Republicans in Congress Passively Wait for the Executioner

Republicans control Congress and the presidency, but 10 months into the 2025-2026 term, they have little to show for it… as usual.

It’s important to remember that most of the positive results we’ve benefited from in 2025 have come either unilaterally from the president or through independent actions from individual states. The overwhelming nature of President Trump’s efforts have led to extraordinarily positive policy changes on illegal immigration, prescription drugs, trade, welfare, education, taxes, small businesses, fossil fuel production, regulations, defense, foreign policy and a host of other issues.

However, ordinary Americans still live with an underlying sense of unease they find difficult to explain. With all the positive changes the president has made, there is an ominous sense that disaster awaits like a murderous road bandit just around the bend, hidden out of sight.

The Difference Between Temporary Policies and Permanent Institutions

The source of American discomfort comes from a recognition, even if subconscious, that nearly every positive policy the president has changed, rescinded or created can and will be reversed with the stroke of an autopen, when eventually, a woke leftist Democrat lunatic becomes president. Make no mistake, the rage that has swelled within the ranks of the suicidal empaths within the radical leftist movement will ultimately belch out the most psychotic leftist candidate in their ranks.

Right now, it looks like Governor Gavin “Slick” Newsom is the front runner, but don’t count out Mamdani or Ocasio-Cortez. In the Democrat Party, the lunatics are literally running the asylum.

As Trump has once again proven, the most horrific leftist policies can ultimately be reversed after a fresh election cycle, but what is almost impossible to reverse are foundational and institutional changes to the mechanisms that dictate the ground rules for our system of government. Democrats are so eager to permanently rid themselves of the prospect of another Trump-like candidate, it’s almost certain they will not hesitate to pull the trigger on transformational modifications to the American political system that may never be undone.

The Democrats Comprehensive Strategy

It will start with repealing the filibuster.

While strangely silent as they used the filibuster against Trump and the American people during the recent government shutdown, Democrats were loud and demanding in calling for its elimination during Joe Biden’s term. The growing and more radical wing of the party views the filibuster as nothing more than an impediment to their rightful place as authoritarians. Right now, because it serves a purpose, it makes sense to keep calls for the elimination of the filibuster quiet. However, make no mistake, if and when Democrats control Congress again, they’ll come out of their dark rat holes, and you’ll hear the same demands they made in 2021-2024, when 21 Democrat Senators went on record in favor of its elimination, and only two wanted to keep it.

Once the filibuster is eliminated, Democrats will quickly pursue three societal-changing initiatives. They will vote to give Puerto Rico and the District of Columbia statehood, which would add four reliable Democrat votes in the Senate in perpetuity and add five or six Democrat seats in the House.

This effort would run in tandem with an aggressive attempt to add a sufficient number of justices to the Supreme Court to ensure Democrats held a permanent majority. SCOTUS has been a thorn in the side of Democrats for decades, and there is no single item on their agenda that ranks higher in importance.

With Congress and the Supreme Court firmly in their control, essentially forever, Democrats will quickly pass a bill giving citizenship to the 10-20 million illegal aliens in the country, thus providing an insurmountable advantage in registered voters, which will virtually guarantee a Democrat will win every future presidential election and most national elections.

With only a whimper and fake outrage from most Republicans as they watch the future of their party disintegrate, Democrats will exercise complete and total control of government for generations.

The Strategy Republicans Should be Pursuing but Won’t

The Republican approach of hoping Democrats will develop a sense of honor and not launch these tactical political nukes the next time they control all three branches of government is not a strategy. It’s like hoping Hamas would develop a sense of honor and not kill the Israeli hostages. It just isn’t going to happen. Modern Democrats are vicious, power-hungry authoritarians. Like other governments run by dictators, the ends justify the means, and there is no option too slimy or underhanded if it achieves their objectives.

For some reason, ordinary Americans understand this, but feckless Republicans in Congress do not. That’s why they were dismissive of President Trump’s call to preempt the Democrats, end the filibuster and use their current majority to institute their own foundational changes. Democrats want to pack the Supreme Court? Great. How about four new conservative justices? They want to add new states? Wonderful. How about adding American Samoa and the Northern Mariana Islands, both of which lean toward the conservative philosophy? Coupled with the continued aggressive deportation of illegal aliens, culling ineligible people from the voter rolls, and implementing voter ID laws, average Americans might be able to breathe easy for a change knowing they are secure from the leftist lunacy.

Who knows, some of them might even decide to start a family.

But that isn’t going to happen because many Republicans in Congress like being invited to the A-list parties in DC and avoiding bad press in the New York Times and MSNBC. Some of them seem to find more areas of agreement with Democrats than they do with their own constituents. So, like Trump’s first term, Republicans will likely squander their advantage while waiting and hoping Democrats regain control of Congress so they won’t have the burden of governing as the majority party anymore.

Looking at America’s political future is the equivalent of looking at Doppler radar and watching a Cat 5 hurricane slowly approaching. You know it’s coming, but there is not much you can do about it.
