Votes for his Big Bastardly Bill
Janet Kuypers
8/6/25
I Thought Chicago was the city known for redistricting—
I mean, the phrase “vote early, vote often” gained notoriety
Only after organized crime in Chicago made it a thing...
At one point they had a 33-foot-wide narrow strip of land
Connecting Chicago to O’Hare International Airport, so
Look at Chicago’s district lines almost like abstract art.
So, when I think redistricting, I think of liberal cities, until
I heard that the Entertainer-in-Chief wanted a governor to
Redistrict the republican Texas — to get 5 more votes for his
Big bastardly bill. (That’s how screwed up the bill is, that
Trump needs to change how people vote to get the needed
Support to help his proposal survive.) So, gov. Greg Abbott,
Reluctant at first, made the rare mid-decade redistricting
Proposal, prompting dozens of Texas house democrats to
Flee the state to block Republican redistricting efforts —
Which makes it perfect that Texas state representative
Gene Wu and others fled, of all places, to Chicago. And
Yeah, governor Pritzker in Illinois welcomed these Texans,
Because I personally have dipped my foot in these Austin
Waters where they are trying to redistrict republican zones
In a vein effort to pass laws to spend a ton more money (no,
These aren’t democrat money spenders but republicans).
Even after I go, it’s comforting to know that Chicago willÂ
Always support those in trouble with welcoming arms.
