MODERATORS
Remember they are basing all of this redistricting in the data from only 1 election cycle, 2024. Even though it's obvious the trends related to Hispanic voters are likely moving back to historical levels favoring the Democrats. So in other words, this redistricting could easily blow up in their faces and increase the number of democratic seats.
Hope so. Those Republicans have statisticians. I think they will gain five more seats. I live in Texas. People are not that smart here
From what I've seen if you account for voting trends even just back through 2016 or 2012, this redistricting isn't very helpful. The 2024 voting trends seem more like an anomaly, especially with Hispanic voters. Given Trump's crack down with ICE, his approval ratings among those voters have gone negative.
You underestimate just how racist legal immigrants can be, especially in Latino communities. The "Fuck You, I Got Mine" mentality is VERY prominent in immigrant communities in the USA.
In fact, some of the loudest supporters of his anti-immigrant policy HAVE BEEN IMMIGRANTS AND THEIR FAMILIES.
He voted for Trump. Now his wife sits in an ICE detention center.

A Post By A MAGA Voter Who Said Their Child's Father Was Deported Because Of Trump's Policies Is Going Mega Viral
I TRULY hope Hispanics and Latinos swing hard left in the next few elections, because they're getting fucked the hardest right now, but to say their voting trends were an anomaly is disingenuous at best.
It's not my estimates, it's actually polling data that is showing that among Hispanic voters in Texas that voted for Trump, his approval rating is dropping noticably.
I'm sure it is; this is the "Find Out" part of "Fuck Around and Find Out". I doubt it'll last though; people who vote republican tend to vote on feelings and outrage, rather than real policy.
Same can be said for democrats, or basically anyone who gets there news from corporate cable news networks…
Both fox and msnbc are trash
Not just racism. Don’t underestimate the power of machismo. I know more than a handful of Latino men younger than me that are very hard for MAGA trumpism due to the “manliness” associated with it and “femininity” of the other side. I can only assume they buy into all the Andrew tate and Rogan shit too.
