They know they are losing their popularity with the majority of Americans because of Trump's policies and his Brown Shirt loyalists in the GOP. So, Trump is urging them to redraw to find as many areas and neighborhoods with a lot of aged 50 white men as possible to make up the majority in extra districts. It's not about what the majority wants, it's about keeping control by shutting out the voices and votes of the majority, which is the only way they stand a chance. I hope it backfires, because we don't need Trump Brown Shirts controlling Texans any more. I just hope Hispanics finally realize Trump isn't going to make their life better. He's already lost the majority of black voters, so you know those districts will have all kinds of crooked turns to minimize their majorities in populated areas.
We need to turn Texas Blue. Watching John Cornyn's commercials sure as heck isn't doing himself any favors saying he aligns with Trump 99% of the time. Just another Brown Shirt Bootlicker like Cruz, Abbott, Paxton, Crenshaw, and the rest. He kills me bringing up about keeping trans out of sports on his commercials. Why do Republicans make sure they tout that like it's some huge need or benefit? That should be the least of anyone's concerns. Trans people make up less than less than 0.002% (10/500,000) of US college athletes, and even fewer of recent Olympians (0.001%) identify as trans. Not only that, but I doubt men are at a disadvantage of a woman transitioning to a man in sports, and probably a big percentage of men wanting to transition to a woman aren't even into sports. We have far more important issues, like healthcare, the problems in nursing homes and care centers, the cost of healthcare, the unreliability of our energy grid, and pollution. Nothing about that makes me feel safe during hurricane season. Now we have Republicans backing Trump in cutting the regs on fossil fuels and proposing to allow industries to spew more chemicals, and spew them more freely, while calling global warming and climate change a hoax. We already rank #1 in the nation for harmful chemicals in our water, and they are just hell bent on turning Texas into a toxic waste site full of cancer alleys and sick people all around this state, with air that stinks, water more toxic, and fish less safe to eat. Even more sickening is he wants immigrant detention centers in Texas like the one in Florida. He says that on his website. Oh hell no. I'm all against spending 450 million of Texas tax dollars to house illegals. We already have to worry about with billion dollar hurricanes becoming more frequent, and other crap. We can't even get enough funding for things that are needed already like garbage trucks, road repairs, and more needed storm drainage. https://publichealthwatch.org/newsletter/texas-ranks-highest-for-harmful-chemicals-in-water/
