The nuclear option.
🏛️ PANIC IN DC 🏛️
Trump is Truthing about using the nuclear option to end the filibuster and reopen government. But I think that there could be a bigger play involved. Without the filibuster, the Republicans could remove and replace Obamacare, pass the Save Act, etc.
The Democrats made us do it. It was for the starving children. 😎😎😎
I think they're just in the same position that Republicans were in 2008-2016. No charismatic leader. Populace disenchanted with the previous administration. Policies too focused on cultural issues and not economics. We ran two deeply unpopular candidates in a row to massive losses because we didn't have any great options. We only held onto the House bc Americans don't like one party in power.
That's why we're holding onto Trump for dear life. The Q plan could change that, but as long as there are two options some people will move between them when they feel like they aren't being heard or just tired of one. If the GOP gets big enough to where Dems don't matter it will fracture in two and one will just be Dem-lite.
Criminal and civil liability may crush the democrat party. What happens? I think a new party will be created or the green party will be taken over. It will still be the party of loose morals and free stuff.
My hope would be the new party would be the actual Conservative party and the neo-cons stay in the old GOP party whereas ours would involve heavier vetting. Guys like McConnell and Thune are closer to Dems than they are conservative, let's let them sit in the same pot.
Nice thought. With a crushed democrat party, we could rename the Republican Party, the MAGA party. And kick out the RINOS. And I like the lion symbol better.
