So in Illinois, for example, since there doesn't need to to be districts that are majority minority, they can break up Chicago

Has he even looked at the current districts? Chicago is already broken up into gerrymandered districts impacting the suburbs. And Illinois likely loses two seats in the 2030 census... so there isn't much long-term gain to be had even if we could get a temporary gain. There's no "generations" to be had there.
