While the Democrats are redistricting California to maximize their Socialist hold on the Golden State, they are accusing Republicans of destroying our democracy by doing the same redistricting in Texas. Do they really think the country is too stupid to understand their tactics and art of projecting? The Democrats have vowed to fight to the bitter end to defend their Texas seats, especially that of the brilliant star of the Party, Jasmine Crockett, by getting on a plane and deserting the Lone Star State for the friendly confines of the sanctuary city of Chicago. The Democrats retreat faster than the Italian Army. If these brave souls were at the Alamo, they would have held a Tupperware Party for General Antonio López de Santa Anna and the Mexican Army. William Barret Travis, James Bowie, and Davy Crockett would have lived to fight another day.

How ironic that these fleeing Democrats have abandoned their responsibilities and landed in the waiting arms of the embattled Illinois Governor and future Presidential hopeful, JB Pritzker. JB will never miss an opportunity for a photo op and time with a microphone, but this time, he went over the edge with irony and rhetoric. Speaking as the top dog in the state, which is famous for election manipulation, vote early and often, and all dead Democrats vote here, he is calling President Trump a cheater, a wannabe dictator, and is destroying democracy. He is projecting on Trump all the ills that every newborn in Illinois is inherently born to do.

Both parties use redistricting, but the Republicans are just getting into the game, and that is what is troubling for Democrats. The Dems held all the cards on the seedy side of politics, but the Republicans have finally learned that unless they fight back on equal terms, they will be outplayed into obsolescence. The state of Illinois’ Congressional map looks like a product of a first-grade art class. It is obvious that every opportunity was taken to ensure that every district was blue. California has a plan in the works to replace five red districts with blue to counter the action in Texas, but somehow, that must be safe for the delicate democracy.

On Monday night, arrest warrants were put in place for all of the Democrat lawbreakers who abandoned their seats in Austin and fled north, many in private jets. Governor Abbott is also mulling ways to remove these representatives from office. It is comical to see the video of these individuals boarding planes, telling the camera that they are in for the fight, that they are here for the people of Texas, that they are going to save democracy for future generations. Then the last seconds of video are of their backs as they escape the state and their jobs.

This stuff is pure theater, and unfortunately, half the population clamors for season subscriptions to the Democrat show. The media is trying to make these folks into heroes, but that is difficult when the best shots of them are their backs walking away. The redistricting may or may not happen, but these people should be forced to resign, as they have already walked out on the Lone Star State.
