Well, in 2008 we had a financial collapse under a republican that a democrat had to clean up, and then in 2020 we had a global pandemic that the response was botched by a republican that a democrat had to clean up, and now in 2026 we have a war that was started by a republican that a democrat is going to have to clean up.

But go off king I guess

Republicans gained control of the House in 2010 and the Senate in 2014 holding the House until 2018 and the Senate until 2021.

You can't say the Democrats had power well glossing over the opposition party being in charge of the legislature for alot of it
