The problem wirh this argument is that last year President Trump personally and explicitly encouraged Republican parties to redraw their maps to gain as many seats as possible. Texas did so and kicked off this entire rush of other states (both blue and red) to try to redraw their maps as well.

Last year, when Presidemt Trump first proposed that Republican states do this, I said it was a horrible idea because a) gerrymandering is bad and b) I knew that as soon as the first Republican state did it, liberal ones would as well. And I was right. But I earned a 3 day time out last year for "dooming" and being "anti-Trump". To be clear, I am not anti-Trump. I am anti-gerrymandering.

We can't clap like trained seals when President Trump encourages Republican states to gerrymander THEIR states, but scream and cry that gerrymandering isn't fair and should be stopped when liberal states do it.
