The filibuster is not a feature inherent to the Senate and could be removed at any time with a simple majority, just like it has been done for the filibuster for several types of nominations, and was threatened during this past shutdown.
I also assume you meant tiny majority, as the minority cannot force legislation through regardless of whether the filibuster exists or not.
