Trump on ending the filibuster: "If we do it, we will never lose the midterms and we will never lose a general election ... it would be impossible to lose an election."

I agree. If they end the filibuster, then everyone who sees their insurance rate rise to bankrupting levels, and everyone who loses their medicaid, and everyone who loses their area hospital, and everyone who loses any other safety net program will know that the GOP shafted them completely.

Making it "impossible to lose an election" is wildly inconsistent with democracy. Win or die, Trump's proposition, is an immediate danger, Don't pay attention at your own peril.

Most of the journalists there are probably from right wing media, so they won’t push back. The rest won’t say anything because they will lose their press credentials or/and told by the higher ups to keep quiet. The press literally is serving Trump’s agenda instead of serving us unbiased reporting.

Does making it more difficult to vote really help the GOP? I figure many mail in voters are televangelist and Fox news watching shut ins or folks out in the reddest of rural districts. Happy to be corrected if this is just an uninformed stereotype

Supposedly, people will be so thrilled with what Republicans get done without the filibuster that they'll vote for Republicans forever. His break from reality is nearly complete.

The federal government does not control elections. The states and districts do. He's an idiot with no plans and no idea what the filibuster does. The GOP won't go for it because the filibuster is the only thing keeping Dems from expanding the courts, making DC a state, etc.

(I mean he's not, like, bluffing Schumer and Jeffries or nothin'🤦) Let 'em end the filibuster! Tread water until we get the Senate and WH back (at this point, only the Dems can fuck that up!) Then on a simple majority pack the Supreme Court with 7 Socialists, and launch Nuremberg II.

It's been the plan for decades and they are going for it backed by billionaires. Tech bros waiting in the wings for when trump croaks. Viktor Orban met with trump at Mar-A-Lago then the Heritage Foundation. This was documented and out for everyone to see in 2024. No one gave a shit.

Do they have any comprehension that all the gerrymandering, voter manipulation and flat out cruelty just may not work in their favor? They are assuming that everyone that always votes Repub will only vote Repub. There may be a significant portion that will finally say "I've had it" and vote D.

It’s another one of those comments where he’ll have the exact opposite take in 5 years, like how there are only government shutdowns under weak presidents

This is exactly opposite to what Speaker Mike Johnson just said this week. The Republicans would never win again. DC and PR become states, free healthcare etc. Talk about disconnect and united messaging.

The idea is to rig the election so much that we have a Russia type election in 2026 and then the GOP will end up with 75% of seats in both houses of congress and then the GOP will pass a law to undo the 22nd amendment. They aren’t as smart or cute as they think they are.

If he does this it will be the greatest win that Democrats have ever had. Democrats are too busy to do this themselves and Democrats are winning in 2026 and 2028 no matter what laws they pass no matter what voter suppression shit they do they're fucked. So please get rid of the filibuster.

The more he decides to fuck with the election process, the more energy the other side will bring overcoming those schemes. And if he tries to impose one-party rule the country will grind to a halt & bring him down. We just learned there’s a strong majority that absolutely hates what’s happening.

I for one would not bet on you never losing an election again or to say it more plainly, I would bet on you losing an election (again) filibuster or no filibuster because people just don’t like orange slime.

If they eliminate the filibuster, then he better hope that they lose a future election, because the alternative means finding some rope and directions to the nearest esso station.

Yes, no more mail voting, no early voting, day of only. There's no way a major city can do all their voting in one day. Only small rural towns will be able to get all the votes in.

He says the quiet part out loud: power without limits, elections without risk. This isn’t about democracy, it’s about domination. A man who sees winning as ownership, not a mandate.

Contrary to what you think, the rest of the world knows that Americans are just about the dumbest people on earth. And then you get the leader you deserve. The problem is that the rest of the world is also starting to suffer more and more from that fascist.
