Wait — a Majority of Americans Want the Government Shutdown to CONTINUE?!

In American political theater, every dance follows a specific conceit. It’s how our career politicians know when to lead and when to follow. For the government shutdown dance, the conceit hasn’t changed since the first one in 1981: Closing vital government services — and interrupting the delivery of federal paychecks — will infuriate the American people, and whoever they blame will suffer their wrath on Election Day.
So, for God’s sake, don’t get caught in the crossfire!
That’s why the D.C. finger-pointing, grandstanding, and name-calling had already reached a fever pitch: Losing the blame-game could cost ‘em their political future.
Priority #1 was making sure the American people believed that this was the OTHER party's fault!
But what if that entire conceit — the central premise of the dance — was all wrong? What if the American people want the shutdown to… go on and on (and on)?
Well. Here we are:
51% Want Government Shutdown to Continue
A narrow majority of voters – including two-thirds of Democrats – are in favor of having the current government shutdown continue. Full story is in the comments...

I'm thinking I like the shutdown too. Especially if Trump can use it to further the DOGE agenda.
Zim.
