Standing up to a tyrant - who is willing to impose pain as leverage to compel loyalty or acquiescence - is hard. You can convince yourself that yielding stops the pain and brings you back to "normal".
But there is no "normal". Submission emboldens the tyrant. The threat grows.

They said they caved because the shutdown was causing pain — but what about the pain for those of whose premiums are rising to 20% of our income? I am SO angry.

Great job, @schumer.senate.gov. You've changed the story from "GOP hurting millions of Americans to please unpopular, failing, delusional despot who's destroying his party" to "Dems are too weak and divided in the face of Trump's strength to take a stand and protect Americans"

Schiff: "The president -- 'I'm going out to play golf.' One thing that is so shocking to me is that they're appealing to the Supreme Court for the right to cut off food from people. Who does that? Who works so hard to cut food from people who need it right now? The cruelty is part of the policy."

Republicans and Trump think they can do anything and their voters will never leave them. MAGA's stupidity and racism might prove them right, but that wishy washy 10% of voters that aren't true believers can switch, which is all we need to win. Party on fools:

Good morning and happy Saturday to everyone. Let me see if I have this right. A court ordered Fat Satan to fund SNAP benefits so hungry Americans could eat. He whined like a little bitch to the Supreme Court and they said he didn’t have to do it. This is pure evil.

Beshear: Let me be clear. The president has both the funding and the authority to fund snap during a shutdown. In fact, every other president in every other shutdown has done so. People going hungry in this instance is a choice that this president has made.

You may not agree, but I think it’s time for Dems from coast to coast to run on Medicare for all.
We do NOT need health insurance companies at all.
Period.
They serve no valuable societal purpose other than to add cost to healthcare and drive people crazy.
