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? 

Who is in charge becomes an issue when one party is making a lack of transparency, no democratic accountability, and conspiracy theories their platform, but yea, the actual concern is those specific things. 

I'm suggesting that Democrats will control the Senate far less than Republicans will, so they'll regret getting rid of the filibuster when they're inevitably no longer the majority in the Senate.
