How long will democrats stay in power if they abolish the filibuster? Are we assuming that if the more hardcore members of the GOP regain the government that they won't undo everything that was done with a simple majority vote? That they wont go after our GC and revoke our citizenship. They would be able to pass a bill to do just that; we could sue but then the courts are in the GOP's favor. Imagine if the GOP killed the filibuster as Trump was demanding they do.. what would have happened to us then. I am frustrated by the Senate and their inability to pass anything but there needs to be some kind of check on the party in power.

The party that kills the filibuster will undoubtedly lose control of the senate in the following midterms.

I think the only way forward is through bipartisan support. I could be wrong but I don't see it happening with just the support of a single party. Even if the Dems did kill the filibuster, you are assuming that all dem senators will vote for the bill... including the ones in deep-red states.

Something to keep in mind 95% of people commenting on the fox news article aren't regular Republicans, most comes from anti-immgrant forums sites, is what they do. Do you think regular Republicans would educate themselves on keeping track what happened a decade ago on immigration? They come from competing forums and act like if they were the voice of mainstream

hard to see any compromise coming when the GOP protect members like these:

@KaivanShroff
BREAKING:
@SpeakerPelosi
had to directly intervene to move
@CoriBush’s office away from Marjorie Taylor Greene’s after an altercation took place.

Greene has repeatedly encouraged violence against Democratic officials.
