Скачать или смотреть The Texas GOP could pay a high price for its gamble on redistricting

Until about a decade ago, the Texas GOP epitomized traditional small-government conservatism. It championed tort reform, deregulation, and a laissez-faire, business-friendly atmosphere that politicians would often contrast to the oppressive regime of California.

But the election of Donald Trump has led to a peculiar phenomenon: the “Californi-fication” of Texas and the adoption of California-style tactics to impose a right-wing agenda. Watch the full episode of Anne Kim's discussion with journalist Christopher Hooks as he talks about his recent article for Texas Monthly chronicling this shift.
