As you know, some Democrats in Texas have spotted another "threat to democracy," and their ironic response has been to try and halt the democratic process to prevent Republicans in the state from moving forward with a plan to redraw congressional districts.
Those Dems then fled to one of the most gerrymandered states in the country in protest, and now the Left would like everybody to believe redistricting is a grave threat to "democracy," but only if Republicans do it.
Here's Dem Rep. Ayanna Pressley of Massachusetts doing that very thing:
What Republicans are doing in Texas is a cowardly, undemocratic power grab meant to silence voters.

They know their policies are deeply unpopular so they want to rig the next election.
Solidarity with Texas Democrats using every tool to fight back.
LOL!
Do they really think that nobody's going to notice?
You’re from a state where Republicans won 36% of the vote and hold zero seats, Ayanna.

Is that undemocratic? https://t.co/La6MUCDSi8
Pressley's district looks like one of those cowardly, undemocratic power grabs:
Girlfriend, have you looked at your own district… https://t.co/dxA7JxatpW

No kidding:
The woman who represents this district wants you to know gerrymandering is a cowardly, undemocratic power grab. https://t.co/XChUXAXsqe pic.twitter.com/JkwayCdsqB

But, as Barack Obama made abundantly clear earlier, it's "D"ifferent when they do it.

But, as Lara Logan points out, it was nice of the Dems to help draw attention to all the gerrymandering they've done:
The best part about the Texas gerrymandering story is how it is exposing all the gerrymandering in Dem states that has gone unchallenged for years. The walls of hypocrisy are collapsing around them all. https://t.co/riYAv0FsEB

And may those walls continue to collapse!
