Back when I was a baby republican (read: a parentally brainwashed child) and just learning about gerrymandering in school, my reaction was basically “well that’s shitty, but at least it’s the people I like doing it”.
I’m pretty sure that’s very common thinking amongst hardened republicans. I don’t even know how you convince someone to not be like that either, I just changed when I was out from under my parents boot and finally allowed to learn about the political effects of racism.
Tldr; common think pattern leads me to believe Texas is fucked until reepublicans lose their power there.

Why is it never the weird arm? That thing had some levels of body horror to it.
