The Democrats have mastered the art of weaponizing the rules to block anything that threatens their radical agenda. Now, they’re whining on national TV that Republicans *could* just change Senate rules to end their costly shutdown standoff, but won’t — all because the GOP supposedly fears setting a precedent. Give me a break. This is the same mindset that’s paralyzed Washington for years, letting the left-run circus grind the government to a halt while scrambling the country’s future.
Let’s get one thing straight: The filibuster rule wasn’t handed down by some sacred Founding Father’s decree. It’s a Senate tradition manipulated to give a permanent veto to the minority party. Democrats use it like a wrecking ball, stopping conservative policies dead in their tracks. Yet when conservatives talk about breaking that chokehold, suddenly it’s “dangerous,” “unprecedented,” or some big moral dilemma. That’s not leadership, that’s cowardice disguised as respect for procedure.
Ok so reps use the rules in place and the dems say shutdown is their fault because they won’t change the rules. How about sign the CR? See? Problems solved.
Dem Rep. Frost: GOP Can Just Change Rules to Break Dems Filibusteringhttps://t.co/ZjFdGHExZp

The GOP’s gripe isn’t with principle—it’s pure political fear. Senators like John Thune openly admit they avoid changing the rules because someday, the tables might turn. Basically, Republicans care more about preserving their privilege and playing nice than actually winning battles for the American people. They’d rather stay shackled than seize control and force the Democrats off the stage where they’ve been blocking all progress.
Meanwhile, the country suffers. The shutdown drags on because Democrats won’t negotiate in good faith, using the filibuster as their ultimate get-out-of-jail-free card. If conservatives really had backbone, they’d rewrite the Senate rulebook, drag the Democrats into the 21st century, and stop this childish standoff. But instead, Republicans cling to this self-imposed handicap, letting leftists hold the nation hostage.
It’s clear: The real problem isn’t only that Democrats refuse to cooperate—it’s that Republicans are too scared to play hardball. If you want to win in politics, you don’t worry about setting “standards” for future balance of power. You fight tooth and nail for America first, and leave the spineless second-guessing for the media hacks. So here’s a simple question: When will the GOP grow a backbone and end the filibuster tyranny, or are they happy standing on the sidelines while liberals wreck the country?
