Gerrymandering during a blue/red wave is horrible for the opposing party. If you’re pissing off a lot of people (voters), consolidating, not diluting, is the way to go. They’re so incompetent, they can’t even CHEAT properly!

For decades, GOP relied on redistricting as a safety net. Now that growth and demographic shifts are eroding that advantage, suddenly even map redraw isn’t a guaranteed win anymore.

Democrats need to understand the evolution of the Latino population. To win back Texas and Latino districts, Democrats miss the boat. They see them as poor and in search of better lives yet many are in search of higher education, business loans, etc just like the rest of the population. Americans don’t focus on how many Latinos are executives in Fortune 500’s, surgeons, and patriots in every war going back to the American Revolution. They want advancement, not pity. They are our white and brown patriots. Read [“LatinoLand”](https://www.amazon.com/LatinoLand-Portrait-Americas-Understood-Minority/dp/1982184892)

people saying this will backfire are wrong. at worst Rs don’t win some of these seats. they’ll still have more seats than they do today. to truly defeats a well done gerrymander takes a 10 point win statewide which simply won’t happen in a state like TX where there are so many diehard republicans.
