Senator Angus King, who had previous voiced opposition to getting rid of the Senate filibuster rule, talks with Rachel Maddow about how Republican abuse of the rule to block everything without even any debate, even on matters critical to the health of democracy in the United States, is changing his perspective on reforming the filibuster. Aired on 10/20/2021.

3. I have said it before on DU.

Republicans know they have an ideology that is “withering on the vine” and is not able to work, with the changing dynamics and diversity of the people, the evolving economy and the needs of people struggling to make a living.

What Senator king is saying about our democracy coming to an end, is the way Republicans can get whatever they want without loyal opposition.

Republicans had already been working on military personnel over the decades. They also have the militias and are working on police support.

Once these largely organized, heavily armed groups fully buy into Republican reason, that elections are all fraudulent. Those laws being enacted to take the popular vote away from the people, and instead give that power to partisan state legislators will become a harsh reality.

When it gets to that tipping point, it’s “game over for our Democratic Republic”.
