Prepare to be crushed by California you cheating scum.
I hope they do, but even if they do, that is still only a net zero gain and California has to put theirs to a public vote. Texas will get sued for the redistricting being blatantly along racial lines but it will have to play out in the courts which is a crapshoot at this point. Its still a net loss in the end imo. They should have kept the quorum break up imo. Yes, I know they were being penalized but there was enough external support infrastructure to get them through that.
Newsom only wants to match Texas by adding 5 blue seats, it's pure theatre.
If he was serious he'd squeeze California for all the seats he could get, but he's just keeping the field level with what it is right now. The problem is, the way it is now is already heavily right leading nationwide.
California needs to cancel out more than just Texas.
That is why other states are doing this?
In this universe where we cannot have nice things, the CA changes will be overturned by their own Supreme Court.
Because this is the worst of all possible worlds.
ETA: I was wrong, the CA Supreme Court has shown that a far worse fate is in store for us.
I hope I'm wrong. But the history of the Democratic party tells me they will either half ass it or completely fail at it.
At this point I see them as a party that pretends to be resisting than actually resisting. They are either purposely distracting or completely incompetent.
I really really hope I'm wrong. We need actual legislation and not just tweets. So I'll continue to give them the trust they deserve until they prove otherwise. I am rooting for them though. I really am.
In this timeline?? Really? After all that has already happened this year, somehow we are still going to hope that California actually follows thru, the federal or supreme somehow don't mess it all up? I don't believe anymore. Reality has turned into a sick Murphy's law nightmare.
What do you expect me to do? Get up off my ass and go do something?
Texas sucks 71 billion from the federal government, guess how much California gives to the federal government
From what I can tell, TX and CA both pay in more to the fedgov than they take out. The Southeast takes out a lot more than it pays in though.

We'll see. Newsom is a centrist and centrists are allergic to keeping their promises.
