Now let me get this right. The authors of “Why we must fight back” (Oct. 2) are proposing that the answer to the despicable partisan gerrymandering in Texas is to do the same thing here. If so, what else do we need to do to “fight back”? Are we going to do the name-calling, the threatening and intimidation of opponents, the suppression of the free speech of those who oppose our vision of what is right? Will we eventually employ troops to invade cities in Texas and other bastions of political conservatism? Are we too going to trample on the Constitution to further partisan gains, all the while claiming to serve the cause of democracy.
Thanks, but no thanks.

Mark, what do you propose as an effective alternative to dress the authoritarian takeover of our government?
