Sure felt like the Republicans were able to block shit pretty successfully when they were a way smaller minority

Democrats when they are the majority: "OMG, the Republicans are preventing us from giving you any of the things that you want. I guess we gotta go bomb a bunch of brown people, and spend a bunch of monies on our rich friends."

Democrats when they are the minority: "What do you want us to do? We don't have any power. I guess we gotta vote for the Republican policies."

No, the problem is Neoliberalism. The Dems that you listed aren't the outcasts of the party, they are the goal of the party. Their entire purpose is to absorb the rage of leftists into thinking that one of the two parties is actually fighting for the people.

Supreme Court and media narrative has been controlled by them for a decade at least. Plus democrats don't ignore judges.

They are playing two entirely different games. Republicans could not give a shit about following the Constitution or the rule of law. That gives them a lot more options.
