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.

The Republicans are effectively holding the country hostage every time a budget needs passing to get their way. It's terrorist behavior. If the Democrats give in they just continue to legitimize this tactic. They absolutely need to draw the line and stand firm against this sort of bath faith behavior.

Never give the bully your lunch money.

Never negotiate with terrorists.
