GOP's gerrymander bet is built on Trump's 2024 Latino surge -- but support is already slipping.

{ð—®ð™…ð™Žð˜¿}: GOPâ€™s gerrymander bet is built on Trumpâ€™s 2024 Latino surge â€” but support is already slipping. Texas seats once thought safe are shaky, and demographic shifts blunt map-rigging. Even with SCOTUS poised to gut the VRA, Dayen notes: maps canâ€™t save an unpopular Trump.

Thugs dragging them out of their cars or kicking their doors down? Who’d have thunk it? (Well, liberals and those fuzzy-minded mental health workers, but their counsel doesn’t count for much in Republican Party circles).

And God have mercy on future Republican Party candidates’ electoral prospects if Texas Latinos ever figure out that Texas Republicans have been hard at work tearing up the ladders of social advancement at the behest of “small government” influencers and right-wing utopian ideologues.
