What happened: the Democrats lied and told everyone they were fighting for health care and this is why they were withholding trillions of dollars in funding.
The real reason they did this is because people were screaming at them to fight fascism but they wanted to do something less than that.

I don't think it's fair to say they are giving up "for peanuts."
They are giving up, and the Republicans get to keep the peanuts.

“Let them eat the rules of civil procedure.” That’s this court’s legacy.
We lawyers intellectualizing the lives of real people is a huge reason we're here and I'm sick of it. There's no good reason to take people's food away, actually.

Yes, selfish powerful monsters are America, but so are underpaid/overworked teachers using their precious free time and energy to find ways to make sure their students can eat. They are America too. Which America will we feed?
my high school teacher mom is individually raising money to help cover the expense for the kids who are losing SNAP coverage at her school and members of Congress make roughly 2-4 times the income of the average high school teacher in America

People get desperate
Then
Crime goes up
Then
Trump will justify a militarized response
Private prisons will start filling up
Trumps cronies who own those prisons become wealthier
