Ideally, I’d love for Dems to just start taking credit for everything MAGA brags about. Since apparently the Republicans aren’t in charge.

The democrats (including the independents who caucused with them) had a 58% vote share in the senate and 58.8% in the house of representatives in the 111th congress. A supermajority requires two thirds, i.e. 67%.
A supermajority in the Senate is 60 votes which can use cloture to shut down a filibuster. Obama didn’t have one for long, but he squandered it. And yes, he had one.

I stand corrected. But still, that would include 100% of democrats and independents voting in unison, which seems unlikely (think Sinema, Fetterman, Manchin).
