Folks think for yourself and don’t feed into false narratives pushed mainly by the media. It doesn’t add up when you look at facts.

The reality is that the Republicans in Congress, other than obstructing (Trump and Obama), can't agree on nearly anything, and when they do it's usually watered down Democratic mush. The Democrats in Congresswalk in lockstep when they are in power, and when they are out. Bush/Obama/Trump haven't swayed the Democratic block anyway that the party didn't want them to go.
It's not in good faith that Republicans refused to be in lock step, it's simply that there isn't a unified Republican ideal. In a sense, that has helped them win so many governors and house races. It's easier to win local elections if you are running on local issues. Look at the upcoming SC confirmations. Schumer (or a different party head) said as much, if you are a Democrat you need to risk your seat for the party. There isn't one Republican congressman that would dare make that statement, because their constituent base isn't the national media, but their local flavor of republicanism.
