      There’s no one else to blame.

      Republicans control all branches of government, and refused to negotiate. Even worse, they’re spreading lies about the proposals that did exist, and breaking the law by using government resources to push their own partisan arguments.

    2. Imagine the majority of people having common sense and not buying blatant propaganda. Coulda used this in 2016 and 2024 for sure..

      Although it is true, polls are not anyway to inform the public. We need articles about why the republicans are shutting down the government.

    4. RAMacDonald901 on

      Of course, he is the president, and they have the majority in all houses, who else would you blame??

    5. Old_Cryptid on

      A shutdown falls on the President’s lack of leadership. He can’t even control his own party and get people together in a room. A shutdown means the president is weak.

      Americans have always blamed Republicans for shutdowns because they’ve always disagreed with what Republicans are demanding. Democrats are demanding an extension of the Affordable Care Act, while Trump is giddy at the prospect of a shutdown. He’s also made it clear that inflicting pain on the American people is the goal of the shutdown (much as it in every other issue). If you’re working with the facts, it’s not hard to see where the blame should be placed.

      Of course. They didn’t even attempt to negotiate knowing full well they’d need 60 votes in the Senate. They didn’t even try to keep the government open. On the contrary, it’s like they wanted it to shut down. Almost like that was the plan all along.

      Well, they do have the White House, the Senate, and Congress. Hard stop.

      If you know the truth, you know who’s fault it is. If you swallow the cope pills, you blame the dems.

      lol, “more” in this context is 47%. We’re fucked as a society.

      Cant‘ believe someone was arguing with me (in bad faith likely) the other day that Americans would pin this on Dems, and that they should cave in to Republicans to keep the economy running.

      Dems need to keep driving this narrative unrelentlessly. Be ruthless. Let Americans know the pain they are feeling in terms of closed nationial parks, furloughs for their friends and family, closure of other key federal services, etc are all the result of Republicans trying to end tax credits on healthcare. Keep explaining in real terms (simple terms the average MAGA voter can understand) how those tax credits will hurt their pocketbook. Show that Dems are fighting to keep those costs lower for ALL Americans.

    12. They are the majority in **every** branch. President, House, Senate, Supreme Court. All Republican majority.

      Of course this is their fault.

      More Americans are either Democrats or moderate to left leaning independents than are Republicans… So… Yeah.

      The only reason they keep winning is that a third of the country is too apathetic to do anything, and another third are too busy fighting each other over the best ways to counter his bullshit.. Meanwhile the last 3rd is fully united behind their cult leader.

    14. >In the poll from The Washington Post, 47 percent of respondents said “Trump and Republicans in Congress” are “mainly responsible for the federal government partially shutting down,” while 30 percent pinned the blame on “Democrats in Congress” for the shutdown.

      That 30% that blame Democrats tracks nicely with the MAGA percentage of the population roughly.

    15. Do they though? I hate Trump and everything but the thing about surveys is „Where did you take it?“

      I can go to my local walmart here in Arkansas and shout „Who do you think shut the government down“ and most people will probably say „The democrats“.

      Until he and him are getting tans in hell it doesn’t matter what some survey says because there’s still millions of people and enablers that are on board with him.

    16. Steel-Tempered on

      Yea, but if the election were held today, they’d still vote for Trump and the GoP. So what has anyone actually learned?

    17. cowboyjosh2010 on

      I am genuinely hesitant to *just* blame the majority party, even in this trifecta of control the Republicans have, because my memory banks are telling me that I formerly blamed Republicans *in the minority* as the problem in past threatened or actualized shut downs since they wouldn’t talk to the majority with reasonable compromises. If I blamed the minority party then, I should be hesitant to blame the majority party now.

      But it’s not a 1:1 comparison, is it?

      Democrats, generally speaking but *especially* when in the majority, want to keep the government funded and open. And that’s true now: they honestly do what to be able to open things up. But the Republican Party, particularly now in their present majority, seems to salivate at shutting down the government. How else do you explain them failing to turn up to negotiation sessions attended almost solely by Democrats these past days / weeks?

      The Democrats may be standing by their line in the sand and not budging on it (marketed ostensibly as not gutting healthcare subsidies), but the Republicans have repeatedly not even shown up to negotiate. So yeah: the majority is to be blamed here.

    18. Fuzzy_Translator4639 on

      There was no survey needed. The GOP are working everyday to destroy America. This is just another nail

    19. Yeah, Americans sometimes will blame the perpetrator, when it’s entirely the perpetrator’s fault.

    20. Annual_Exchange7790 on

      „If there is a shutdown, I think it would be a tremendously negative mark on the president of the United States.“

      —Trump, 2011

      Let us not forget.

      Also, where are the Epstein files?

    21. MyKingdomForADram on

      The fact that more than 0% of Americans think that it’s the Democrats fault is a true indictment.

    22. Apprehensive_Rub3897 on

      Now if they would believe the truth, that’s it’s already illegal for non use citizens to get healthcare, which is dumb and if they get hurt while working in construction or on a farm for some MAGAT they’ll end up in the ER at best. They should have freaking access to healthcare, it’d save us all money and it’s the right thing to do.

      Also, they don’t come here so they can vote in elections, and aren’t the reason why Trump lost in 2020, they come here for work, hard work that American clearly do not do at any scale.

      Soooo, tired of mouth breather talking points (aka lies).
