Well?

They dont, but they can squeeze more power out of the states they control to match the blue states who have already done this.

Oh, you see what you said there? Squeeze more power.

It's not about democracy at all. It's about circumventing the voters in red states. They're making sure only Republicans get elected in "red" states.

Yep. Same as every blue state has been doing for forever. Fair is fair.

Republicans get 35-40% of the vote in Massachusetts and how much representation do they have in Congress? 0. 0 senators, 0 representatives. The dems are the masters of the gerrymander. Texas is just evening things out. There is WAY more that can be gerrymandered in red states, like Florida, Indiana, Ohio, and Missouri, so the dems better be careful if they want to start a gerrymander war.

Lemme repeat it: if he won in a landslide, why do they have to gerrymander red states right before the midterm?

just evening the playing field
