But that would be even worse at a federal level because there are so many more districts to gerrymander, wouldn't it?

The federal government is a lot less likely to be one-party than a state. We haven't had a same-party trifecta for over a decade.

Also, states draw the federal district lines, so generally the Dems and Repubs both do it and the end result is less lopsided.
