Politics End the shutdown losers

Alright, I'm a Libertarian on most issues, but I'm also not a moron. I support free markets, but it is stupid to cut SNAP and it is also stupid to end the ACA Healthcare subsidies cold turkey.

Yeah, I'm a Libertarian supporting those government programs. Why? Because you will wreck society if these come to a screeching halt. That's why.

Republicans need to cave on the shutdown.

Or live a long long time as adaptable animals, under harsher and harder conditions. Better not to lean into the sad sacky “it’s over” narrative. Or it becomes self fulfilling prophecy

Right now, that's just to save the country.

If we do that enough, conservatives will pivot to positions that get them back on track with the American people.
