What timeline is this?

I don’t know if I’m losing it or if I slipped through a portal to an alternate timeline or what…but the Republicans have traditionally defended the filibuster, no?

I would have sworn that, out of the two parties, if one wanted to terminate the filibuster, it would be the Democrats; as they have advocated for the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico’s statehood, but the filibuster has been a major obstacle getting in their way of achieving it.
