If they hold all the States they now hold in 2020 they'll control the next gerrymander. The Senate is constitutionally rigged, and that's not going to change. The next thing they'll rig is the Electoral college. The easiest way would be to pick key states that might swing Democratic in the presidential election and change the allocation of electors to congressional districts, which are already gerrymandered. Something like that in the 2012 election would have changed michigan from an Obama win to obama getting 5 electors and Romney getting 9. Same thing would have happened in Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Ohio, etc. If they do that and keep those states gerrymandered no demographics will change it.
yeah, I guess that's the apocalypse scenario and it could happen. that's the kind of shit that foments civil unrest
