Well last time they tried to get rid of it, but John McCain sank that effort as if failed 49-51. Just before he died of cancer.
Now all the John McCains have been purged from the GOP and they will have a bigger senate majority, and likely a significant house majority too. So if there is an effort to repeal the ACA, it’ll very likely pass.
All it takes to eliminate the filibuster is a bare majority. Democrats did it selectively to carve out exceptions for the few promises they actually wanted to fulfill.
And I was pissed off about that but now have to reluctantly give them credit for that. Turned out to be the right call.
But if they actually use it, the way McConnel did when he was in the minority, then the Republicans will finally get rid of it. They don’t need it, as they will never again be the minority party.
There is no way we don’t get a massive recession or worse in Trump’s presidency. MAGA won’t care, but a lot of the idiot moderates always blame the incumbent party and will vote in a Democrat.

That has gotta be hugely unpopular right?
People would absolutely flip out if we go back to “preexisting conditions”.
Non stop full busters for 4 years?
Is that our only hope?
Dems could expand the court as well before January
And republicans would expand it again 🤷♀️

They should get out of the way. It appears the majority want this.
It would seem that many need a reminder of how bad it can be.
Do the majority of people want ACA appealed or do the majority of people not understand what’s coming for them?
Given all the people who wanted to “Repeal Obamacare and replace it with the ACA!”
The latter
¯\_(ツ)_/¯ guess we’ll see hu?
Either way, they’ll get what they voted for.
You mean filibuster. The Democrats didn’t eliminate it under Biden out of fear for what Republicans would do when they took power again. Guess what?

Pretty much, honestly I think Kamela would have won if they just put up a reel-to-reel film reminding people Covid-19 is Trump’s fault
They did, nobody who needed to hear it listened. They were all busy voting on a single issue.
They’re going to get rid of the filibuster anyways?
Doing, ding. Winner right here!
