I'm ignorant about most everything, so tell me why we shouldn't just let Trump's government shut down.

[Rustynaerduwell]

Let the deadline pass. Most every die hard MAGAT wants every Democrat and every liberal they can identify in jail. That's not an exaggeration. And it seems, so does Trump.

We are losing everything that was American Democracy. The government is all his now. Hand it to him on its deathbed. Kill it dead so he can't bring it back to life.

I know the idea is ridiculous, but someone's gotta tell me why.

1. If the GOP majority can't keep it open

Let them take the consequences.

[imanamerican63]

2. If the government shuts down? They'll be blaming the Democrats!

It is their playbook! “Not our fault, because they hate us”!

[progressoid]

3. And the vast right wing media will help spread it.

[Rustynaerduwell]

5. I don't think that would work this time.

8. You're right..

They blamed Dems for Charlie Kirk’s murder..that arguments gone stale….

Our guys are not going to rescue Mike Johnson.. and they’re going to point a finger at the degenerate standing behind him.. Trump…his tariffs have decimated his base..farmers/middle America..a government shut down is on Trump and even his most loyal know it bc MAGA Mike takes his instruction from Trump

6. They

blame the left for everything either way, so what’s the difference? We have absolutely NO leadership anymore & quite frankly, there mostly likely won’t be any more national elections, our country is fully controlled by trump and a handful of billionaires & s Shumer & Jeffries did nothing to stop it.

9. they do that anyway and always so fuck 'em

[republianmushroom]

11. So what's new.

They blame the democrats for any and everything, good or bad. Given time the democrats will be blamed for the passing of that BBB by republicans.

[Blue Full Moon]

12. No participation from democrats. Let them eat it.

Don't save them from themselves. Sorry but the people who keep voting for this need to experience what they thought they wanted. They aren't going to change otherwise.

4. Release the unredacted Epstein files in exchange for a funding agreement

Hardball. The Country wants them out. We’ll do fine if we get our messaging right.

7. There are certain economic events that leave lasting impressions? nt
