Excuses excuses.

Yes, Democrats like to whine that they only got 60 votes in the Senate for a short period during Obama's term. You want to know the last time Republicans had 60 votes in the Senate? 1911.

It's been over a century since Republicans had that kind of majority, and I think back then the filibuster had a larger threshold to overrule, so they probably didn't even have a filibuster-proof majority even then. You probably have to go back to Reconstruction to find Republicans with that kind of majority.

Do you know how Republicans dismantle programs without a filibuster-proof majority? They do it by cutting funding. They cut funding to programs and zero out their budgets. The program still exists in legislation; it just isn't funded.

To fix that damage does not require breaking a filibuster. It just requires properly funding those programs again. And funding can be passed with just a simple majority.

And of course, much of what Republicans do is done by executive order, and that can easily be reversed by the next Democratic president.
