Exactly. Back then he didn't win both the House and the Senate. Now he's on fire wielding the power that the Dems have had for decades - well, not AS much, since Trump hasn't had USAID recipients on his side ofc.
Much of what he's been able to do so far, has been bc of laws and agencies Obama created.
Biden said that he wouldn't adhere to (and didn't have to) the cities' policies when it came to deportations, and Obama went past congress to sign his government spending cuts and government fraud detecting agency - at least that was some of his last words before publicly signing it. I watched him create the foundation for DOGE dude! Was beautiful :) They never thought they'd be investigated themselves though and that the border would actually be closed. No one to sneak in after your deportations - messes up the ecosystem of both Dems and Reps - freaking badass!
