Don't worry, there won't be anyone left. ...let alone historians. ☹

What will likely baffle them more is how a self-righteous minority somehow managed to wield any power at all to bring these things about. That one stupid rule would be irrelevant if we didn’t have a party that kept doubling down on its denial of reality.

Maybe. If there are any historians left.
Replying to @MehdiHasanShow @mehdirhasan
Or maybe there won’t be historians in the true sense of the word, just propagandist who tell us Orwellian things,

BOTH parties use the filibuster to avoid votes they don't want to cast (eg the $15 minimum wage, which Manchin, Sinema, and several others didn't support). The sooner we all start seeing it that way and holding them accountable, the more responsive our government will be.
