Yep, nothing new about this. The right has been controlling the world for at least the past 40 years, and yet they blame everything on the left.

Democrats better hold the line on this front. Let the GOP own the shutdown for the cuts they want.
Memes and reactionary comments aside, can anyone explain how the shutdown came to be given that all levels of government are currently controlled by a single party? I can't find a reliable explainer
As I understand it: To avoid the shutdown, Republicans needed 60 votes. They have 53 senators. Only one Democrat voted with the Republicans. The Democrats had some healthcare related demands that weren't met, so the shutdown went ahead.
Ok, so in reality then, the meme doesn't quite fit. Like I'll bash a dictator at any chance, but this argument doesn't hold in a discussion.
Republicans set this bill up to fail. Either they think they can outrun it using the media or think democrats will cave.
They think Democrats will cave, like they did in March or April.
I hope they won't, for all intents and purposes government was effectively shut down for few months now.
