It’s an even sillier position because in Texas the legislature decided to do it but in California it was passed by the voters themselves. You don’t get more democratic than a direct vote.
Why does Texas have an asterisk?
Republican hypocrisy and double standards shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone at this point.
The magic R, if you have it you are beyond the reach of logic or accountability.. if you don’t you must be logical and accountable
I had to have a conversation about this in real life. Republican was saying that it’s illegal that California put this to a vote, yet silent when i asked them about what TX did. The amount is sheer stupidity.
Rules for thee not for me
The GOP’s only standards are double standards
it’s all about “state-rights”!
As a resident of Texas, we didn’t get a chance to vote on redrawing lines. California did.
Yes. Exactly. Pointing out the hypocrisy is pointless. They know. They like it. They do it deliberately. Their only guiding principle is “I can do whatever I want”.
Unless you actively stop them, they will continue to do it.
A prime example of GOP hypocrisy.
if the Guardians Of Pedophiles (GOP) didnt have double standards, they wouldn’t have any.
Totally different cases.
For Texas, it’s all about States’ Rights. In California, it’s about States’ Wrongs.
That’s kind of their whole policy platform towards law & order and rules in general
Well, republican presidents can rape kids but Democratic presidents can’t wear tan suits…
Bingo
It’s the high school cliche of the bullies/A-listers (Danny Phantom) can do whatever they want even if harms others but if someone else so much as sneezes wrong it’s straight to prison
But ma rights!
Always important to point out that the Left wants this corrupt practice outlawed nationwide and tried both piecemeal (independent commissions) and via a SCOTUS case (Rucho v Common Cause) where of course the Republican appointed justices preserved Gerrymandering.
Lying and/or dumb conservatives will ignore as much.
Both sides are not the same.
That is their logic for everything
Makes complete sense. California used a democratic process and voted on it. Texas did it without a public vote. Next question?
“GOP Logic” is “win at every cost, might makes right”. Fairness and decorum are out the window.
Noooo, you misunderstand. It’s not that CA isn’t allowed….its that they’re only allowed to gerrymander for republicans
What is the asterisk for?
That’s how Guardians of Pedophiles do everything! “It’s ok when Trump does it or when I do it but YOU??? Lick my boot peasant.”
Fuck Trump. Fuck the Nazi party.
I mean the problem is they simply don’t care. The fascist political method says “say whatever you can to “win””.
Being reasonable, simply doesn’t matter to them.
Well yeah they are fascists, democracy is not a good thing to them.
Texas just narrowed the winning margins so much in formally “safe” districts that they might just lose them.
Texas: [governor orders legislature to redraw of maps because the president told him to]
GOP: “People shouldn’t be complaining because It’s totally legal!!”
California: [holds vote to decide on temporarily redrawing maps in response to Texas]
GOP: “They’re going against the will of the people!!”
If we the people were to decide where our taxes went they would all would be out of jobs because we would know where our tax dollars went and none of us would give a cent to the rich
Think I just figured out why Ted wants to be the Republican representative guys.
GOP logic: EVERYTHING is okay so long as they can and others can’t
ELI5. What is the Republican argument?
Like a bunch of 3 year olds. “One for you, and one for me.” *”No, I want it all!”*
That’s their entire logic because they’re all idiots. Gerrymandering, ignoring the constitution, fucking children, anything is okay as long as you’ve got an R next to your name
I mean that’s their logic with everything
Drawing voting maps to disenfranchise people you disagree with reveals that you can’t win an election on the merit of your ideas and performance.
The hypocrisy isnt for our ears/eyes. They know they can do it because their base is full of semi literate, brain oxygen deprived drooling morons who have their eye balls fused to a tv running fox all day. They can say and do whatever they want because their voters dont give a shit, and wouldn’t understand if they did.
Not to forget about the *other* segment of their base who want them to do whatever they want because they derive pleasure from the suffering of others and somehow think none of it is going to eventually effect them. Equally stupid people, but with a dash of ghoul.

Lol, classic GOP move, ain’t it?
