This week on The Enemies List, Rick Wilson zeroes in on Texas Governor Greg Abbott’s latest authoritarian stunt: a blatantly corrupt redistricting power grab that aims to rig the 2026 election before a single vote is cast. As Texas Democrats flee the state to block quorum, Abbott threatens arrests and removals—desperate moves from a party that knows it can’t win fairly. Rick pulls no punches, calling out the apartheid-style gerrymandering, the legal thuggery, and the spineless MAGA loyalty behind this brazen scheme. This isn’t policy—it’s political warfare. And Abbott is trying to be Trump’s loyal soldier in the redistricting coup.

Rick lays out what’s at stake: if Democrats don’t fight fire with fire in states like California, New York, and Illinois, Republicans will steamroll their way to an illegitimate majority in 2026—and possibly end free elections as we know them. From election cheating and voter suppression to redistricting corruption, authoritarian power grabs, and Trump’s dangerous orbit, this episode is a blistering call to arms. The fight starts in Texas, but it ends with the survival of American democracy. Subscribe, share, and stay vigilant.
