I hear you. I just don’t have any faith in the Democrats.
The Democrats are complicit in this. They’re not merely incompetent or ineffectual. The party serves the same class of donors that the Republicans do, but they are less loud about it. It’s not an accident that they abandoned the working class decades ago. It’s not a coincidence that they’ve lost well over a thousand elected positions across all levels of government. They don’t serve the people, and the people likewise don’t vote for them reliably because of this which keeps the Republicans in power.
Shutting down the government gives Trump fewer good people to stand in his way. Most people in our government are public servants and not politicians, but without their consciences in the way, nobody stops or resists the takeover.
Neither are good options. I don’t know what’s actually better.
