I keep seeing on twitter that the GOP dummymandered in NC, TX, and FL. But I only partially agree.
I think had they not gerrymandered TX and FL the losses would have been much steeper. NC was a true dummymander though that clearly cost them seats (nearly every single one).

I haven't looked at each map individually but folks I trust on both sides of aisle (sean trende, nate silver) have said that it looks like there are no true dummymanders this year.
Dummymanders tend to happen in a wave but not a tsunami (the latter has you lose everything regardless of the districting). That's not to say some of these maps (mainly FL) won't turn out to be dummymanders down the line.
The TX gerrymander will actually prove to be a successful gerrymander, albeit not in the way the GOP hoped. But they lost a net -1 House seats from 2024 (when the top of the ticket was GOP +14) to 2026 (when the top of the ticket was GOP -12). Do you not see how that indicates a successful districting?
