Fun fact: something like this actually happened in the roman republic. When ceaser was proposing his land reform bill, cato (a popular conservative) tried to stop the vote by talking until the senate would have to adjourn.
so.... the old filibuster
Wow and this shit still happens oh those silly governments.

This is literally the filibuster
At least it was until they made the filibuster only take saying "I filibuster" and then nobody can do anything for until you say "I stop filibustering."
Honestly, silly as it was, the old style of filibuster at least protected minority interests by forcing them to determine how much physical strain it was worth to try and stop it. The new style just means nothing gets done.

Little did we know that eight years later this would seem like a whimsical reprieve from the horrors of our reality
Yeh, Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer amirite?
Nah, back then the Republicans were still blocking Democratic legislation as much as possible. That's why they made this satire in the first place. The way they act right now is basically the way they did under Obama, with the difference being they have a President that's willing to do anything who is also very popular with conservatives.
The horrors of reality were always there, media just did a good job of covering it all up back then
@@yonatielu3881 what about that Republican that kept tapping loudly on his desk to interrupt a Democrat speaker? Go to you proud boys meetings now
