Texas Democrats are claiming victory over their Republican counterparts in their redistricting clash and could return to the state, according to a new report.
Concretely, ABC News detailed that lawmakers are planning on returning to the state if Republicans effectively adjourn the special session called to that end on Friday.
In a release published on Tuesday, Democrats said they “have killed this corrupt special session on behalf of Texas families, exactly what we said we’d do when we left the state.”
However, a spokesperson later told the outlet that plans could change if the GOP changes its strategy over the next days.
Never come back. Completely shut down the state government and force them to fast track their desired one party state (and trigger some uprising) or just get nothing done at all. Either way people will get mad and start demanding real action.
That would be vacating their seats, in which case Abbott will just appoint crony replacements and the districts will pass.
Ah yes, anarchy. Usually lasts for 1-3 turns. No city growth, no production. YMMV once you convert to a new political ideology.
