It's not just about having a majority - it's about knowing how to use every procedural tool available. These tactics fundamentally changed how Congress operates. 🏛️

So, Democrats, why aren't you playing the same game? If you're not willing to fight fire with fire, how do you expect to win? 🔥

6️⃣ United Front Messaging
Leadership enforced strict party discipline. No breaking ranks, no compromise. Coordinated talking points amplified by friendly media created the appearance of organic opposition. 🔒
Why aren't Dems as disciplined in their messaging and strategy?

5️⃣The State-Level Squeeze
GOP state AGs would threaten lawsuits against bills before they even passed. Created uncertainty, scared moderate Dems, slowed everything down. Smart but cynical. ⚖️
Why aren't Dems using state-level legal challenges to block GOP policies?

4️⃣ Death By 1000 Amendments
Wait until a bill is ready for vote, then dump hundreds of amendments. Force Dems to either delay everything or look like they're "rushing." Classic delay tactic. 📝
Why aren't Dems flooding GOP bills with amendments to slow them down?

3️⃣ The Empty Chair Strategy
GOP would skip committee meetings to deny quorum. Can't vote without quorum! Imagine scheduling a meeting and your coworkers all "coincidentally" call in sick to block decisions. 🪑
Why aren't Dems using quorum denial to grind GOP agendas to a halt?

2️⃣ "Anonymous Holds" - The Silent Killer
Individual GOP senators placed unprecedented numbers of secret holds on Obama's nominees. Key positions sat empty for months or years. Imagine trying to run government agencies with no confirmed leaders. 🤐

1️⃣ The Senate Filibuster Game
Even with Dems having 60 seats (briefly), GOP senators required 60-vote thresholds for virtually everything. Basic legislation? Filibuster. Routine appointments? Filibuster. Morning coffee? You guessed it. 🚫
