THERE IS NO "presumption of legislative good faith"
to which the TEXAS GQP Legislature is entitled!!!!
(as they have proven again and again)!!!!

Stupid fucking "Republican Rigged" Supreme Court---
wriggling out of their own previous decisions about racial gerrymandering with this BULLSHIT---

Well, ok FINE----

As these 5 new Texas districts were drawn based on Latino support
for Trump in 2024, which has completely dissolved and reversed at this point,
I think that the Democratic candidate will win ALL of those!

(AND, as they may have weakened other GQP seats
attempting to achieve their hoped-for result,
they may have thrown other seats into contention,
especially in the face of a BLUE TSUNAMI ) !!!!!

TEXAS is a 'low voter turnout' state---
that has often been cited as the Democratic party's problem in that state--

and I think the national party, and the Texas Democratic party,
should exert every possible resource to turn out
Texas Democrats and independents for the 2026 midterms,
and show the entire country what a Republican dummy-mander looks like!


(What might the Texas election look like,
if the Trump vote is reversed by 13 or 15 percentage points
similar to the recent off-year elections??)


Let 'the Alamo' be defended by Republicans in 2026----
and be overwhelmed by 'the mexicans' who had outlawed slavery---
(in a manner of speaking)!
