I know facts are hard and analysis of facts is even harder for the average American, but I find the Princeton Gerrymander Project, Brennan Center and PlanScore analyses incredibly helpful in understanding the realities around gerrymandering in the U.S.

While Republicans continue to cry about "the Dems starting it", if you check out the maps you'll see that on the Republican side, Florida, Texas, Ohio, Wisconsin and North Carolina are all gerrymandered to fuck and back.  By contrast, if you look at Dem gerrymanders, the only state that is really offensive is Illinois.  The reality is that the other states that Abbott and co. cry about (California, New York and Massachusetts) just have partisan voter distributions such that most districts are consistent with the statewide partisan leans (unlike Texas, where you have to split every city 5 ways and combine them with huge chunks of rural wastelands to get so many R districts).
