The music will never die;
But someday the Orange Turd will.
And this insult will be erased.
That’ll be the day…..
But someday the Orange Turd will.
And this insult will be erased.
That’ll be the day…..

Do these ‘hateful eight’ of Dems not understand what game the GOP is playing? It’s a cage fight with no rules! If you’re not up to this fight, find a new career!
The harm caused by the shutdown was real, affecting millions, and no one should downplay that. But America is not in a situation of harm or no harm. Rapidly backsliding into authoritarianism, America is in a terrible situation where appeasement trades short-term relief for more long-term harm.
Democrats Have to Get Out of a Normal Democracy Mindset
By folding in the government shutdown in exchange for virtually nothing, eight Democratic senators aid Trump's authoritarian takeover rather than oppose it

Ken Burns on Rogan's podcast to promote "The American Revolution"; they reportedly "talked about the need for heroes." Which put me in mind of Brecht’s comment: “Unhappy is the land that needs a hero.”
Also Anaïs Nin: "Those who see giants are still looking at the world through the eyes of a child."

Here in RI (and elsewhere) it's already called "Buy Nothing Day." The big event locally is a large coat exchange where anyone who needs a winter coat/hat/gloves/scarf can come and pick up a donated one.
