As I’ve noted many times before, the McConnell Project works just fine under our current system. For that reason, Mitch is not a counterrevolutionary. He need not, and does not, support Orbanization.
But would he stand in its way? No, for the same reasons he won’t object to eliminating the filibuster as soon as a national abortion ban becomes a realistic possibility; he prizes party unity over everything, because it is the key to remaining in power. Orbanization may not be necessary for his agenda, but it is not inconsistent with the agenda. And so, if and when the time comes, he will be on board.
In other words, if a newly elected President Trump decides to take actions that are clearly unconstitutional in order to stifle dissent in 2025, don’t expect any help from Mitch. He will just change the subject and talk about how awful the libs are.
