Republicans want a tyranny of the minority. No sacrifice, including democracy itself, is too great if it means maintaining an iron grip on power. I do not know if passing the For the People act will negate these state level Republican election laws, but if passing that legislation requires eliminating the filibuster, right now I doubt the Democrats will be able to do so, and Republicans should have an excellent chance at retaking both houses of Congress in 2022. When it will then be too late.If we're not careful we might end up with a political system that is far far far worse than the two-party system we have now, and that's a single-party system. And that's terrifying.
But, I continue to believe that reactionary political power, and a reactionary grip on culture, is doomed to fail in the long run. But it may be hell to pay putting it down for the sake of our national well being.
