gerrymandering is good--for the electorate. why?

Because gerrymandering increases homogeneity. A gerrymandered district is more homogeneous--the voters are more alike than they were before. In general.

Homogeneity in general increases unity. A more homogeneous district means the voters in general share more common interests. If the voters share more common interests then it is easier for them to elect and hold accountable a politician who can represent their common interests.

Of course if you want the corporations to have more control over the government, and you want the people to have less control, then gerrymandering is indeed bad.

why should I be able to live in a better house than you just because my parents left me money when they died?

Our ancestors built this nation. We current citizens are their heirs. Whatever benefits there are to having been born here, those benefits should accrue only to citizens.

America is ours, we and our ancestors built it. If there are any benefits to living here, they belong to us, and not to foregners. Likewise, my nice house belongs to me and not to you, despite the fact that it was purchased with money willed to me by my parents.

the generation of americans that were in their earning prime years during the late 70s and the 80s were the lucky ones...and their kids are lucky, too. Those earners in that time frame were able to stash their earnings into nearly risk-free certificates, which over the years increased and doubled and doubled again. And now their children are inheriting that money.

We may never see the like of that financial boon again, at least not here in america.

Economic growth here in america now depends on population growth. And since americans are not having many children, the establishment is looking to bring in people from outside in order to obtain growth. However, some americans don't want this. It is the establishment vs the american majority on whether america will return to growth via population importation or whether we will go the way of japan. This is the new war.
