Okay cool.People have received student loan forgiveness and the only reason more haven’t is because of the Republican Supreme Court and republican challenges in court.
The Affordable Care Act is law.
The assault rifle ban was real.
The George Floyd Act was proposed and blocked by republicans.
The John Lewis Voting Rights Act was proposed and blocked by republicans.
An immigration bill was proposed and blocked by republicans.
The child tax credit was increased under Biden.
And that’s just off top of my head in the moment.
Republican Pros:
No Child Left Behind Act was passed by Republicans and allowed parents that lived in failing school zones(disproportionately Black) to send their children to better performing schools.
Trump signed the FUTURE Act which increased funding to HBCUs
Trump signed the HBCU partners act which increased HBCU access to federal grant money
Trump also raised the child tax credit in 2017
Republicans removed the individual mandate from the Affordable Care Act which was a burden on the poor and working class and a gift to insurance companies
The conservative Supreme Court successfully blocked Biden’s OSHA Covid vaccine mandate which would have led to the firing of 10s of thousands of private sector employees nationwide, including a disproportionate amount of Black employees because they were over represented amongst the unvaccinated.
Trump signed the First Step Act which undid some of the racially rooted sentencing disparity caused by the 1994 Crime Bill (sponsored by Biden, signed by Clinton)
Republicans routinely protect gun rights—gun control has historically been aimed at keeping guns out of the hands of Black people
