In light of the thread about what democrats can do with 50 senators, can someone refresh my memory of the main things the GOP did between 2017-2019 with the house, senate, and presidency?

Passing a tax cut, appointing two Supreme Court justices and many other lower court judges, plus some minor bipartisan criminal justice reform. Not much else. Then again, at this point the GOP is a professional opposition party with no real ideological substance beyond lowering taxes for the wealthy and expanding the conservative hold on the judiciary.

You can expect more meaningful legislation under a unified Democratic government, since it is a party that actually has some ideas to change the country.

Enabling a cult leader, confirm Federalist Society judges and attempts to take healthcare away from millions of people.

Tax Cut and Jobs Act, a failed attempt at "repeal and replace" of Obamacare/ACA, and lots of deregulation for good or ill.
