When there is a republican president

[USAFRetired_Liberal]

And either a Democratic minority and/or majority in one house of Congress, it seems like routine legislation and congressional norms happen without Democrats trying to sabotage the president…we see this with the debt ceiling issue or even the Covid relief last year. Democrats could have let Republicans and Trump go out it alone last year with Covid, but they actually care about the American public and their welfare….you see how the third Covid package turned out without any Republican support.

Edit - and republicans know that, too

1. McConnell and the others are bad faith politicians. JRB would be just in making an

executive order that with the entirety of the GOP acting in bad faith to the interests of their colleagues and constituents. In fact, I'd go so far as to say, since they're so hell bent on destroying democracy, we can start with nullifying their votes.

There you have it, GOP! No democracy in action. Deal with it!

2. We bend and then they still say no n/t

3. I don't think it matters who's in power

The GQP puts blame on Dems regardless of who has power, and Joe low-info voter says "Bad Dems" on Facebook and Twitter and people eat it up.
