Yes: If more than 50 Democrats were religiously unified around one person or cause, they would get it done.
We’ve been trying to rally that effort behind ideas, like universal healthcare. The idea of rallying around a president, who claims they want universal healthcare, is there but it has serious risks: That person could lie, could pivot, could serve their own interests.
That is, in many ways, the lesson that MAGA members are getting; they were promised lower taxes, better jobs, and could see that with a willing supermajority, they have the power to get that. Only…that supermajority isn’t working in their interests, because they rushed to “have power”, when it’s really their politicians that have power.
And remember, that supermajority doesn’t even have to be one political party. It can be reps/senators from both parties that all were voted in on, and legitimately want to fight for, a certain idea. Long, long ago, D/Rs negotiated with each other and passed bipartisan bills, but that’s been gone a long time.
