Not to mention, they've consistently threatened us with shutdowns up until now, so the democrats threatening one won't work. Heck, they would revel in democrats using something from their playbook.
That's a non-sequitor. Threatening a government shutdown only works when the other guys are in charge. Right now the GOP is in charge, so they have to worry about government shutdowns.
If democrats do it, republicans will just turn it around and say, "look they do it too!"
Plus, a shut down is exactly what Trump wants, so he can declare military action or something equally aggressively stupid and try repeatedly claiming the stock markets crash was somehow the democrats fault and made him do it.
Okay, and? Anyone who's gonna fall for this was a lost cause anyway.
Okay, and? Trump will do whatever the fuck he wants and make up excuses later. Simply put: Republicans already decided who they like and who they hate; the reasons are secondary and can be made up as needed.
Of course it would work. Come on, now.
