"Minority Rule"

Mitch McConnell began to exploit the system as minority leader to derail the work of the Senate, and Harry Reid responded by going nuclear on appointments. Now Chuck Schumer wants to go full nuclear, which is advantageous now, but what happens when this fluke of Democratic control ends?

The Senate and Electoral College will increasingly represent a superminority.  

I'm not worried about who's in charge--if there is transparency and democratic accountability. 

But it's not clear we can have that going forward, given the mass and permanent disinformation permeating U.S. politics. That is by far the real problem, and what makes issues like the filibuster and "voter integrity" legislation so problematic. 

But are you saying that "full nuclear" will lead to the Senate and Electoral College increasingly representing a superminority?
