This is not true. Most of the furloughed workers are outside of DC area. American farmers also care about the shutdown since it is hurting them.

Only 15% of federal workers are in the DC metro area (DC, MD, No. VA)

Yes, but it’s only 800K people out of 320 million. And it has gone on for almost a month. How long do you honestly expect people to care?

Nice try.
The effects are growing exponentially all across the country. And people blame Trump and his Repub minions.

Sorry, but no. Airport security lines are short, planes are flying normally, and the National Mall is trash free, contrary to what the Fake News media would have you believe. The President has the upper hand on this one and can easily keep the shutdown going without losing support. In fact, it’s what his base expects and demands. Stand strong, Mr. President!

He started with a 3 million vote deficit and in 2018 mid term PA,MI,WI,IA,AZ,GA,TX, NC etc has moved left. He has driven away women of all color, Hispanics, Asians, and of course blacks. This is not gonna end well for the conman in chief. He has lost support in every single state since he was selected by the Slavery era EC in 2016.

I mean he’s definitely lost some support around the margins, but we just had mid-term elections and those states aren’t moving Democratic enough to ensure he’s defeated in 2020. Best case scenario Dems win narrowly, same states as 2016 but adding 3 narrow victories in PA/WI/MI. I don’t think the other states are going to vote for a D for president any time soon although it’s definitely true that statewide, D’s are having more success in those states.

You are living in fools paradise. Keep living there. AZ elected it’s first dem senator in 3 decades. IA elected 3/4 dem reps and it used to be 1/4 before 2018. PA gave 3 more reps and dems won statewide elections by over 10% (PA used to be a 5% margin state for dems ). GA almost elected a dem gov despite voter suppression and dems added a house seat. TX Beto came within 3% in the mid term and 2020TX becomes purple state. NC is gonna give NC9 to dems after GOP was caught red handed in election fraud. WI and MI gave dems a bigger margin than even in 2008.

Overall dems won the house by 9%(the highest in recorded history) and got 40 seats , the highest since Nixon.

And all this in a mid term election when the gop is supposed to be voting and dems don’t vote as much. Imagine what will happen in presidential year when dems actually come out in droves to vote.

Trump has totally lost many of his voters because he hasn’t changed anything but pass another tax cuts for the wealthy. There are no more coal, steel jobs in thousands. Opioid addiction reaches its worst in 2018. And farms are suffering due to trade war and tariffs. He hasn’t made China bow to him and instead has crashed the stock market and Agri market.

Sssshhhhhh! Let them re-open the gov. Deal with stupid ideas for "emergency" later.

How many BP agents or Fed prison guards would be tempted to turn a blind eye in exchange for some under the table money? These people still have to pay rent/mortgages and put food on the table, love of a country doesn't provide for any of that.

That includes border patrol letting some folks slip on by . . . oh the irony.

The airports too. My friend came in last week on an international flight. There were people at immigration but not a soul at customs to check anyone’s bag.
