Calm Down, Conservatives... Kurt Schlichter

Calm Down, Conservatives
Kurt Schlichter


Many of my fellow America First conservatives need to take a chill pill and calm the hell down. I get the frustration. I get the irritation. We’ve waited decades for justice. We’ve waited decades to use the power granted to us by the American people to reshape this country back into something like it was rather than the gross, formless blob of neo-commie failure it has become. But this Gramscian Rome wasn’t built in a day, and we’re not going to burn it down overnight, no matter how hard we fiddle. Start taking “Yes” for an answer, conservatives.

Let’s take some of the more common gripes, starting with the complaint that our Congress hasn’t passed anything. But, of course, Congress has passed several things. It passed the Laken Riley Act to keep Third World savages who are illegally here locked up. It just overturned the ridiculous California “no gas engines” law. So, the objection is not that the Republicans haven’t passed anything. It’s that the Republicans haven’t passed enough.

But there’s a structural fact that frustrated conservatives refuse to admit exists. This is why most of our actions must be taken via executive orders. Because of the Senate filibuster, we have to get 60 votes, but we have only 53 Senators. All the Democrats hang together, breaking the neck of our legislation.

Kurt:
"Because of the Senate filibuster, we have to get 60 votes, but we have only 53 Senators."

I've said this before, and I'll say it again.
It's time to end the Senate filibuster.

The Constitution mentions those special instances where a "supermajority" is required.
I realize the argument is that "the Senate can set its own rules", but the 60-vote requirement goes against the spirit of the Constitution's requirement of "majority rule" (50% +1).

Time to take our chances by abolishing the filibuster.
Yes, there is risk.
But... no chance of really moving forward until this is done.

I guess most Republicans and so-called self-proclaimed "conservatives" are just fine with the status quo.

I'm not.
