The Democrats will do it the first minute they take power. The only way to prevent them from doing it is to pass the SAVE act so they can’t cheat. And the only way to pass the SAVE act is to remove the filibuster. The Civil War will start then anyway. I say let’s get it over with. At least this way we save our elections. [Quoting @KurtSchlichter]: This is exactly correct. As frustrating as the filibuster can be, you get rid of the filibuster, and you are bringing us to the edge of Civil War. I am not exaggerating.

📊Full Analysis

🔥 Based Retort: The SAVE Act doesn't require nuking the filibuster—it requires persuading 10 Democrats or negotiating changes. If your only path forward is 'burn down the system,' you're not defending elections, you're abandoning the constitutional order that makes elections meaningful. Real election integrity comes from building coalitions, presenting evidence, and winning arguments—not from assuming your opponents will cheat and preemptively destroying institutional safeguards. Schlichter is right: removing the filibuster risks civil conflict. The answer isn't 'let's do it anyway because they'll do it first'—that's the logic of mutual destruction, not statesmanship.
