I'm not sure it would. In the past, federal workers were always paid after the government opened up. If they aren't paid this time when the GOP holds both the Executive and the Legislative branches, it would be silly to claim the Democrats would have the power to withhold payment.
This has occured at least 47 times I believe since Reagan started shutting down the government. If they got paid for all 46 other times, and not this one.... It really should be pointing to this administration
Republicans have been blamed for every shutdown in recent memory by the polled general public. This is a losing battle for them no matter what happens
Their propagandists still have to try.
In our filter bubbles maybe, but does broader public polling support that sentiment?
Yes, objectively. People overwhelmingly blame the GOP, by 17 points. Both the majority of Dems and independents blame Trump, with even 10% of Republicans blaming him.
Oh I definitely think they're getting the heat this time, I was more curious about the other shutdowns "in recent memory". Because talking to my conservative parents and others that doesn't seem as clear.
The last shutdown in recent memory was also Trump, in 2019. The majority of voters accurately blamed him for that one.
Its not even ambiguous. Your parents are likely just very I'll iformed if they think anyone but the GOP is percieved as responsible for these farces.
Apparently big change comes with the number 47...
Why would that stop them from saying so?
It doesn't stop them saying it. It stops it from being credible. Ever other GOP and Democratic President has always paid, even in trump's first term during that shutdown. Now suddenly they can't? If you mess with a worker's pay you have highly reactive results.
I’ve seen a lot of YouTube videos that have titles like “boss didn’t pay man for two weeks then THIS happened “
It’s normally a video of a dude fucking wrecking the place with a tank made out of a forklift or something.
Marvin Heemeyer?
Staplerfahrer Klaus?
These people don't care about credibility.
These people DO care about their paycheck, thats the difference here.
You're so close.
If you haven't noticed, Trump is baiting for riots.
Right but he'll get his riots regardless. You can say "don't fall for it" but riots like this are police creations.
It's not being silly, it's just lying. The Republicans do it all the time. Nothing special about this time.
They lie, we know they lie, they know we know. It's just arrogance and abuse of power.
