Actually, true that the President is a Dem and so is My governor. But about 28 of the 50 governors are Republicans, the state legislatures are controlled by republicans about 56%-44%. and the National House of Representatives is controlled by republicans and the seante is only controlled by Dems 53-47 and republicans have the power of "filabuster" where on any vote on any billl the Republicans can say "Instead of a simple majoirty it needs 60 votes" and it never passes.
