suggests that there have been far more filibusters since the Democrats took over the Senate. This also does not take into account the procedural delays (e.g., anonymous holds, filibuster threats) which the Republicans are using in addition to the filibuster.

Maybe you can find some articles from a few years back that decry the Democrats’ use of procedure to delay majority-approved legislation?

Yeah, but there’s also the problem that the current administration is one of the most incompetent in history. Hard to say who deserves more of the blame.
