BREAKING: YES PLEASE! Trump accidentally gives voters the BEST reason to vote Abdul El-Sayed for the U.S. Senate by claiming that it will result in him being "the last Republican President."
"For our Great Republican Senators, friends of mine 'all,' please be advised that the Communist Dumocrat Senate Candidate from Michigan, Abdulrahman Mohamed El-Sayed, is touting, as perhaps his single most important point, the Termination of the Filibuster," Trump wrote on Truth Social.
You can tell from the pathetic, meaningless "communist" smear as well as his fearmongering use of El-Sayed's full Arabic name that Trump is terrified of this candidate. He can see the progressive wave rising and he knows it's going to wash away his fascist MAGA movement for good.
"I watched yesterday, and he’s gone Termination CRAZY," Trump continued. "If he succeeds, the Dumocrats will gain 4 Senators, 8 Congressmen, many Electoral and Popular Votes, a stacked Supreme Court with 23 Justices, and I will be, sadly, despite the great job we are doing, the last Republican President! President DONALD J. TRUMP."
El-Sayed is indeed calling for an end to the filibuster because it's a fundamentally undemocratic mechanism that allows the Senate to function as a tool of right-wing minoritarian rule. Popular programs should not require a 60 vote threshold for implementation, because that gives far too much power to red states with sparse populations.
Thanks to the Senate — which is a historic relic that was designed in large part to appease slaveholders — a single vote in Wyoming carries the effective weight of 67 votes in California. The former state has a population of 590,000 and California is home to 39.4 million people. And yet both states receive just two votes in the Senate.
As for Trump's promise that electing El-Sayed and terminating the filibuster will usher in a new age of Democratic governance, all we can say is: God we sure hope so!
His mention of "4 senators" is presumably a reference to D.C. and Puerto Rico statehood, which would be far easier to pass without the filibuster.
We should also be open to the idea of expanding the Supreme Court. What was once intended to be a neutral body for interpreting the laws that Congress passes has mutated into a corrupt apparatus for Republican control of our civilization. It has become blatantly partisan and must be reformed.
Imagine for a moment what this country would be like if we never had another Republican President. No more pointless foreign wars. No more tax cuts for oligarchs and planet-destroying corporations. No more covering up the Epstein files.
Instead, we'd have Medicare for All, affordable housing, fair wages, paid family leave, a green energy revolution, and an end to support for genocide.
How does that sound to you...?
