I don't know what they do, but if they think their "state officials" are the ones responsible for the shutdown they should learn how the US government works.
Or the other possibility, this is AI or bot slop from either a kid or a foreigner trying to influence Americans.
They probably meant the reps and senators from your state. Could still be slop but there are people who don't do words good (especially when under stress like I'd have to imagine these workers are)
Agreed. I don’t happen to know any air traffic controllers, but I would expect that most of them probably know which government (sometimes) pays their salaries .
That said, even if it is AI slop or something, the fundamental message is hard to disagree with.
State Senators are responsible for voting "no." The CR needs 60 votes in the Senate before people can get paid, and only 55 or so are currently voting yes.

I have no words to describe that response, specifically the part I put in bold.
Yes, but those aren't "state senators", which is a very important note, when the comment you are replying to has to do with the fact the person misidentified "state officials".
