You … sense? Dude, you’re so stupid, you don’t even realize your own senses lie to you as you lie to yourself.
Everyone with a functioning brain knows the filibuster would be gone the very second it got in the way of McConnell being able to get something he wanted ... and that the only reason it's still standing is that that scenario didn't arise during the Trump administration. It should also be obvious that there's a tactical advantage in being the one to kill it. But blah blah tradition, blah blah congeniality, etc., etc., etc.

https://qz.com/1578862/arrests-for-death-threats-against-us-politicians-rose-in-2018/ "A data analysis performed for Quartz by Athena Chapekis and Lauren Donahoe of the Prosecution Project found that about 75% of those charged for making threats against US politicians come from the ideological right, based on cases going back to 1990.They are almost entirely US citizens, male, and roughly 85% white. About half of the defendants were under 30. The intended targets were primarily Democrats." And when you look at domestic extremist killings, the ratio is something like 20-to-1: https://qz.com/1182778/the-far-right-was-responsible-for-the-majority-of-extremist-killings-in-2017/ "Over the last decade, 71% of domestic extremist related killings in the US were linked to right-wing extremists, while Islamic extremists committed 26% of the killings, the report notes. An Islamic extremist committed the single deadliest incident in 2017: the New York City vehicle ramming attack killed eight people. Left-wing extremists and those who didn’t fall in the previous two categories carried out the other 3% of deaths. 2017 was the second year in a row in which black nationalists committed murders in the US."
