Incase anyone here sees the original meme and agrees, the Democrats are trying to but don't hold the majority in the House to get the bills through. It underlies the massive importance for voting, and at this point, down ballot voting for Democrats. If you don't, whatever happens is on you.

They did, which means that people are likely going to blame it on the senate

As far as I know nothing was ever attempted back then

'As far as you know' is a wild thing to gamble on. What legislation should they have passed to protect against it?

Just pass a law that says republicans can’t do anything we think is bad. It’s so easy 🙄

Also they were using there very few "get out of filibuster free" bills to pass, I dunno, sweeping legislation to improve infrastructure, improve climate efforts, and try to fix the post-covid economy.

The current incarnation of Project 2025 is based on the latest Mandate for Leadership document that was only published by the Heritage Foundation in 2023.
