>We’ve had two trifectas! When? The 50 days Obama had a "trifecta" that couldn't actually pass democrat policy because 49 + A guy who refuses to push democrat policy isn't an actual "majority"? When Democrats had actual power under Clinton but again, that was neoliberal bullshit to try and have any power again, and despite doing very well, americans still rejected those politicians for literal political dynasty and reelected a war criminal who lied to their face to start a war. >https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/7/72/Combined--Control_of_the_U.S._House_of_Representatives_-_Control_of_the_U.S._Senate.png https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/7/72/Combined... Notice not just the significant change in how we have more split governments now, and how "majorities" are rarely more than a couple politicians. Republicans empirically "fall in line" for votes more than "democrats" which often includes people who are not even registered democrats (not in this graph though). > Congressional obstructionism as the minority was turned an art by the GOP. Every step in committee and on the floor can be gummed up. They weren't the minority. They were exercising majority powers. >Is the argument might makes right? Or law? Your comment is all over the place. I made no such claim to either. The voters have the power, and they have demonstrably decided that republicans deserve that power more. Democrats are told that they should change their policy, but research shows that voters just don't vote for you as much if you have (D) next to your name, regardless of policy proposal, and hopefully the previous few elections have shown that policy literally doesn't matter because Americans don't care about good policy plans or apparently real life. There is a double standard. If republicans literally break the law to do things, as Trump keeps doing, they still get re-elected. If a democrat does the same, the entire party suffers. So sure, lets have the tiny amount of democrats remaining in government do blatantly criminal things so they can all be put in jail and their states outright taken over by the current admin which is popular. There is no short term solution. There is no solution that Democrat politicians can do on their own. The long term solution is Americans finally re-learning the Republican governance doesn't work well. History shows that will take decades, and significant suffering. You can ask the current remaining democrat politicians to sacrifice themselves on the altar of "Don't just stand by", but polling shows that doing illegal things to protect brown people or trans people will not win elections. Americans are not that empathetic.
