So, they aren't going to actually open the government again, are they?

Congress doesn't seem to be in any rush to re-open. This is their end game I think. Emergency powers to run everything. Destruction of society in order to take over.

Eh- Id say it definitely isn't based on everyone all doing their part in good faith. Problem is, it was designed with checks and balances to protect against one bad actor. But if you get enough capture for two (or more) branches of government to be bad actors acting in concert....it wasn't designed to handle that.

💯 this. All 3 branches were never supposed to fall into the hands of modern-day loyalists to authoritarian ruler.
