      Has the other side done something to stop this nonsense in the last… say 30 years? Same with all the other old stuff they (ab)use, why does it still exist?

        It’s hard to stop things like this, unless you are actually in control of the local government. As long as Texas is a majority red state, Democrats have very limited power there.

      Been happening since statehood

      Texas government hates democracy.

      Meanwhile, Dems had the fully power of the Federal Government in 2009 and again in 2021 and… did nothing. So white nationalists continue to pack and crack districts, while liberals wring their hands over DC or Puerto Rico Statehood because they can’t get broad bipartisan consensus.
