Read the article I posted above. Your statement is false. It’s become more blue than ever.

Looking at Presidential returns going back to McCain and Romney, this doesn't hold up.

The National Dems need a lesson from these feisty Texas leaders. This is how you resist!

Their seats should be vacated. Let normal order punish these people who refuse to let the people's will be done.

The people’s will is to not say on live TV that you are disenfranchising them. Really, you should have higher standards.

They're not being disenfranchised. They're being given better treatment than Republicans in California get. But you don't care about that.

Actually that’s Oklahoma. And there’s rumors everywhere in Tulsa right now that the state may split into two separate states to add two additional R senators and two additional House seats.

You know this is not an easy thing to do. You know that, right?

Here is the utterly ridiculous map of Illinois where I live. Voters are 43% R but only get 3 out of 17 congressional seats due to this map. It's just a fact of life.

IL and MD are dem states that gerrymander.

EVERY GOP state gerrymanders.

See the difference?

They don't. Because they are delusional. Arguing facts and reason with MAGA is a waste of time.

They have always relied on dirty tricks. This is not recent.

There is a provision in the US Constitution that requires is passes both the state level and the US congress. I suppose if the red states want to do that, it would end the country as we know it.

This. the GOP cannot win on ideas or policy, so it resorts to disenfranchising and cheating.

You must not have because otherwise you would have never made the comment above.

How’s that going to work? A Texas arrest warrant is a meaningless piece of paper in Illinois.

How will they come back to vote if they get arrested upon arrival? Talk about cutting off your nose to spite your face. TX Republicans are morons.

The arrest warrants are to bring them to the legislature.
