The jig is up, folks. They found us out. While everyone in the media was chasing after TFG’s flip-flops on legislating women’s health issues, JD’s abysmal reception at a Boston Firefighter’s Union convention, and The Don’s frolic in a National Cemetery, 
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell slowly and carefully revealed the secret Democratic plan for taking over the government in 2025, when Kamala Harris takes the oath of office on January 20, 2025.
Let’s call it Project Alternative 2025, along the lines of the proverbial alternative universe.
It was all laid out one week ago to journalists seated at a luncheon hosted by the Greater Owensboro Chamber of Commerce in, you know, Owensboro, Kentucky. McConnell laid out our plans with the precision of a neurosurgeon.
From The Owensboro Times:
“McConnell said he’s afraid if the Democratic Party controls the Senate they will try to get rid of the filibuster, which requires a higher vote of 60 percent than the typical 51 needed to pass legislation”.
Also known as “The nuclear option,” this deeply guarded secret would effectively transform McConnell’s Senate from its present dystopian nightmare into a working legislative body.
But to what end? Why would we Democrats want to upend this time-honored tradition of protecting our nation from such things as adopting harmful civil rights legislation that could change The Southern Lifestyle forever?
And by God, he had the answer to that, too.
If Democrats get rid of the filibuster, “they’ll admit the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico as two new states — that’s four Democratic senators in perpetuity — and then they’ll go after the Supreme Court. That’s how Democrats are these days…”.
Republicans may have released their “Project 2025” tome as a fanciful lark, but Democrats were holding their 2025 hand so close you couldn’t see light between their cards and their vests.
Now it’s out dammit.
Someone over on the D side has noticed that D.C. has a population of 689,545, and that Puerto Rico has 3,241,028, both of which eclipse Wyoming’s 581,381 and Vermont’s 647,464.
If WY and VT rate two US Senators each, Democrats reason, why not DC and PR? Full statehood for both seems to be a no-brainer.
But before you can go around making new states, you need to lower the filibuster hurdle in the Senate because DC and PR are areas known to have non-Republican majorities.
They’d elect liberal senators, as McConnell says, “in perpetuity.”
McConnell must be sweating bullets.
And then we’ll “go after the Supreme Court.” This means they realized that Democrats, with no filibuster and a Democratic majority, will pass laws that will force the Supreme Court Justices to behave in an ethical manner.
Or maybe even expand the number of Supreme Court Justices by the right amount so as to further our plans. Clever. I don’t think we even considered that. That could work, too.
What Democrats plan to do in the dark of night dwarfs what MAGA Republicans have in mind as revealed in their 922-page bound volume displayed in broad daylight.
It was all a secret. But no more. That Mitch McConnell is one smooth operator.
(Postscript. For those with truly inquiring minds, here are two links that reveal our long-concealed planned alternatives to reconfigure the American flag with 52 stars – I really like the modified Betsy Ross)
