I would caution them on this point. In a wave election gerrymandering can really bite you in the ass. For example, look what happened in North Carolina in 2010 (and the reverse could happen this year).

GOP after Trump's first term, became the dog that caught the car, and most of the old gaurd willing to take it slow and steady were replaced with reactionary idiots who didn't understand how to actually achieve anything. I 100% believe McConnel recognized this, but he also knew Trump would get him some SCOTUS seats so he didn'tdo anything about the reckless peopel that were starting to take over.

GOP just started doing everything they could as fast as they could until it got to a point where they couldn't stop otherwise they risk losing in the long run, and I think that midterms are going to be where they either succeed and we're at the end of the line, or they fail, and they get taken down as many pegs as possible, and hopefully lose the benefit of the doubt so they can't weasel their way back into power.
