GOP ran the country off a cliff with wars and economic mismanagement. They lost in 2006 and 2008. But by 2010 they retook the House without doing anything other than stirring anger at a black president.
In 2019-2020, they once again drove the country off a cliff and even attempted an insurrection. But months into the 2021 Biden presidency that was memory holed.
How many people will even know that they just got hosed by the GOP’s tax cut for billionaires paid for by Medicaid recipients they just passed? How many people will even remember it come the 2026 midterms? The 2028 presidential election?
If Americans want real positive change then the electorate needs to punish the GOP to force positive change and empower Democrats to actually enact progressive reforms. Otherwise, just expect each presidency to pass one bill per 100 days of their presidency and then rule by executive order for the rest of the time. Meanwhile, democracy crumbles as needed reforms and laws go unpassed in the senate to die on a filibuster.
