Well…I think one of the things that people are missing with the misdirection that the government shutdown is all about the wall is that repubs hate the federal government and workers in general…and this is their way of permanently getting rid of these workers to help pay for the tax cuts they lavished on the rich and business. They don’t care if the government works and they don’t care if they hurt the people who make it work…and their base is all on board with it since they are hurting the people they hate…and believe trump’s lies that all of the people who work for the government are dems so making them work or go without pay is perfectly fine and what they deserve. I wonder if this country can survive until 2020 when we can rid ourselves of these assholes? If they think that shutting down the government is just fine and there will be no economic fallout from it, they are just the dumbest people on the face of the Earth…but the political fallout will be much, much worse for the repubs when every ad in the 2020 campaign will hang this shutdown around their necks…and maybe, just maybe, this will be the thing that cuts through the right wing bubble and starts people moving back into the reality based world….for their sake, I hope it is…impeach….
