When was the last time there was a true conservative legislative victory?

And I mean something with some sticking power. Not an EO or symbolic victory.
I can’t think of anything post WW2. There have been a few low hanging fruit things that Reagan and Trump did with tax cuts, but that’s about all I can think of.
Eisenhower had some productive infrastructure projects, that were good.
Would almost need to go back to Coolidge era immigration reform.

What do you consider a “conservative” issue/policy these days?

Much of the conservative movement since the 1960s has been more focused on blocking progressive legislation, appointing judges, deregulation through executive action, and cultural battles rather than passing major new legislative frameworks.

Repeal and replace would've been nice. It's been 10 years since a draft of the ACA replacement was announced during debates in 2016.

Probably Newts Congress passing spending cuts and welfare reform that led to a budget surplus in the late 90s

This is a term that everyone has their own definition for
At the heart of it, a conservative believes there is a God, and that they are not God. Countries are sovereign, and people are flawed cannot be perfected.

The tax cut in his first term. That’s all I got.

Not a legislative victory, but I am very grateful that murder is no longer a constitutional right held by half the population.

Trump tax cuts, and then the extension of those tax cuts with the OBBB.

I see what you are getting at, but don't discount how important blocking bad legislation can be. If it weren't for Republicans, Joe Manchin, and Kristen Synema there would have been trillions MORE of so-called COVID relief and green energy pork that would have spiked inflation and the debt even more. Not dealing with those extra trillions is a big deal. It is, however, human nature not to appreciate harm avoided. It is one reason why communism never goes away and capitalism is so derided. Too many people don't consider how much worse off we would be if communism had prevailed for the last 100 years while assuming that all of the good things we have today--longer life expectancy, the smallest percentage of the world living in absolute poverty ever--would exist without the free markets that drove these accomplishments. But I digress ...

When they banned earmarks.
Of course earmarks are back.
But it was gone for 10 years.
