I dunno, I'm torn. On the one hand, fair, trump's basically been doing whatever he wanted. But on the other hand, is that really accurate? How much power does a shutdown grant him to seriously cut back on things before the midterm results can hopefully constrain him?
And then the really icky politics, will this hurt dem voters enough to sit out midterms? If you lose your job because the democrats fought on this, sure you might have healthcare but people are really bad at keeping those hypothetical comparisons in mind at the ballot box (witness the rage at Biden for the inflation that ravaged the entire globe.)
But then to veer back to Jon's side, what's the alternative? Just give donald everything?
