Democrats’ defiant approach to the current government shutdown reflects a party mood that has shifted dramatically as a growing number of Democrats inside and outside Washington are embracing all-out confrontation with President Donald Trump. (The Washington Post)
It is about time. Sad that it has to be a shutdown of the government, but right now, we at least have a government intact to shut down. I believe that Trump’s true intentions and those of his puppet masters, the Heritage Foundation, are to create a National Christian Religious State, replacing our Constitution with some Christian Nationalist Bible.
“I’m not naming anyone in particular, but some were slow to recognize that Trump posed a direct threat to our Constitution and our democracy,” said Sen. Chris Van Hollen (D-Maryland). “He was moving at warp speed and some were in low gear. But I think that has changed.” He added, “There is a growing understanding that you should never try to appease a bully.” (The Washington Post)
I believe the Democrats were trying to find a compromise. They are the minority party in Washington, and I understand that it is an uphill battle for them, but to permit the “BULLY” to beat them up day after day was not a true answer, either.
Trump has publicly declared Democrats to be domestic terrorists. That is not how Democracy functions, and Trump, I believe, has never once considered Democracy to be in his best interests. So fight on, fight back, do not give in, Democrats.
