Of all the things you could reasonably criticize the US over, wheelchair accessibility ain't one of them. Especially compared to Europe.

I thought the idea was that Republicans are actively working on destroying what has been working fine and is benefitting lots of people, not just on preventing more progress.

It's purposefully hyperbolic to illustrate a point. You think that Finland is seriously making all ice cream free?
I would not be the least bit surprised if all the Abbotts and Thomases and Trumps and Desantises (Desanti?) announced tomorrow that they would no longer be supporting the ADA's immoral drain on ~~commercial profits~~ governmental budgets.
And before someone points it out, gutting a system that he has personally benefited from to fuck over Texans is exactly the kind of thing Abbott would do.
They would never make the fish flavored ice cream free. The economy would collapse.

On the other hand, disallowin wheelchair ramps because there are not mentioned in the Bible would be a very American move.
Equal access to every building? Sounds like a commie plot.
A very southern American move
obligatory mention that it's not "The South," but ~30 minutes outside of any metro area in the US.

Especially compared to Europe?
What? Europe very sound protection for the disabled. Putside of historical buildings built before disability care you won't find better access anywhere.
I get America is pretty good too, but your comment makes it sound like Europe is a nightmare for the disabled.

Idk, man. Finland has been posting some Ls recently. The Orpo Cabinet is all about those tax cuts, business-friendly deregulations, big new military spending budgets, and tighter restrictions on immigration.
Basically doing Reaganism, Finnish style.
I wonder why they feel like they need to spend money on their military
I think they're planning a big LAN Party. COD and Rainbow 6, and CS2, of course.

big new military spending budgets
Considering what is going on, that's an L?
tighter restrictions on immigration.

Actually, America is one of the most disabled-friendly country in the world when it comes to access struggles like wheelchair ramps and elevators
Joke's on you, they're just spreading some flavour on all of the snow and it's all salty licorice.
