I agree while also disagreeing. It feels to me like the Democrats seemingly always get their way while in power while Republican presidents with a congressional majority get little to nothing done. To me they have the classic problem as with non-profits: “If we solve the problem we cease to have a cause to exist.” Taking a look at what’s been accomplished this past year, it’s a lot of token Executive Orders on renaming things, a token deportation effort, no material change on mass legal immigration, nothing happening on the voter ID front. It’s just theater until they lose out in the midterms and they to rally their base again in 2028 to “Save America” or “Keep It Great” or whatever hokum. Democrats will undo it all when the pendulum shifts. | ||||||||

The Republicans this term have gotten plenty done, it's just nothing that helps average people. Their wins can't be widely celebrated and so they aren't, as much. | ||||||||

First, republicans blocked everything including formarly own proposals when Obama adopted it ... ever since Obama. It is other way round, the republican party is getting what it worked for, because democrats are weak opposition. > Democrats will undo it all when the pendulum shifts. It is impossible. Will they give reparations to blue cities? From what money? Likewise institutions - it is easier to corrupt and destroy them then to build them anew. Amd crutially, the right wing supreme court needs ro be enlarged or new constitution written for the bad precedents to be changed. > token deportation effort, The whole thing is bigger size then most militaries. > no material change on mass legal immigration, The whole classes of legal immigrants were suddenly ruled illegal and are violently mistreated. > nothing happening on the voter ID front. Republicans are trying to make voting for blie places harder. | ||||||||
