Ah yes, the dangerously effective leftist power-grabbing playbook. This is the playbook with accomplishments like:
- Losing two Supreme Court nominations because the opposing party said so, refusing to pack the court in response (also see: next bullet)
- Failing to make general legislative progress by having two critical senators in their party refuse to caucus with them, with both eventually leaving the party entirely
- Controlling less than half of state legislatures in the whole country, less than half of all state governors
- Running unpopular candidates for president 3 times in a row and losing 2/3 easily winnable campaigns over it
- Allowing their unpopular presidential candidate to decide to drop out at the last minute rather than convincing him to do it with enough time to do a proper primary and grassroots campaigning
- Sitting around for years instead of expediting prosecution of Trump for obvious crimes (e.g., classified documents case, Jan. 9 insurrection case) before he could return to office
- Tossing a bucket of quicksand onto voter enthusiasm by splitting the party over the Israel/Gaza conflict and other wedge issues
I actually hope the Republican Party adopts the left's "power-grabbing playbook" so that we can go back to having Democrats in control. Who knows, we might even get universal healthcare - last time, a public option was blocked by a single independent congressperson, which is too much power for the power-grabbing leftists to handle!
