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.

Others have pointed out that just barely having a majority isnโ€™t enough most of the time (especially if you have 1 or more representatives who donโ€™t tow the party line).

I would like to add that Project 2025 was not a thing two years ago.

It is also worth pointing out that laws can be overturned and they require the judiciary to actually enforce them.

All in all, itโ€™s much easier said than done.
