Trump can have his ballroom as soon as we repeal the Permanent Apportionment Act of 1929, and expand the Capitol building to accommodate the 1500 representatives we should have using the average district size from the time.
Quite the opposite actually. Gerrymandering is only as effective as it is because of the limited seats. This allows maps to be drawn with wildly arbitrary lines to split districts to achieve razor thin margins. A byproduct of gerrymandering is that the districts it creates have very weak control.
Further, the larger number of districts allows for more potential candidate options. By splitting up everything even more, smaller candidates, and alternative parties have a greater chance. Political spending being forced to be split cross 3x the candidates can only be a net positive for us at this point as we try to fix this shit.

And with gerrymandering, that won’t make even the slightest difference.
