By the way, if you just need some anecdotal backing for what all the polling is saying,I've visited comment sections of TheHill and Yahoo on stories related to the shutdown. Both sites are news aggregators with comment sections typically conservative leaning which most know, and the majority of top comments are putting the blame on Mcconnell and Trump. Go look at them yourself to verify.

I'm sure all the internal polling Democrats are seeing is saying the same thing in addition to the public polling. Trump really has no leverage. He made the shutdown and wall being tied together on his own and ended up painting himself in a corner. If the government reopened as normal and he fought for the wall outside of that, he could have probably pushed the narrative in a way to gain more favor. But now, if he re-opens the government he takes a hit on "folding" on the wall when he didn't need to put himself in this bind. Him and his little devil on the shoulder Ann Coulter fancy themselves as more sophisticated political operators than they actually are and he fukked himself :mjlit:. It's glorious.

They probably counted on Democrats cowering in short order and backing down, which wouldn't have precedence but damn, the Democrats are making me proud with this. Thank god the Naps of the world aren't in charge of strategy. They would have folded already and gave him money.

To add, I just checked out Fox news for kicks, and there are a surprising amount of supportive comments for Nancy...well for Fox News anyways.

Union leaders being arrested for demanding to even speak to Mitch is fukking disgusting.

You aren't a fukking ruling class, you're an ELECTED politician who's accountable to the people. :francis: These are people who's lives you're fukking destroying and you don't even have the decency to talk to them. Just sick the police on them.

I mean what needs to happen is that these people need to stop showing up for work. It's fukking depressing that this is where we are and how trapped we are in modern society that these folks have literally worked for over a month without pay because they are afraid of being fired.

fukk em, he isn't Reagan he won't have people waiting in the wings to work a job that doesn't even pay you right now. Stop showing up, MAKE these people see you.
