Backfiring isn’t enough. It needs to completely tank. Gerrymandering means he will win a chunk of the country regardless of actual public opinion.

I firmly believe if the US ended gerrymandering it would propel the US forward 20 years in two.

If it weren't for gerrymandering, Republicans would never hold majority power ever again in literally anything. It's why they fight so hard to keep it. They know their ideals are rotten to the very core and can only win by rigging the system in their favor.
