[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know this is a very DC insider focused thread but as someone who is not in DC, I can tell you most of us dont care at ALL if the government shuts down. I feel like the government shutting down has almost zero downside for the underdog party. The vast majority of Americans will not see immediate job risk issues or immediate ramifications. Sure, it's not great for the TSA but they're not going to find a new career in a week. The dems should shut it down for however long they want. MAGA is psychotic. This is probably the most beige pushback you could give in the circs so they should feel zero pressure to back down until they have to for whatever political reason comes up. [/quote]

This is one of the dumber posts I've ever read on DCUM.

Many Americans will feel the pain of the government shut down very soon.
This will come back to haunt the GOP. 
Yeah, trump may fire lots of government workers, but most will be rehired. 
Why is Trump so gung-ho to keep the government open? He knows it's going to kill the GOP if it goes on for a long time.
Finally, the Democrats are standing up and fighting, a bit.
We need a lot more of this. [/quote]

This doesn’t make sense because 80% of the federal workforce is outside the DC area. There has been a ton of documentation and articles on feds out of the DC area who voted for Trump and lost their jobs, etc.
