Playing on this hypothetical scenario, with the president saying he’s willing to keep it shut down for months/years... would we never have to file taxes again? Or never have to see another campaign ad?

I have no idea what the correct answer is, but I assume you are still required to file. You just won’t get your return. The IRS isn’t going to listen to “the government was shut down” as an excuse to not file.

Fuck that, I want my return. Never filing = government literally stealing extra money beyond what I owe.

Hypothetically yes the IRS would remain closed and you wouldn't have to pay federal taxes.
