The Soviet Republic of Texas

[Khephra]

YOU MIGHT THINK America's rigged system of congressional elections couldn't get much worse. Self-serving redistricting schemes nationwide already have left an overwhelming number of seats in the House of Representatives so uncompetitive that election results are practically as preordained as in the old Soviet Union. In the last election, for example, 98 percent of incumbents were reelected, and the average winning candidate got more than 70 percent of the vote. More candidates ran without any major-party opposition than won by a margin of less than 20 percent. Yet even given this record, the just-completed Texas congressional redistricting plan represents a new low.

1. People are starting to wake up. Is it too late?

The Busheviks have taken multiple-steps to insuring Imperial Rule.

Everytime I see sluggish wakefulness such as this article, the EPA Lie, or the Wilson Affair...being exposed and talked about...it gives me hjope...and everytime the Busheviks shatter any movement in their direction.

The Busheviks are going to charge ahead, without deviation (or only under the greatest duress, then he'll do whatever they were going to do anyway), conscience, or shame.

The question remains...the questions ALWAYS remains when dealing with Monarchial Types, Aitocratic Types, Totalitarians...is can anyone actually stop them?

That is the only relevant question. So it looks like we are going to get the Soviet Republic of Texas.
