Government shutdown: Senate funding measures fail again as deadlock continues

[BumRushDaShow]

11. "they don't actually care about them. They care about tax cuts and privatizing profits/socializing costs"

The "corporate" concerneds are always there. But the MAGat "base" has been expanded to include the very scum of the earth bigots - racists (including white supremacists), sexists, homophobes, antisemites, transphobes, and xenophobes.

This has gone beyond their usual "culture war rhetoric". They have actually appointed "officials" in the federal government who have been given the power to literally ENACT policies that -

-banned books
-removed women out of higher offices in the military and on federal Commissions/Boards
-fired employees "not like them" who attempt to follow the law
-purged museums, memorials, and exhibits of non-white historical artifacts and narratives
-pulled funding from programs designed to protect the marginalized and expand opportunities for the oppressed
-censored language that does not promote their bigotry

If one is a white, straight, Christian male, then the above is of no concern because it doesn't impact that group and these acts can be easily be waved away, where the affected groups are summarily declared as being "hysterical".
