With Republicans in control of the White House plus both chambers of Congress, the Democrats will have one important tool for checking the power of the majority party: the filibuster

They'll probably go after it then. Both parties have historically done things to curtail filibustering, can't imaging that won't happen quickly if it becomes the dems number one tool.
They will change the cloture rule - not filibuster- get the term right Bloomberg. The senators can speak in the chamber as long as they’d like (filibuster).
Republicans will end the filibuster. If people think the totalitarians in Red are going to just casually let things be, you’re sadly mistaken like the rest of the fools who voted for it.

They'll no longer fear what would happen if they overturned it & then Dems came back because...Trump will corrupt the system so MAGA never leaves.
