This was already legally happening in Texas. Cali did this in response to Texas being allowed to heavily gerrymander their state in Republican favor.
Yes, I am aware of that. However, how do you eat an elephant? The same way the consevatives overturned Roe, one bite at a time.
The slow erosion of the voting rights act is a long and pernicious project. I dont know for certain, but SCOTUS weighing in to explicitly say it was okay to gerrymander on political grounds is almost certainly beggining, or continuing, a precent that we dont want set.
i heard other blue states are doing the same too.
As someone who only recently got the opportunity to flee Texas to Cali: Fuck yes.
People who have never lived in a place like TX, FL, MS, MO, AL, etcetcetc have no idea what its like, and the purists who were against this move have zero idea whats at stake. The fact that this is time capped speaks volumes, and was intentional. Again, I urge people to look at how Texas did it. There is no limit, and the people didn't vote on it. You don't want that kind of government.
