    That’s one way of seeing it. Another way might be “the years conservatives are in control in Congress are years with lower social service funding”

      If you like, but because of the way the electoral system is set up they have a structural advantage that can only be overcome by economic collapse and social disruption. We never have a Democratic majority without a major disaster under Republicans.

      I guess it’s “fortunate” that every time Republicans get elected, major disaster follows.
