7:07Now PlayingTrump’s America is not just about chaos at the top – it is about rigging the rules and scapegoating entire nations.
In this clip, Dr. Allan Lichtman explains how the Supreme Court just allowed Texas to use a heavily gerrymandered congressional map that could hand Republicans up to five extra House seats. The new map was passed in a rushed special session after Trump personally pressured Governor Greg Abbott, then rubber-stamped on the Supreme Court’s “rocket docket” as a “political” – not racial – gerrymander.
Allan shows how this decision effectively rewards states for passing maps as late as possible, then claiming it’s “too close to the election” to fix them, locking in manipulated districts that ordinary voters barely even know exist.
Then he turns to Trump’s latest move to halt all immigration and citizenship cases from 19 countries after a single murder by one individual – a man vetted and allowed to stay under Trump’s own administration. Allan exposes how this sweeping freeze overwhelmingly targets Black, Brown, and Muslim-majority countries, while gun murders in the U.S. continue at a rate of over 40 a day with no such collective punishment.
If you want to see how gerrymandering and racist immigration bans work together to entrench minority rule, this breakdown is essential watching.
