The Republicans do not have a major legislative victory so far despite controlling the House, the Senate and the Presidency. Much of that is attributable to Republicans in Congress wanting to tread lightly politically so as not to offend. However, in this Divided Era, how the Democrats played politics with the likes of now Justice Gorsuch and the Georgia Democrat Jon Ossoff should be a wakeup call for Republicans. Quite simply, Republicans in Congress are being too timid for the times if they want to enact significant change. In the face of fierce opposition and adverse media coverage, many Republicans in Congress are attempting to walk a tight rope.
