Are you in favor or opposed to the Democratic Party significantly altering and packing the supreme court, eliminating the filibuster and the electoral college? Also, are you willing to accept the consequences of them doing so and whatever additional burdens may be inflicted/imposed on you personally as a result of giving them the right to do so these days?

If President Trump pushes a grossly-incompetent, corrupt, or extremist Justice upon us because he can , then packing the Supreme Court may be a necessity. Eleven justices would still give the GOP a 6-5 edge.

The Republicans essentially turned advise and consent into a form of veto.  I would expect the Democrats to reply without restraint.  The militias so far have not gone violent as long as the rules are being played by, though it is not clear that the Republicans are playing by the rules.

Getting rid of the filibuster is something the majority has a chance to do at the start of each session.  Going back to majority rule as originally intended should not be considered a radical thing.  For years, the Republicans have had the minority blocking the majority.  I am not sure this will work when the crisis comes around.

You threaten consequences too much.  I am starting to associate speaking loudly and doing nothing as part of the way of your Americans.
