I keep seeing the idea of the Democrats forcing a government shutdown over the debt ceiling as one of the few ways to fight what is going on.
It just keeps going through my mind that Trump/Musk aren’t following any rules or laws as it is, they’re breaking every valid security rule there is as it is.
So, what would a shutdown do other than give them carte blanche to fuck shit up while all the federal workers have to go home without pay?
Musk has the wealth to just keep paying the people he wants to keep fucking shit up out of his own pockets. If all the federal workers are sent home, who is even going to do the dance of trying to stand in their way?
Isn’t that more dangerous?
I feel like maybe there’s more that I’m not understanding about the situation, but at the same time it feels like all bets are off and Musk is going to do whatever the fuck he wants no matter what is happening.
Fun fact. The government employees still get paid while on a shutdown.
This is the first I’m hearing of this as well but who knows. Maybe it is a good idea. But the maga Nazis are actually 100% in love with musk as well and blindly follow him now. It’s actually disturbing how they think Elon is “fighting against fraud”. So if Dems do force a shut down, idk republicans are so well brainwashed they would believe something along the lines of “we need to take over the white house and remove all Dems because they’re terrorists and are stopping the country from working and staying open” and trump will say “radical left” and then Nazi riots would happen all over the place. And democratic officials might actually start begin to be slaughtered.
This is, though, a hypothetical absolute worst outcome. Realistically, people will cry on social media about democrats while other will cry on social media about republicans. But I think Dems should do this plan.
In States with Democratic governors and Blue states with RINO governors, those riots will get suppressed with the state National Guard
Nah, they got their own bodyguards, that and their state law enforcement and National Guard, they’re safe. Jan 6 only went that far because the person with authority over the DC national guars was himself the orchestrator of the plot. And neighboring state National Guard cannot (legally) cross states lines without permission.
“Legally” doesn’t matter anymore for anyone rich and red.
Also, they don’t get paid while its shutdown, only after the shutdown they get the backpay, And before 2019, they didn’t even get the packpay.
