Republicans are projected to keep control of the House of Representatives, handing the party total control of Washington with former President Trump back in the White House in January.

Decision Desk HQ projected the GOP would hold the House by winning its 218th seat on Monday, the number needed for a majority in the lower chamber.

Didn't the Republicans get a trifects in 2016 though? I seem to be Mandela effected or something, because I'm pretty sure they did, then dems won 2018 and got their owm "trifecta" im 2020 (unless you're counting SCOTUS). It's still really bad but it seems like it's being talked about as a totally new circumstance.

IIRC yes, though it wasn't fillibuster-proof, but then again I don't think this one is either?
