Further insulating Americans from the effects of their inaction is not by any means a “win.”
This only strengthens the GOP’s position by reinforcing the idea that government shutdowns don’t matter to everyday citizens- while at the same time ensuring Americans remain comfortable enough that they continue not to fight back.
The government’s shut down. Great. Everyone still gets their benefits, the military keeps getting paid, ICE keeps being funded. To the Americans perpetuating this MAGA garbage, that sounds fine- and now you’ve ensured that the one thing that might wake them up isn’t going to happen.
The government is kind of fake though, and the shutdown was kind of theatrical nonsense.
It is in fact pretend-play, we’re just taking people to concentration camps about it.
