The Left/Dem: GOP shutdown gov't and it's hurting American... They are so heartless and don't care about American.
Also the Left/Dem: Democrat traitors are siding with the GOP to open the gov't... Now, we have no more leverage against Trump
"It was working..." - The Atlantic

Yeah, it was working alright - giving more power to Trump and the GOP to do whatever they want.
Sen. King... "In terms of standing up to Donald Trump, the shutdown actually gave him more power... (drum roll please)Well Joe, you have to go back to what the strategy was at the beginning of the shutdown. There were two goals, both of which I support.
One was standing up to Donald Trump; the other was getting some resolution on the ACA premium tax credit issue. The problem was, the shutdown wasn’t accomplishing either goal." It was never about tax credit or subsidies for the ACA, it was all about providing healthcare to illegals. Just read the article itself... CNN
John Fetterman says it best:
"I've drunk deeply of the venom of both the Left and the Right. And as a connoisseur, I can confirm that the most poisonous, the bitterest, is from the far Left." I see his point exactly... e.g. Trump was loved by the celebs, Left/Dem, legacy media... but quickly became a racist, misogynist, xenophobe, etc etc when he changed his Donkey for an Elephant and ran as a GOP. He was none of those prior to joining the GOP. There are thousands of TikTok, YT, FB vids of Ex-Lefties/Demmies being hated on by the same people that were their closest of friends, families, relatives, spouses.
