despite Republicans being able to do anything they want no matter who or how many people they have elected.

This isn't really true.

See: The ACA.

If Dems had 53 votes like the GOP did in 2017-2018 when they failed to get even that I think they'd actually get voting rights and codified Roe passed.

Reminder that the GOP under Trump actually got very little done. Trump just constantly lied about things that weren't happening. State level GOP has turned more states into absolute hellholes and that's largely because so many states that should hypothetically be purple are gerrymandered into absolute fucking oblivion. Like "Dems get more votes in state races, GOP gets 75% of the seats in state legislature" fucked.

I mean I genuinely don't really see a solution to it either. Like, I passed the despair horizon years ago. The reforms that would be necessary are not ones I see as achievable. But I don't take that as an excuse to not continue to try and vote and advocate in ways to help those who are in a hell of a lot more danger than I am.
