Sorry, but no. Aspects of the Senate where the filibuster was ended have absolutely not helped reign in fascism. It has produced the supreme courts current makeup. Handing the majority party unfettered power is a dumb idea, regardless of which it is, and its why Republicans are afraid to do it.

The filibuster seperates the house and the Senate, otherwise you just have two houses.
