STOP the argument about preserving tradition and the “institutions of the Senate”. It’s really pretty basic. Do it now while we have the opportunity to enact nationwide voter‑ID and other  fair election rules, aggressive immigration restrictions and rapid deportation, elimination of sanctuary jurisdictions, large tax and spending changes, and limits on progressive social policies.

If we don’t, the Dems will take any new power they acquire to enact THEIR warped, anti-traditional policies all of which will hasten the demise of our country, and will they themselves abolish the filibuster for their own ends. Look at what’s going on in Virginia right now!

Hell, it was THEY who argued most vehemently for abolition when they were in power, and it was Harry Reid that abolished it for Senate confirmations of judges and cabinet members.

Several Democratic senators have been especially prominent in public campaigns to end or fundamentally weaken the filibuster:

• Elizabeth Warren (D‑MA) has repeatedly called the filibuster a “veto for the minority” and a “Jim Crow relic,” arguing for full abolition so that majorities can pass voting‑rights, labor, and economic reforms.
• Ed Markey (D‑MA) has been one of the bluntest voices, running explicit “abolish the filibuster” messaging, tying it to climate, democracy, and gun‑violence legislation in speeches and online campaigns.

• Chuck Schumer (D‑NY), as majority leader, became the institutional face of efforts to carve out or end the filibuster for democracy and voting‑rights bills, trying to rally reluctant Democrats around targeted rule changes.
• Raphael Warnock (D‑GA) and Cory Booker (D‑NJ) have framed the filibuster as fundamentally incompatible with protecting voting rights, with Warnock in particular giving high‑profile floor speeches likening it to past tools of voter suppression.

• Jeff Merkley (D‑OR) has for years pushed to replace the silent, routine filibuster with a talking filibuster or simple majority rule, making him one of the earliest and most consistent Senate voices for major reform or abolition.
• Amy Klobuchar (D‑MN), especially in her role overseeing elections issues, has pressed to weaken or bypass the filibuster for democracy legislation, arguing that procedural rules should not block basic voting protections.

So let’s rub their noses in their own words and  ABOLISH IT NOW while WE are in the majority!

The answer lies in PRODUCTION VALUES.

“Huh?”

It’s simple. Democrats, their acolytes and their lemming followers are only influenced by input that either tugs at their heartstrings, tickles their fancies, are shiny objects or evoke outrage and anger. They do NOT respond to facts, evidence, good news, REALITY, even when it’s right in front of their eyes or smacks them in the face (e.g. falling gas prices, falling mortgage rates, reductions in crime, a secure border, exposure of fraud, waste and abuse, etc.).

Deceptively edited video, audio, soaring or sinister music…i.e. production values, are what Democrats respond to.

Coupled with selective broadcast over the internet in all social media forms, the Left’s deliberate, performative theatrics, replete with outright lies and misrepresentations but accompanied by emotion-producing color serve up an alternative reality that causes feeble, indolent, Leftist minds to perceive the world in a way that’s almost exactly opposite of what really is.

“ICE is evil.”

“Orange Man Bad”

“No Kings”

And so on and so forth…slogans, epitaphs (on pre-printed signs), chants, weeping, whaling and gnashing of teeth… now, overt profanity to add “shock value” to camera appearances…all designed to garner attention, gen up outrage, fear and mob violence…

We have to counter with our own, high-production value communications and media. How we do that is the bailiwick of the conservatives with the money, clout and skills to do so. The work of Newsmax, One America News Network, still to some extent Fox News, the blogs, eZines and in particular, Hollywood outlets that create their own heartstring-tugging, patriotic, heroes in white hats, wholesome and positive content…need to keep up and accelerate their good work.

Karoline Leavitt, bless her heart, the Right-leaning media and the White House talking heads have a monumental job countering all the BS the Democrats/Left throw in the air. We’re slowly turning the tide but judging by the fact that we recently lost a number of high-profile elections and that there is still an overwhelming amount of unadulterated Democrat/Leftist nonsense permeating the atmosphere, it’s an uphill battle.

But we’ve won uphill battles (Iwo Jima) before, and God willing we’ll win this one too!
