Imagine a world in which Republicans control all three branches of the government, and in this world, there’s a national election coming. Further, the Republicans are heavily favored to lose.
Now, imagine that the GOP then spit on centuries of precedent and introduced a federal takeover of the voting system in order to try to rig that election. Lastly, when they failed to pass it via traditional legislative means, they then moved to change the rules of the Senate in order to pass it anyway.
What would the reaction be?
Would MSNBC ever shut up about the GOP destroying our “democracy”? How many op-eds would be penned in the New York Times pronouncing the end of our governmental system? Would a world record for the most mentions of the word “coup” be set? What mental institution would
Joy Reid be placed in?
But while that world isn’t real, the one we actually live in includes a Democrat Party
doing everything I just described. And for the first time, Joe Biden himself has endorsed the plan to rig the 2022 election by blowing up the filibuster.
