    I’m glad someone is saying this.

    While I understand people don’t want to give Trump any wins, choosing the shut the government down is the wrong hill to die on. Given the chaos that DOGE has caused, and the executive branch throwing around their power completely unchecked, shutting down the government would plunge america into chaos.

    I wouldn’t be surprised at all if Trump had a plan to frame the government shutdown as “government inefficiency” and use it to grab much more executive power.

      Let the Republicans take the blame for bring it all down.

      Oh wait, you’re right. The Democrats would never blame them either.
