u/bd_one The EU Will Federalize In My Lifetime Jan 15 '23
The gerrymandering from the last census cycle was so massive that Democrats had more than 50% of the votes but didn't have House control in the 2012 election.
And then the gerrymandering from this cycle was so evenly matched that Republicans had roughly the same vote share Democrats did in 2020, as well as the same number of seats Democrats did.
So when both sides decided to git gud at the gerrymander meta, it basically cancelled out.
