Donld Trump and maga Republicans are cheating when they call for more gerrymandering. Democrats must fight fire with fire

1984❓❗ Just when I thought it couldn’t get any worse, it gets worse. Echo opinion letter published in the Philadelphia Inquirer.

By order of cult leader Donald Trump, Texas is attempting to rig the 2026 midterms. 

Due to his poll numbers tanking, Trump is rightly afraid of losing the GOP hold on Congress. 

So, Texas decides to stack the deck (aka "cheat") by redrawing the voting map to flip what would otherwise be five Democratic seats.

Currently, Texas has 25 GOP members and 12 Democrats (plus one vacancy) in Congress. The GOP has an 88-62 majority in the Texas House of Representatives. 

How is this possible when voter registration in Texas is 46% Democrat and 37% Republican? This does not pass the smell test by any measure. So is our U.S. attorney general looking into this blatant attempt to further disenfranchise hundreds of thousands of Texas voters? Of course not. They’re investigating the New York attorney general to see if the civil rights of their cult leader were violated.

Certainly, the possibility that the civil rights of a white billionaire who’s been accused of cheating on his taxes, big time,❗ outweighs the voting rights of the thousands of Black and brown Texans who are getting boat raced by the dictatorship of the minority that rules in Texas. Stop this ride — I wanna get off.

Maine Writer postscript:  Democrats cannot let this gerrymandering change the will of voters who are fed up with Donald Trump's authoritiarianism and his desire to be a dictator for life.  Democratic states can also reditrict in reponse to the Texas cheating.  Fight 🔥fire with 🔥❗
