ gerrymandering for the past 80 years, while the feckless, impotent GOP sat quietly and sucked its collective thumb as indicated by the Democrats gerrymandering state as shown in the Twitter posting above.
