Far as I have ever seen then always made compromises and raised the ceiling no matter who was in charge. Still takes 60 votes to break a filibusterer. Does not matter who is in charge. It is a combined effort. Are you saying you are for Republican ideas? So what trinket are you after that allows you to come to the idea that dudes should look at your daughter in the locker room?

Budget reconciliation, Delta -- that's how TCAJA got through with a bare majority in the Senate. It's more cumbersome, but certainly possible for one party to jam through spending bills with a bare majority. That's actually the process being used for the covid bill, so keep your eye on it.
What I'm really saying is that if it weren't for (silly) wedge social issues, there are many of us moderates who share concerns that republicans used to espouse (national debt / balanced budget). Consider whether the hermaphrodite in the locker room is actually the trinket that the GOP is trying to sell you (after they've already sold you the muslim ban, the wall, the immigrant caravan, and on and on).
Haha also consider whether the Apples, Facebooks, Googles, and Teslas of the world are "apparently" good corporate citizens while they continue to scrape and monetize everyone's data for their stockholders' profit. If they can keep the political class focused on whose speech is being curtailed or expanded, or whose message is being favored, or when a kid got a boner in the locker room, then the pols aren't looking at how big tech is fleecing all of us for our personal data.
Me personally, I've never been hired by a poor person, but I've never been hired by a rich one either. Rather some slightly older, marginally wealthier middle class cog in the big machine.
