The BIG LIE that Trump really won the election is now canon among a majority of Republican voters.

End the filibuster
If Republican attempts at voter suppression and gerrymandering are not enough to spur Senators #Sinema and #Manchin to take appropriate action, then perhaps the threat of ending democracy itself might.
