I loves me some texan because them dumbshits does all I tells them to does. And yes, you can change your name from Texas to TRUMP. Texas is becoming my little Police State with over 18,000 Immigration Agents.

Public opinion in Texas regarding the proposed redistricting plans is largely divided along partisan lines, with strong opposition from Democrats and support from Republicans.¹

Here’s a breakdown:

Democrats’ View:

• Strong Opposition: Texas Democrats are vocally against the new maps, which they see as a “Trump map” and an “unprecedented power grab.”² They accuse Republicans of seeking to disenfranchise Black and Hispanic communities and dilute their voting power.³
• “Rigged System”: Democrats argue that the redistricting process is rushed and unfair, designed to “rig the rules of our elections” and “drown out voters’ voices.”⁴
• Quorum Break: In a dramatic move, many Democratic lawmakers have left the state to deny the Texas House the necessary quorum to vote on the new maps, hoping to block their passage.⁵
• Legal Challenges: They intend to fight the maps in court, arguing that they violate the Voting Rights Act by packing voters of color into certain districts or spreading them out to reduce their influence.⁶

Republicans’ View:

• Partisan Purpose: Republican lawmakers have openly stated that the new maps are drawn for “partisan purposes” to give the GOP a greater chance of controlling more congressional districts, explicitly aiming to pick up five new Republican-leaning seats.⁷
• Addressing Concerns: While some Republican leaders, including Governor Greg Abbott, were initially reluctant to pursue mid-decade redistricting, they proceeded after pressure from President Donald Trump and citing “constitutional concerns” about the current maps.⁸
• Legitimate Process: Republicans maintain that their actions are legal and necessary, dismissing concerns about the speed of the process.

Overall Public Sentiment:

• Public hearings have seen significant opposition to the proposed maps, with a large percentage of those who signed up to comment being against the bill.⁹
• The redistricting effort has become a highly contentious issue, drawing national attention and support for Texas Democrats from Democratic leaders across the country.¹⁰

In essence, Texans are not unified in their opinion of Trump’s redistricting plans. The support for the plans comes primarily from the Republican party, which holds the majority in the state legislature, while Democrats and many members of the public strongly oppose them, viewing them as a partisan gerrymander that undermines democratic principles.¹¹
