I mean MAGAts will just blame Dems for keeping the government closed instead of just agreeing with what conservatives want. Yes what they want is absolutely awful, but it's not hard to see how they'd easily spin this into not being Trump's fault.
True, I live and work in a very rural and conservative town and all I hear is that the shutdown is the dems fault for wanting to give illegal immigrants healthcare and wanting trans athletes to play in the Olympics. They just eat up and regurgitate whatever Fox News says and what they read on Facebook.
While I don't live in a rural area (I work in one, but don't talk to much of anyone there), when I did work a more public facing job at a grocery store in deep red Missouri, the people blamed Democrats/"communists" for everything. I still remember when my store was shutting down and the aisles were mostly empty, a regular said "this is what that Mamdani guy in New York wants! This is what a communist gorcery store looks like and he wants that for everyone!!!".
I hear and see the same bs too. When this shutdown hopefully ends, and if we are able to survive to the end of this presidency, the amount of stupidity, ignorance and hatefulness will remain. Idk if there is a solution to that, my niece is 16 in high school and she tells me that most of the students are exactly the same as boomers with there racism and hatefulness.
The shorthand way of saying that is “extortion” if that helps.
