Texas Ignores New Demographics; New Congressional Map Boosts White Voter Advantage: Report - TRMS

[Rhiannon12866]

Rachel Maddow shares reporting by the Texas Tribune on how Texas Republicans have redrawn the state's congressional map to increase the number of majority white districts, reduce the number of majority Hispanic districts, and eliminate the one majority Black district, even as an increase in people of color is responsible for Texas gaining two seats in Congress. Aired on 10/21/2021.

1. This kind of unfair BS just keeps happening.

Then Republicans will squawk about "states' rights" to keep doing it.

If they openly had lynchings, they'd try to argue it was within their rights under some state bill called "They Needed Killin".

2. The obvious bigotry and flouting of the law has become the norm since TFG

He did it each and every day - including both before and after his term - and since their "leader" got away with it, his enablers and supporters look on this as "permission." That's why it's so important that the January 6th Committee acts now.

5. Long before TFG

When we place today's republicans under some trumpian spell we ignore trump is just the result of a cancer that's been festering. Are we really ignoring the Tea Party?
