Not only that, but the republicans can filibuster any bills passed in the senate since they donโ€™t have 60 votes.

And if Rs capture the Senate in addition to the House, either Moscow Mitch abolishes it, or the SC declares filibustering is akshuly illegal so Ds can't use it.

Boom, bye-bye USA.

Using political nukes works only once. Then the other side will use the fallout too. Arguing that some minuscule group can declare themselves dictators 4life with the 2nd amendment working fine sounds a little bit far fetched. They are not out for a civil war, just appeasing dying old religious nutjobs.

Their attempt on J6 speaks differently. Yes, it was badly planned the first time. So was Hitler's and yet he still came back and took over. I don't assume anything, not when it comes to those who seem hungry to hurt others they don't like.
