The basic strategy goes like this. First, win control of state legislatures, then gerrymander the state district boundaries such that it's virtually impossible to lose, and add further protection with vote suppression laws making it harder for liberals to cast their ballots. Then, leverage control of the state legislatures in a post-census year to gerrymander the congressional district boundaries and gain a large advantage in the national House vote. This was exactly what happened after the previous census in 2010, when a fortunately-timed Republican wave victory allowed them to cement a roughly 4-5 point handicap in House elections and control of the chamber for eight years, along with control of dozens of state legislatures.

1. Looking at the elections in '18 and '20..it didn't exactly go the way they wanted

I will bet money the same will happen in ‘24. Dictatorships and authoritarian governments never last, or go the way they planned. Yes, absolutely, we have work to do to regain state held legislators and hold the house. The elections we have had so far this year are promising- progressive young female mayors elected around the country. WI and Tx had some good gains in state and local held positions. It wasn’t what the right had hoped for.

Not being Pollyanna, just looking at history and refusing to believe we are without power or options. And..there are a lot more of us than there are them.
