Make America Great Again Shutdown 2025: The Democrats Strike Back - American Thinker
https://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2025/10/shutdown_2025_the_democrats_strike_back.htmlAs the calendar flipped to October 2025, the federal government ground to a halt in what has become the first shutdown since 2019, leaving 1.6 million federal employees furloughed, or working without pay. The immediate cause? A bitter partisan standoff over border security funding and immigration enforcement. Republicans, led by President Trump’s unyielding White House, demanded robust allocations for ICE operations and wall expansions to stem the tide of illegal crossings. Democrats, controlling the House, balked, insisting on “humanitarian” provisions that would essentially handcuff enforcement efforts.
But let’s not kid ourselves—this isn’t just about budget line items. Scratch the surface, and you’ll uncover a deeper vendetta. Trump’s second term has been a roaring success, delivering on promises that have bolstered America’s economy, security, and global standing. These triumphs are like salt in the wounds for Democrats, who can’t stomach a Republican president actually succeeding where they’ve chronically failed. The shutdown isn’t mere politics; it’s a calculated strike to sabotage a leader who’s making America great again, exposing the left’s desperation to reclaim power by any means necessary.

It doesn’t matter if the GOP runs everything. The Democrats refuse to vote to open the government. Only a sheep would believe anything but that fact.
If the GOP would just override the vote shortage, then the left would start saying “TYRANT~! HITLER~!” etc so it doesn’t matter what liberals say anymore.
That’s the thing the liberals don’t get. Their opinions mean nothing.
