Democratic bombing – Dr. Abdullah bin Musa Al -Tayer

Iron only escapes iron, and the Republic of Texas stands in the face of the Democratic California, and the field is available for more lineup on both sides of the red and blue armies. And America is divided, and although the partisan division is rooted in its political structure, it has now reached, they have not descended from the civil war. Democrats and Republicans no longer differ about policies only; Rather, they live a political and cultural reality, and even geographically, different from what they are accustomed to. This fragmentation is clearly evident, and its repercussions, in the process of re -dividing the electoral districts that are supposed to be held naturally every ten years with the announcement of the results of the population census, but it was military this time due to the sharp political division between the two parties, in a conflict that is no longer on the congressional seats, but on the rules of the democratic process itself.

The term “manipulation of electoral districts” dates back to 1812 AD, in the state of Massachusetts, and since then, both parties have used this tool to consolidate their influence. However, advanced technology and excessive partisanship fueled the intensity of contemporary manipulation of electoral districts; The advanced programs allow the division of electoral districts with extreme accuracy, and the targeting of voters based on the population composition, the date of voting and even their activity on social media.

Texas is a contemporary witness, where Republicans engineered maps that established the Republican majority in the long run, and the same as the Democrats in California, the rope on the tractor, and the decisiveness before the mid -elections that will determine its result, perhaps the future of America. Followers of the American affairs expect that the result will not be a balance that serves the competition between the two parties on the votes of voters, but rather an armed race of geography, and the victim in it will be confidence in the entire democratic process.

Decades ago, Democrats and the Republicans were competing in the overlapping electoral districts, which often resolved the results. Today, the political identity has turned into a form of “tribal” loyalty in which urban areas tend significantly towards the Democrats, while the rural areas towards the Republicans, and the suburbs turn into the battlefields of fierce electoral battles. In this crisis context, attempts to re -divide the electoral districts deepen the party alignment, as voters with similar trends bring together to form safe electoral districts, judging the chances of real competition for voters.

In this regard, researchers do not look at the near -range consequences that will result in the upcoming midterm elections in November 2026 AD, but rather they see as a transitive practice to be further and deeper. The manipulative electoral districts produce more fanatic representatives. This extremist dynamic will eliminate the compatibility between the two parties, which reduces settlements, and exacerbates the partisanship that paralyzes Congress in Washington.

The wars of re -dividing the armed electoral districts with all legal and popular munitions reveal the fact that the American division is not only ideological, but also structural. Democrats and the Republicans not only fight on political decisiveness; Rather, they are fighting on the battlefield itself, as the maps that today draw the features of the political conflict for years will be formed, which deepens the lack of confidence and increases the polarization of a nation that lives deeply with itself. It is not surprising that the gap between the two parties is the features of American policy, but the current polarization is similar to some with a seismic rift.

In Texas, the Republican stronghold, and despite the increasing diversity of its population – 40 % of them are Haslank, and the urban areas tend to the Democrats – the new maps weakened the power of minority voting; The Republicans obtained 24 out of 38 seats in Congress in 2022, despite the Democrats winning 45 % of the votes at the state level, and in the same year, more than 80 % of the US House of Representatives seats were considered a non -competitive, as a direct result of manipulating the maps of the electoral districts.

The eye does not mistake the local division, as Republicans and Democrats in America live in isolation; Two fragments are increasingly geographically and ideologically. And America is at a crossroads, either a democracy in which every voice is calculated, or democracy in which the maps are determined by the winners before the voters made their votes.
