That precedent would allow California and New York and every other Blue state to make every House seat Blue, and Democrats would take the House forever.

Not necessarily. Currently states with entirely blue legislatures make up only 149 House seats. Split legislatures make up another 106 seats leaving 180 seats in red states.

Split states would be required to abide by their actual election results, but are trending Blue, at which point they would be Blue forever.
