No, republicans are blocking everything as a civil war tactic and anything progressive that can help people. There are two corrupt democratic senators who are profiting from being a bottleneck for change. American is not a true democracy, the senate represents geography, not people and there is the "tradition" of the filibuster, 60 votes, the house is gerrymandered and skewed to the republicans by it and the presidency is by electoral college, not democratic vote. In America minorities rule, 90% of voters want new gun laws and restrictions 10% don't and they win, same for abortion and same for almost every issue imaginable.
Then there is the bigotry and tribalism that make the system unworkable and fragile with polarized parities squared off on the historic issue of human rights for African Americans, the republicans have many proxies and dog whistles, few come right out and say it and most don't even realize it's jerking their chain real hard. 70+% of white Americans support the republicans and they can't fuck up enough or be against their own interests enough. For you see they are at war and when you are at war sacrifices have to be made, just like the Ukrainians are doing in away, both are driven my tribalism, but in America it is misapplied.
In America it is the end of the empire of white ethnic domination and in Russia it is the end of their empire too, liberal democracy would probably mean dissolution for Russia. Empires sometimes thrash and scream on the way to the dustbin of history, only the British went more or less quietly into the great goodnight, but there was a bit of bitching and fighting there to.
