The US government shut down on Wednesday, after congressional Democrats refused to support a Republican plan to extend funding for federal departments unless they won a series of concessions centered on healthcare.
The GOP, which controls the Senate and the House of Representatives, repudiated their demands, setting off a legislative scramble that lasted into the hours before funding lapsed at midnight, when the Senate failed to advance both parties’ bills to keep funding going.
"Republicans are plunging America into a shutdown, rejecting bipartisan talks, pushing a partisan bill and risking America’s healthcare,” top Senate Democrat Chuck Schumer said on Tuesday evening, as it became clear a shutdown was inevitable.

And this will work too. The average American is way too dumb to see this for what it is.
Conservatives are the radical left. It’s just words.
Assuming there is an “after”, there really needs to be a policy against politics on official government communications. There probably is. One more thing to hold them to account in 3.5 years
Assuming you have a true democratic election in '28 and not some Putinesque version.
Not that exactly. While yes, I also dread the possibility of the end of democracy …… elections are run by states (so far). Unless there is actual martial law, many states will continue to hold fair elections.
Interference will look different. As always red states will continue to disenfranchise voters, nationwide propaganda will increase. So will there be attacks on state certification, on who is allowed to be listed as a candidate, etc?
What do we do if this happens?
God who falls for this unprofessional shit
Looks around
Sighs
