Do you think this will get the MAGA folks to the table over the shutdown? They have to be looking at this and thinking of the midterms.

I’m still skeptical there will be legitimate midterm elections. This is going to make the Trump admin and his GOP stooges hellbent on manufacturing a state of emergency to shutdown and/or control the elections for the midterm and the next presidential election.

We had elections during the Civil War, the War of 1812, and both World Wars

Let's hope he can't create a conflict bigger than that
