To be fair, they do have achievements. They’re just incredibly unpopular with the general public.

The got abortion banned, they brought back child labor in some states, they blocked support for Russia’s invasion of Europe, they’re blocking bipartisan legislation on immigration so they continue to campaign on it, they got America’s Credit rating dropped again, and they’re about to make it so federal regulators can’t keep food, water, and workplaces safe.

They were able to do a lot with their court appointments, local officials, and good old fashioned obstruction.

Are they actually capable of embarrassment?

That's NOT true! They have MANY accomplishments!

They forced raped 10 year olds to give Birth! They forced poor people to pay back predatory student loans! They protected Rich CEOS who poisoned American Citizens! They ROLLED BACK Child Labor Laws! They banned the Bible and Dictionary! They made Healthcare ILLEGAL! They protected Cops who killed Kids or watched Kids DIE! They KILLED and TRAFFICKED people! They haven't passed a Budget!

These are EXACTLY why Republicans keep voting for them! To do EXACTLY this!

They could start by passing a clean Ukraine lethal aid bill in the House that exceeds what Biden is asking for. Funding for high paying American jobs always sells well. And it's a win-win that those high paying American jobs are to produce modern weapons like PrSM to upgrade the US Army's capability, enabling them to pass old ATACMS to Ukraine to dispatch Russian invaders.

"We just wish we could have destroyed a bigger part of society and caused additional policy disasters... Sometimes I wonder if we are really evil anymore..."

Guess they can't really brag about where they actually focus energy: stonewalling any and all progress and poisoning the public's opinion and trust of "the Other", whatever the target may be.

Who needs achievement when you have fascism on the menu for 2024?

Bragging about accomplishments and compromise is the old way to campaign.

The modern form of getting elected is not to actually do anything. Because if you solve a problem then you can't scare your voters with that problem in the future.

An example of this is abortion. Conservatives could always count on the one issue, "pro-life" voter to give them their vote to ban abortion. Now that it's become easier for states to restrict abortion there is less incentive for these one issue voters to come out to the polls.

I fear that the left is starting to see the effectiveness of the "scare the voter" strategy and will drag their feet on certain hot topic issues like abortion so they can get more votes.

• Managed to delay starting work for weeks due to Speaker votes impasse
• Held numerous hearings investigating Biden's son and the origins of COVID-19, resulting in no substantial findings
• Ensured that an $858 billion defense spending bill passed, but it was mostly a continuation of previous policies
• Brought forth a bill proposing cutting federal food stamp benefits by approximately $13 billion over ten years
• Passed a resolution condemning Antifa and Critical Race Theory, without any legislative actions following through
• Held multiple congressional meetings on the dangers of TikTok and Big Tech while doing little about them
• Introduced and passed a bill prohibiting federal funding for gender-affirming care for transgender minors, which President Biden ultimately vetoed
• Pushed for a national sales tax to replace income taxes but failed to gain support
• Proposed a bill to ban earmarks but later reversed their decision after facing backlash from within the party
• Made headlines with a proposal to cut off federal funds for schools teaching "divisive concepts," but the bill died in committee.

What?

Attempting to restrict medical care and the rights of gay people not sitting well with you?

Isn't that what they wanted?

What, cant run on grievances in perpetuity?

Having no achievements never stopped them before.

They have a base of people who don't care about material change or want any policy that is net positive in their lives.

Republicans are a waste of carbon.

So what you’re saying is that you may have to face the consequences of your own actions?

Damn. The struggle is real.

Seems like they've gotten pretty far just by scapegoating and peddling grievances, would be odd if they suddenly started caring about accomplishments.

There never has been, that's why they focus on just dumb ass culture wars. They'll probably find weird obscure incident from a single trans kid in school and run their entire platform on that, about woke or some shit.

Being the least-productive Congress in American history is a kind of accomplishment...

At least they're consistent.

Don't be upset, Republicans. You also have no positive achievements in the 40 years leading up to 2024 as well.

aww come on, they've destroyed just as much if not more than they usually do

Welp, guess it's time for them to fabricate another crisis to try to pin on Democrats!
