I'm not in favor of partisan gerrymandering. But it's going to happen. The way it is now, whichever party runs the state draws the lines based on the census. The reason you hear so much whining from the Democrats is that they have not been winning states as much as they would like so they've been shut out of the process recently. It's perfectly fine when it works in their favor, though.
Edit: I couldn't help myself, so I looked it up and it seems like you are wrong. Republicans do gerrymander more than democrats

If Trump wants to step down, or is forced from office so Pence takes over, I'm fine with that.
I am NOT fine with Democrats who will try to push us down a road going the wrong way.
And I'm not so happy with many Republicans, either. After all, Trump had both houses of Congress for two years, and there were enough Republicans who would not support closing the southern border that he couldn't accomplish that. Or a few other things as well.
If you recall, Trump took on Republicans he saw as on the wrong side of things as well as Democrats.
