…but with a martyr and a somewhat competent leader it’s perfectly plausible that neo-MAGA would’ve had bigger—maybe even filibuster-proof—majorities in Congress
They don’t need any of what you described to go “filibuster proof”
They don’t even filibuster. They threaten to filibuster.
The super majority vote to bypass filibuster is a PARLIAMENTARY RULE. It is not law, they can change the rule at any time with a simple majority vote. This is not in the constitution. They’ve changed the rules a few times since 1975.
They bypass the “filibuster threat” whenever they would like to, by using the simple majority vote.
This is how you know what they want to pass or not. If they want to pass the bill, they bypass the filibuster threat with this simple majority vote (like budgets), there are almost 200 exceptions so far.
No conspiracy is needed to accomplish the objective that you describe. It’s done been done for decades
