to justify attacking marginalized people and foreigners. From the 60s through the early 2000s externally it was the Russians, then after 9/11 it was Islam; and internally it was commies (there were hardly ever any in the US), black and Hispanic people, the anti war and civil rights movements (now it's DEI and BLM), always gays and lesbians but now Trans people over anyone else.

But deliver on health care (Medicare for all) retirement security ( save Social Security) education ?
No. That's not on the Republican agenda. Never has been.
