    Democrats at best had a tenuous veto proof majority for not even 2 weeks.

    They had the house, the senate, and the POTUS. That’s “veto proof”. And it was for nearly two years.

    If you mean “filibuster proof”, the filibuster is just a made up rule by the senate. A rule they could have, and should have, discarded the moment they took the senate.

      Whoa, that would mean the democrats have to actually wield their authority in alignment with their purported popular agendas – the very thing they absolutely must never do!
