    They had the house and senate in 2020. We’ve seen how effectively the dems can whip a vote to call a progressive an antisemite, so think of how much easier it would be to do something that every dem’s constituency wants done.

    But there’s plenty of ways to get around congress, we have one of the most powerful executives in the world.

    Don’t like ICE? You choose it’s head. Appoint someone who will fire every officer and sell off/destroy the assets.

    Don’t like overturning roe? Open up military hospitals to provide contraceptive care to civilians. Withdraw federal support from states that ban abortion and if the SCOTUS doesn’t like it, tell them to enforce it.

    We’ve seen Biden go around congress, but it was to send even more arms to Israel faster.
