JD Vance pointed out that the only thing that kept the Democrats from eliminating the filibuster when they had controlled Congress was Sinema and Manchin. Both are gone. The filibuster is gone the instant the Democrats take Congress again - if Republicans refuse to eliminate now, while they hold Congress, they deserve to lose forever.

This is the moment that the GOP may turn into the Tories in the UK.

Trump can switch to America Party.

If RINOs are resisting then he may have to do that.

Even if the gop gets rid of it, you can bet when the democommies get in control again, we’re gonna get bent over with no lube.

Just remember, regardless of which side gets rid of the Filibuster, both sides can use it.

When Schumer got rid of the Filibuster for Judges, the Republicans used it to get 3 Judges on the Supreme Court and to put dozens of Trump judges on the Lower courts, all of which would have been blocked by the Democrats had Schumer not gotten rid of the Filibuster.

If the Republicans get rid of the Filibuster now, the Democrats will use it when they have power, and they want have to do anything because the Filibuster would have been eliminated for them by the Republicans.

If ever there was a time to eliminate the filibuster it is now. The R’s can say they’re only doing it to protect lives and to prevent lasting damage to the economy. Perfect justifications under the circumstances.
