not true, they do not have a super majority in the Senate and need a handful of Democrats to vote with them to achieve the 60 votes they need.

that said, somehow the Democrats always find Republicans to compromise with them when they have a simple majority, so I do not know why it is so hard for the Republicans to soften their demands enough to peel off some moderates to vote with them

There is no law requiring 60 votes. Only a senate rule, which can be overturned with 51 votes.

Because they’re in a cult. I mean this as an actual functional explanation. Compromise in the modern GOP is seen as disloyalty and you will immediately come into the crosshairs of literally the biggest bully on the planet and his hordes of enablers.
