Opinion: Without an end to the filibuster there is no way to stop the GOP’s plan to transform our democracy into an autocracy.

Arizona Sen. Kyrsten Sinema still won’t budge on the filibuster.
I’m not sure how much more proof Sen. Kyrsten Sinema needs.
Late last week, Donald Trump’s White House chief of staff, Mark Meadows, turned over to House investigators looking into the Jan. 6 insurrection a 30-plus page PowerPoint presentation designed, essentially, to overturn the 2020 election.
In other words, to stage a coup.
Then, the retired U.S. army colonel who was part of the team who created the plan told The Washington Post that he had spoken to Meadows “maybe eight to 10 times” the night before the U.S. Capitol was attacked.
Think of that.
Republicans at the highest level of the government were in possession of a blueprint to overthrow the government.
Some politicians won’t certify elections
How much more proof does Sinema need of the GOP’s concerted effort to, one way or another, rig the election process or completely circumvent it in order to seize and maintain power?
Look at what GOP politicians are doing at the state level.
