From MAGA Republicans to progressive Democrats to those of us in the middle, Americans want real change -- and they're tired of politics as usual.
They're craving authenticity, real reform, and an end to the status quo. More and more, voters seem to be embracing disruption over the empty promises of establishment politicians, who too often live by the creed that "one bad idea deserves a bigger one."
Just look at how both parties are handling gerrymandering in Texas and California, and it's difficult to see it as anything other than both parties trying to rig elections in their favor.
Instead of fixing the system, politicians are fueling a turbocharged redistricting arms race ahead of high-stakes midterm 2026 elections that will determine control of the U.S. Congress. In Texas, Republicans just redrew congressional lines, likely guaranteeing five new Republican seats, which has sparked Democratic strongholds such as California and New York to threaten their own gerrymandered counterattacks.
