    No, that’s why I wrote “Texas” instead of “Texans” or “everyone in Texas” because I know that it’s not everyone’s choice and a lot of people there suffer from that bullshit. But the elected leadership and a significant part of its leadership are so dumb that they’re undeserving of any work put into the ridicule for them.

    As for gerrymandering: I have no clue while the US clings to that stupid voting system. But the problems with it are known for years, and I haven’t heard of any efforts to get rid of it
