McConnell, Murkowski, and Collins would love nothing more than to screw it up. They’ll find a fourth on a lot of this stuff to join in.

The Dems are going to do it guaranteed when they get power again. Might as well beat them to it.

Could they put things in place to stop what Dems would want to do? Like no increasing SCOTUS or adding DC/PR etc.

Also, what good is doing all of this if it can all be reversed?

Democrats would

Add dc and Puerto Rico as states
Let illegals vote
Open borders
Nationalize healthcare
Make Islam the national religion
Defund the police
Eliminate the national guard
Pack the SCOTUS with Liberal retardant judges
Etc tc

The only way this works is if the Democrats Never get power ever again….

So, given the power, Trump wants to trample federalism and run amok, inserting the federal government into a dozen issues that Constitutionally belong to the States.

This, ladies and gents, is right-wing populism at its most-destructive.

They would ban voter ID for all elections, make MIV mandatory nationwide, expand the USSC to 21 or something, make PR a state, etc. The threat of the DEMs using this far greater than what the GOP will gain


They will do this regardless. To keep this from happening would be to pass the items trump has proposed. If they do not it will all be burned to the ground.

Can they abolish the filibuster, Pass all that stuff, then restore the philibuster while still in control?

It only takes 51 votes to remove it, as it is a "rule" of the Senate. So yes it could be removed, have things pass, and then reinstate it.

However, a Democrat controlled Senate could, with a 51-49 majority, remove it again, while claiming they are just following Republican precedent.

When Harry Reid and the Democrats were in control of the Senate during the Obama years, they removed the filibuster for confirming federal judiciary appointments. That specific carve out lead to the Republicans under McConnell changing the rules to remove the filibuster for Supreme Court confirmations.

When you base your argument on nothing but fear-based future projections, you can justify literally anything.

You are justifying your statement off of the assumption that the Democratic Party being sensible and fair. I am stating what is obvious and from precedence. The dems did so in 2013. They will do it again. My god, I wish you were as smart as you thought you were. AI would not be needed.

Probably true and likely the foreseeable end of the GOP in the majority. Murkowski, wanting a job for life will become a democrat. I'm not sure how things look in Maine but I hope Collins is not a 2026 gonner.

Same. There would be some Republicans who will conveniently reject all that... and side with Democrats on opposing all of it. And it will conveniently be just enough of them who do it, to prevent any of it from passing.

Bannon said it the other day. There will never be another Trump. Now is our last chance to codify these things into law.

If you get Voter ID, a new apportionment census and the Supreme Court ends gerrymandering, the Democrats immediately lose the House in perpetuity. Maybe the Senate and the Presidency too if they can't commit election fraud.

If we don't do it now, 100 percent the Democrats do it at the first available opportunity and pack the Supreme Court, grant statehood to DC and Puerto Rico and grant amnesty to 50 million+ illegals. They'll probably codify no Voter ID and mass mail-in ballots too. Then Republicans never win again.

Do we have the courage to end the war while we still have the chance? It's do or die time.

frick Trump. He is a cuck who has agreed to 100% fund food stamps because a judge ordered it even though Congress didn’t fund it. I’m done with him. He could get in front of the press every day and blame democrats for the shutdown but he refuses to do it because he’s a bitch.
