The following article is primarily about the Democratic Party gerrymandering, with the tacit approval of some Republicans, the voting districts in California. There is also a brief mention of Republicans in Texas doing the same thing.

I don't know if there is an answer to this, other than placing a proposition on the ballot which would allow only one term for anyone running for state office, and then require you to return to your life as a private citizen. You would be permitted to hold only one office for one term, and never again run for any other political office within the state of California. While I don't like this myself as a possible solution, I don't know how you even get the attention o the California politicos anymore. Other than something similar to this metaphorical, "2x4."
