The 4 Years Democrats Held Full Power: A Period of Unmatched Progress in the Last 16 Years

  • by

The Republican claim that Democrats held power for “12 out of the last 16 years” is highly misleading. In reality, Democrats had control of the Senate, House, and White House for only 4 of those years—2009-2010 under Obama, and 2021-2022 under Biden. During these periods, Democrats passed significant legislation like the Affordable Care Act (ACA), the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act, and the Dodd-Frank Act, which helped stabilize the economy after the 2008 financial crisis. In Biden’s term, key achievements included the American Rescue Plan, the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, and the Inflation Reduction Act.

For the remaining 12 years, Republicans either held the House, Senate, or both, and they used their majorities to obstruct Democratic efforts to pass meaningful legislation. The myth that Democrats have held continuous power ignores this obstruction and undermines the legislative progress made during the brief periods when Democrats held a unified government.

Republicans in the White House Could Destroy Your Favorite Online Community–or Turn It into a Hub of Hatred

The Trump team plans threaten free speech, especially in online communities that challenge conservative views, including those related to non-belief in god and science. Project 2025 aims to eliminate legal protections for online platforms, which could lead to widespread censorship or the shutdown of spaces that allow open discussion. The danger is clear: a Trump administration could severely limit the ability to freely express non-religious and critical perspectives online, leading to a more hostile and censored internet landscape.
