"Yet, the Democrats are in complete control. Republicans have 0 power."

The Republican's sole power comes in their ability to shut the government down to force compromises. And they are afraid to use it because using that has cost congress elections in the past.

They can't pass a budget without the Senate. So they are being forced by the senate to either shut the government down or pass spending resolutions.
