America Last, Every Single Time

Sometimes, lately, and even Bill Maher has said this, and he's no friend of the GOP, you have to wonder exactly what Democrats are thinking, or more importantly, wonder if they are thinking at all. Even John Fetterman, of all people on the Democrat side, has become a voice of reason.
Wonders never cease.
Schumer has been championing the government shutdown as some sort of Democrat victory. But of course, most of the American people know that what the Democrats wanted was for illegals to have access to free healthcare, and that's why the Republicans aren't budging here.
It's America last. The Democrats put Americans last when it came to the borders and they put America last in policy after policy. Energy. Inflation. You name it. Democrats put Americans at the back of the line.
You don't matter to them. That's really the best summation of who they are and what they stand for.
Now granted, really the shutdown doesn't necessarily have an impact on everyday lives of Americans. Some services may be unavailable, yes, and that's frustrating. But when it comes to the primary functions, those things still go on.
Medicare still goes on. Social Security payments are still made. The military still protects us. Essential orders of business continue on because they must. So really, a lot of the backroom goings on is more smoke and mirrors than anything, and since most people don't know how the government actually works, the facade of the severity of a shutdown and its impact on Americans is easily sold as something worse than it really is.
That's what the Democrats are banking on. The misinformed who will think the Democrats are working in their best interests while those nasty Republicans are fit to take things away.
It's all they can ever say. Yet the ones taking most of everything away are the Democrats.
I think the American people know who's behind this shutdown. It's the Democrats. And they know why, which is bad for Democrats. They're nailing their own coffins shut one policy disaster after another.
It cost them the House. It cost them the Senate. And it cost them the White House. It may cost them the midterms. And there's no chance they get the White House back in 2028.
They are out of touch. They've become radicalized. The fringe has taken over and become the mainstream voice of the party. Their approval ratings are in the tank. They are losing one voter bloc after another.
And yet they keep doing the same things, completely lacking understanding of why they are on their own side and not on the side of everyday, hardworking Americans.
Mike Johnson said it right, "America last every single time." That's the Democrat party. Screw America. We just want to turn the country into an unrecognizable place full of chaos and infighting. Only, no one wants that but them. And so...
They will lose again. Just like they lost in this last go around. And just like they are losing now. They have become their own shining Charlie Sheen, crumbling and crashing with crack hazed eyeballs glaring, while chanting, "Winning."
They aren't winning anything.

Well, just look at all the serious mistakes made in the last 100 years by democrat leaders.
I personally have no love for either party, it seems to me they're both much more interested in becoming the 'boss' rather than doing whats best for the average American and so far I have not seen a single average Joe win the bid, it's always those from rich prominent families that get the bid.

@rebelann I get what you are saying, and I agree both parties have issues. It goes with the territory when it comes to politics and power. I think what has been clear to me, through the years though, is that more often than not the ideas espoused by the Republican party have always favored more people than not.
I mean, Democrats like to cry racist to every Republican and conservative, yet they have the historical record on it with the formation of the KKK, Jim Crowe laws and voting against the Civil Rights movement, voting against black's right to vote, voting against desegregation and the list goes on.
I do think some people are missing something very important when it comes to Trump. It's HIS history that is being missed, right? He NEVER wanted to BE in politics. He said this over 30 years ago. He was even saying the exact same things 30 years ago that he is saying now. He said, "I would never consider running for president unless I felt my country needed me to." That should say more about his true character than what the media wants to portray of him.
He entered into politics and donated his entire salary. He left multi-billion dollar businesses to take a job that, by its nature, would destroy him personally and potentially bankrupt his business by extension. He gave up everything to lead. He speaks his mind. He doesn't politispeak.
I think we finally got our man, personally. And when I look at what he's doing policy wise now, and what he did in his first term...
It's exactly what we need. America first. No more games at the expense of the American worker and the American people. No more back room deals. Just America first FOR America and on behalf of the American people.

Basically, it is an attempt to save face for Schmer and the Dems who capitulated on the last CR. Obamacare is a disaster with costs rising. Dems wanting to extend the subsidies is an admission the government plan has failed. Why with the U.S. 37 trillion in debt should trillions more be spent to save Obamacare. Scrap it!
The Dems are using healthcare as "the issue" because the costs are worrisome for Americans who struggle to pay the premiums. As you stated, this is just another scam preying on emotions rather than common sense, and a way to allow illegal immigrants to receive free healthcare hoping citizens will not notice the deception.
60 votes are needed in the senate to pass the CR. Reps only have 53 votes. You do the math. Seems to me the Dems are the ones shutting down the government by withholding the necessary votes.

@porwest "Democrats create policy that creates disasters that they then use to blame Republicans for and then claim to have solutions to fix disasters they created that they also hope you forget they created."
*Exactly right! And the Dems way to fix it is to throw more money at the problem! Raise the National Debt even more, weaken the economy more, and hope no Americans notice their taxes have increased to pay for it.
I just hope the Republicans do not blink first on the budget.

This sort of goes back to something I say all the time, "Democrats create policy that creates disasters that they then use to blame Republicans for and then claim to have solutions to fix disasters they created that they also hope you forget they created."
A mouthful, I realize. But I think it pretty much sums things up. Obamacare, right? Yeah. They created it. Now healthcare is a BIGGER expense and a BIGGER problem, except it was THEIR idea and now that it doesn't work they can pretend they are working hard to fix it while claiming Republicans are pushing back...but if Republicans ARE pushing back it's because they know the Democrat's ideas will only make matters worse, and of course if Republicans offer any ideas, Democrats will just push back by screaming from the hilltops they're trying to kill your Grandma or something. lol
Another mouthful. I mean, what the Democrats do is run around in circles, right? So, the only way you can explain it is by TALKING in very dizzying circles like I am doing here. lol
But you're absolutely right. On all counts, INCLUDING how many votes it takes to pass a budget bill. Schumer can say all he wants that Republicans control the House and Senate, but we don't control 2/3rds of it which is what is needed in order to pass a budget bill.
They think we're stupid.
