Yeah. You just need to make sure that the Representatives are stuck in Washington when it happens.
All goverment shutdowns under Democratic control happened for 1 day. The Republicans caused Government shutdowns in 1995/1996 for 21 days in an attempt to cut medicare and social security, 2013 for 16 days in order to attempt to cut Obamacare and 2018/2019 for 35 days in order to build a border wall. I don't even know what the Republicans want now. They are too busy fighting for themselves. But this will backfire on them.
You say that but they'll just blame Democrats for it anyways and their idiotic voters will believe every fuckin word like the simpletons they are.
That didn't work for 2020.
If it shuts down fire them all and do a new election, with everyone that was there blacklisted.
government shutdown appears inevitable
---the people who could evit it
So the last one got resolved when protestors shut down LaGuardia and Trump blinked. What ends it this time? How bad do things need to get before the MAGAts balk?
It's just our legislators helping to kick off Striketober! But seriously this is a terrible pain in the ass for anyone who actually depends on government services (which on some level is pretty much all of us).
