Maybe it’s my imagination, but don’t they control the presidency and both houses of congress?

Trump will just add them to the terror watch list. Along with people who are not Christian, are not part of a traditional marriage, or criticize capitalism.

Too bad most Republican voters are idiots who won’t remember this when they vote Republican again in the next election… 😔

More ? Who wouldn’t blame Republicans is the bigger question.

The president always gets blamed when there’s a shutdown. That’s why Republicans love to do it during Dem presidents, and it’s why they’re projecting so hard that it’s anyone else’s fault.
Shut it down. Shut it all down. It sucks and it will hurt people but *far more people will be hurt for far longer* under the current budget.
Republicans are anti-American, anti-democracy, and anti-life. Let them own being the sand in the gears like they’ve bragged about for decades.

But how many of those consider it a bad thing?

Trump litterally wants a shutdown. His response to government shutdown was basically “oh no, I’m shaking in my boots”

At some point Democrats are going to figure out something that many toddlers do: if you are going to constantly be blamed for something – e.g. stealing cookies – then you might as well go ahead and steal the fucking cookies.
Democrats know full well that Republicans will be responsible for the shut down, and Republicans are going to blame Democrats no matter what.

They’re the only ones responsible so that is how it should be.

Rational people should know the GOP controls congress and at fault if a shutdown does happens.

Who did they poll? Just trump? Can’t read the article without a login and never heard of this site. Seems like bullshit to me.

Really is something when the average person doesn’t even know Republicans have majorities in both the House and Senate and wouldn’t need a single Democratic vote to pass a budget bill.
Also really tells you something when the Republican party is so inept they can’t even pass their own legislation when they control the entire government.
Where’s that replacement for Obamacare again? Still waiting.

Are pigs flying now? The base will blame Dems- because that’s what is expected and what they have been “directed” to do.

I mean…republicans literally have the votes to pass a budget bill without Democrats.

When you have control over all 3 branches of government it’s no one else’s fault but the GOP.

Republicans have majority control all branches of government at the moment. They are responsible for all of their own failures in this regime.

My perception is the GOP is accountable versus blamed.
DOGE, mass firings, endless chaos all resulted in the mismanagement of government resources (people time and overall budget).

You’d have to be blind, purposely obtuse, and operating on bad faith if you can’t see one side attempting to reach across the aisle while the other says our way or we fire federal workers performing essential/critical jobs, deny healthcare to even more people, and blow up the deficit even more.
Good thing there aren’t any people in the blind, obtuse, intransigent camp.
