Perhaps you didn’t notice, but the federal government is “shut down” because they ran out of money. It’s all Kabuki theater, of course. Two weeks ago, the House of Representatives passed a continuing resolution (CR) to keep the government going, but it got filibustered by Senate Democrats. Why? Well, six months ago, in a similar situation, Schumer threatened a shutdown before backing down — and then got roasted by his party’s left-wing grassroots nutjobs, who want to FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT! against TRUMP! TRUMP! TRUMP! Scorched by this blowback, Schumer decided this time he’d actually go over the cliff to appease the lunatic fringe Democrats, and so after the House passed its CR, Schumer and the Senate Democrats issued a laundry list of “demands.”
Well, guess what? Elections have consequences, and Republicans are in no mood to kowtow to Schumer’s lunatic fringe party. So the response to Chuck and his demands was, “OK, you really want to shut down the government? Do it. Double-dog dare ya, you little sissypants.”
Maybe they didn’t say that in so many words, but considering the nature of the Democrat demands — including funding free healhcare for illegal aliens — Republicans calculated that Schumer’s temper tantrum would hurt Democrats far worse than it might hurt Republicans. Despite polls showing the shutdown was a loser, Chuck did it anyways, so . . .

An AI video with a sombrero and cheesy Mexican music is not exactly my idea of statesmanship, but in its memetic function — making the point about taxpayer-funded healthcare for illegals as the basic Democratic demand, while also inviting mockery — this is excellent online messaging. It also projects the confidence at the White House, knowing that most voters are against the shutdown. In fact, 43% of Democrats don’t want it, so Schumer is losing, and Trump is winning.

Despite any apocalyptic rhetoric you might hear about the shutdown, it’s not like Democrats actually believe it:
We don’t know how long the Schumer Shutdown will last, but we do know that every day — heck, every hour — that it does, the Democrats will be screeching in front of every microphone they can find that it is the apocalypse for the American people.
But, as we all know by now, it is far more important to watch what Democrats do rather than listen to what they say.
And last night, we found out what Democrat leadership is planning for early October. (Hint: it does not involve negotiating with Republicans or fighting to serve the American people.)
SHOCKING: Democrats quietly plan a “Napa Retreat,” two-day getaway (Oct. 13-14) at the five-star Hotel Yountville, with an evening wine tour and dinner at Staglin Family Vineyards’ wine caves, as the government braces for a shutdown tonight, per Politico.

(Hat-tip: Ed Driscoll at Instapundit.) Democrats are completely cynical, using scare-mongering rhetoric to gin up hysteria among their dimwit voters, who aren’t smart enough to understand that they’ve being hoodwinked and bamboozled. It’s truly pathetic.
