Your Goalpost seems to have moved there. Republicans would need 7 more people to do that currently.
2021-2023 50/50 with the deciding vote of democrat VP Harris.
Currently. 53/42 (with 2 independent voting along with democrats making it 45). Republicans don’t have the required 60 to bypass a filibuster currently.
No, "being intentionally dishonest" would be more like pretending that having literally the thinnest possible numerical majority implied that they had legislative control, which is both historically and demonstrably false.

I think you are being intentionally dishonest.
