Puts them on record. SCOTUS fucking around with the voting rights act and abortion is one thing, elected GOP passing legislation that makes abortion unlawful? Not happening, VRA maybe, equality act, maybe parts of it, but it’s naked aggression from congressmen and women not a trump EO, politics are way different district by district so it’s not a foregone conclusion the GOP undoes those dem priority laws. Plus if they did undo them, then in this fantasy world we are talking about, the Dems are actually decent at the game and they crucify the GOP in elections after the GOP does this.

I'll grant the bolded does, possibly, point to a vastly different situation. But you're assuming we get fair elections.

However, some of the GQP base leaves them if they don't immediately overturn abortion rights protections (they don't have to go as far as you say, just repeal the hypothetically passed abortion protection law). They know that. The new VRA, whatever it looked like, would probably just be gutted again by SCOTUS, so they'd wait on that first. Sure, the Equality Act would probably be safe for a long while, if not indefinitely (maybe not from SCOTUS, though).

They don’t have the numbers in the house to repeal an abortion law.

Ok, so lets pretend for a moment that Dems did pass a bunch of cool a necessary shit. Why do we think they wouldn't simply be undone this year, if not already?

 I would have loved to see the election results after the Dems passed a bunch of cool and necessary shit which is broadly popular with the electorate. That would be a cool experiment.
