They don’t seem to complain when Texas does it.

When Republicans chop up cities into non sensical districts it's fine but not the other way around?

Both are bad. The article goes into it a bit.

Agreed. It's just the hypocrisy.

Cool. Yeah it sucks.
Everyone gets screwed in some way.

Saving them from themselves. Aren't they all farmers out there?

Most of the population is in city. And the cities have grown quite a bit since 2010s. Fresno the city alone is over 550k people (about half the county) and thats not counting Clovis/Madera and a host of others. Fresno has been growing while the rest of the state has been (relatively) shrinking. Although that has been changing as of this year (population around the state is growing again).
The issue is that the districts themselves will not represent the area at all as they are drawn out. And I dont see a lot of discussion outside the actual state about that.

Please can Fresno just be a little inconvenienced to save the country from fascism? I would gladly trade places with you if we're a possibility in my district.
