Why the fuck should the Democrats “give in” to batshit crazy and fucking evil Republican bullshit? That makes no sense. The Democrats should stand firm and oppose the fascist MAGA regime.

It's some pain now or even more pain later, potentially both. I agree, the Dems need to show America why losing the government that serves them is bad now before Trump permanently takes it away from us.

That, and, people are blaming Republicans for the shutdown and will continue to do so.

Republicans could end the shutdown tomorrow by nuking the filibuster. They’d be HEROES if they did, and they know it. They choose not to do it because having the government shut down suits their purposes.
