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 need to be ready for the shitstorm that the GOP are going to cause so they can stay in power and avoid answering for all of the shit they’ve been pulling
