    Lathe time: Dems get rid of filibuster a week before losing both houses to Republicans, who now can not be filibustered (the dems never did this anyway so this outcome won't change the future)

      Nah it doesn't matter, the Republicans get everything they want including filibuster carveouts whenever they end up actually needing one

      Dems do use the filibuster. That's why the biggest legislation out of the Trump admin was the tax cuts (that went through budget reconciliation)

      But Republicans benefit more from the fillibuster since the Supreme Court advances their goals (as we have been seeing)
