(29,414 posts)I tend to think positively, and with the fact that these communities have strong representation, too. And not just from within their communities, but from surrounding and sympathetic communities. I agree that the East and West coasts probably have nothing to worry about because they're not ruined by gerrymandering, unlike my home state of Texas.
However, where I live, in Houston, the diversity of people from across the world is greater than even NYC now, and any wingers trying to get such legislation through would find themselves unable to make such headway. I'd even bet that the City of Houston would fight such legislation in court. You'd also have companies and corporations fighting them over the one thing wingers respect more than anything: loss of revenue.
Personally, I think that worrying about such a worst-case scenario isn't that constructive. I don't feel that their comments on YT truly represent all wingers and/or moderates. But, if you do see such things happening here in the future, feel free to give us a hand in defeating them
