Obama is against gerrymandering

[Seymour Flops]

This is Barbara Jordon, elected to Congress in Texas long before a federal court ordered Texas to Gerrymander a district that could only be won by a black person. Known locally as "The Sheila Jackson Lee District."

Jordon did not need that kind of Affirmative Action, and neither does Texas. The ruling was overturned, so now we can make our districts normal again.

Nitpicking a bit, but Jordan was a Texas woman, not a Southern woman.

Bullshit, there is of course gerry-mandaring on both sides, but Republican controlled states are BY FAR the biggest offenders and there is no precedent on Democratic side for the scope of what Texas Republicans are up to this year.

It is these BRAZEN Republican power grabs that force Democrats into recieprocation.

Texas Republicans are not responding to something supposedly unfair that Democrats did, they simply want more Congressional seats and power for Trump and they shamelessly say so. There is no other reason and we are opening yet another can of shit in American politics where all that matters is power grabbing as much as you can, which ever way you can.
