Donald Trump failed to intimidate California Gavin Newsom and now Democrats can carve a highway to the White House (if it still exists after Trump demolishes the place)

Thank you 🙏Governor Gavin Newsom of California:

Opinion letters published in the Los Angeles Times: 

Prop 50 support even did better than Kamala Harris in certain California counties. 

Congressional Redistricting won with 6,550,062 votes- 64.1%❗✅

To the editor: I’m pleased that Proposition 50 passed in California by a wide margin, although it was a case where I had to hold my nose as I voted to support the ballot measure (“California voters pass anti-Trump, pro-Democrat Prop. 50,” Nov. 4). The manipulation of congressional district boundaries for purely partisan reasons is anti-democratic and ultimately harmful to a free system of government. On the other hand, no democracy can long survive if all constituents aren’t playing by the same rules.

When Texas Republicans kowtowed to Donald Trump’s demands and obediently gerrymandered their state to gain five partisan seats, they left California and other left-leaning states with no choice but to respond in kind.

I am at least comforted that California followed the democratic process and put the proposed changes to the state’s congressional maps to a public vote. In Texas, the partisan gerrymandering was done behind closed doors and without a vote of the people.

To the editor: What could have been the cost if California did not respond to Trump’s effort to manipulate voting, enabling him and the Republicans to maintain control of the country❓

Meanwhile, (apparantly tone deaf❗) Califrnia Republicans are suing to challenge Proposition 50. But wait❗Where was the outrage and legal action when Trump induced Texas and other states to redistrict as a power grab without voter approval❓ If California did not act, does anyone question whether anyone would stand in Trump’s way of further redistricting to add to the Republican advantage, giving him even more power❓
