President Donald Trump is pushing Republicans in Texas to redraw the state's congressional maps to help ensure the party keeps its majority in the U.S.
I remember when new Mexico a strong blue state gerrymandering and even though we a Lil guy republican cried and cried but we just said we playing by your rules fuck faces
Are you actually going to try to say that Democrats don’t engage in gerrymandering? Really?
Barack Obama wouldn’t tell California Democrats to gerrymander their map so they’d keep the house. He wouldn’t have to, because they’d do it anyway. Just like every other Democrat state would. And just like every other Republican state does. Trump telling Texas to do it is redundant because it’s something that Texas was going to do anyway.
And yes, Conservatives lose their shit when a Democrat does it. And Democrats lose their shit when a Republican does it. Because they both try to play the game under “Rules for thee, not for me” rules. But the fact of the matter is, for better or worse, gerrymandering is a part of our electoral system that both parties routinely engage in in order to maintain their majority.
It’s literally an example of “Don’t hate the player, hate the game”.
If Barack Obama
Told California Democrats
To gerrymander their map so he wouldn’t lose the House
Conservatives would have lost their goddamned minds.
(Again.)
Of course. Those two scenarios are totally different, though. As different as black and white …

Are Democrats ok with this or are they also losing their shit?
