We shall see. Let's remember, most of the Republicans who were in the House and Senate during the attempted coup 4 years ago were terrified, and the intimidation worked.

They don’t have the votes to break a filibuster even if it gets by their 3 seat House majority

I think if it comes down to them being otherwise able to pass extremist legislation that the filibuster will be tanked. McConnell won’t be in charge to protect it anymore and they’re all terrified of Trump.

If it’s just one or two things that squeak through the house it can survive. If they are able to get things out of the house over and over again, I expect otherwise.

Fortunately I do not think they will be very productive with a three seat house majority.

And to keep that House margin as tiny as possible, and perhaps even reduce it further, Democrats need to run the best-suited candidates and invest huge resources in every upcoming special election – even in longshot Red districts.
