From the wikipedia net neutrality page it looks like the FCC's stance has historically depended on the administration in power. There was the much celebrated 2015 change to title II, which was undone in 2017 i.e. the start of the ajit pai era. Now he is finally gone, but not before casting his vote in a 3-2 decision in 2020 to keep net neutrality dismantled. The new chair is pro-nn and working to undo the damage but it takes time.

Lol... I laugh everytime I see Republicans undo things in a matter of weeks and then 3 years later Democrats are like.. we wish we could do something but it takes time.

Not surprising, the US telecommunications industry spends over $100 million per year on lobbying. They must be getting something in return.

It's very easy to break something, but fixing it always takes more time/effort/care. Especially if you want to try to improve it or prevent it from breaking in the same way again. You could give a drunk toddler a hammer and set him lose in a museum and he could be extremely destructive in a very short amount of time, but I don't think I'd be laughing about it or thinking the drunk toddler was especially clever for destroying so much, and I wouldn't fault the staff for taking a long time to restore and salvage what they can.

Republicans don't undo things in a matter of weeks. Obamacare is one example. Roe v. Wade is another.

It takes longer than weeks to plan, but when they enact their plans it doesn't take long. Democrats always play the game of... had we only known they could do that, now our hands our tied. Case in point is when they authorized the COVID-19 pandemic relief and then Trump fired the single person responsible for preventing fraud, and Democrats were like... hmm, we did nazi that coming.

You're cherry picking data to confirm a political bias. I'm not interested in trading counter examples, but if you could provide a scientific source that shows the pattern, that might be actually convincing.
