California Proposition 50 (2025) to gerrymander California was not put forward by Trump. And as someone who was challenged at the polling station by a leftist white woman in 2016, then as now as an hourly worker, you're wrong about voter suppression as well. (How many unreported incidents make something systematic?) You have been sold a lie.
It is very interesting that the last governor of California who was a republican did the most to try to ensure fair voting that produced candidates more representative of the views of the electorate.

Literally my dude why are you making your voting choices known to poll workers who have no fucking choice but to stand there and listen?
I have spent years overseeing polling locations as an election inspector in the city of San Francisco. In all my years of doing this, I only saw one type of voter who made absolutely certain everyone around them knew exactly who they were voting for, whether or not they wanted to hear it, laws against electioneering be damned.
It’s the same type of person who drives a truck around plastered top to bottom with a guy’s name across it, flying forty foot flags behind them. The same type of voter for whom their candidate has become their entire insufferable personality. Who wears the hats, the shirts, has tattoos, and on and on and on.
One guy in particular went so far as to ask for help from a polling worker so they’d mark his ballot in favor of his specific presidential candidate. He had no problem whatsoever filling out the rest of his ballot. But it was real goddamn important for him to go out of his way to be a complete asshole to an innocent fucking volunteer who was sacrificing their entire goddamn day to make sure he could vote.
For whatever reason, this type of person is never a Harris, Biden, or Obama voter.
But I have every confidence you are that type of person.

Prop 50 is very clearly and transparently a retaliation for Texas redrawing their election map. Nobody on the left is happy about this, but we are absolutely done fighting fascist power grabs with gentle requests to fight fair.
Take a good fucking look on the inside some time, my friend.
