So if Republicans take back the Senate and House then the following would be easy peasy...
repealing Obamacare
Eliminate Dept of Ed
Balance the budget
the list goes on...

I do like that some things can't be defeated by a simple majority.

A talking filibuster. The point was allowing the minority to take the floor and make a final case to vote against legislation supported by the majority. But you had to hold the floor and speak to hold up the vote. Today’s filibuster essentially just requires 60 votes to pass anything. It’s bullshite

Once Dems do this the Republicans will still probably allow the filibuster if they are ever in the majority again. Similar to how Dems ignore Republican blue slips but Republicans honor Dems blue slips
Republicans love to lose while taking the high road

If they’re going to end the filibuster, it would be extremely f*cking stupid for them to do it while there’s a republican president. It will achieve nothing as Trump will just veto whatever they pass via a no-filibuster Senate. further, if we can get a majority in the house and a Thune-less majority in the Senate, with a republican president after 2028, then the Republicans could run roughshod using the Democrat own rules.
As always, though, never underestimate the complete f*cking stupidity of a Democrat.
