It takes fuck all effort to block things. The GOP can do that with control of only one of the 3 (house, senate, presidency). Which they’ve had for 20 of the last 24 years.
That goes both ways, and yet we’ve seen Republicans pass all kinds of vile legislation in that time. If “it takes fuck all effort to block things” then why aren’t Democrats doing that too?
What the GOP wants is lack of progress. They want to hit the giant pause button on society. That’s why the GOP benefits more from blocking things. What the Dems want is actual progress - new bills, new laws, new measures. That requires legislation to actually pass. So no, it doesn’t work both ways.
The most the GOP wants to do is repeal what was already passed, and give tax breaks. It takes fuck all effort to do that. They get one house and they can demand tax breaks or they shut down the government. Or they try to repeal the ACA. They didn’t write a well thought out replacement lol, all they want to do is repeal.
To actually write and pass progressive legislation takes a ton of actual work, effort, support, and time. And all 3 houses to pass it.
