and I want to be clear - this means no aid to Ukraine either. We are broke as it is.

If the house goes how you suspect gerrymandering will backfire. Pack and Crack gerrymandering like republicans have been doing is the art of building as many pretty safe seats for your party as you can then attempting to shove the rest into as few as possible extremely safe seats for your opponents (if you can ensure none of your voters are in those districts you do it). It's finangling safety of seats vs number of seats, and republicans seem to be leveraging themselves a bit heavily at the moment.

If it's a bloodshed election, the gerrymandering will be most analogous to a dam that's bursting. What it had been holding back it's now providing an excess in its failure.
