Sounds like you’re looking for civil war basically.

Republicans have always been hypocrites.

I think the thing that people like you don’t realize is that government shutdowns almost never lead to legislation changes. It is basically just a political gesture that is meant to move public opinion only.

Dems maintained positive public opinion for a while, but it wasn’t going to last forever. Republicans were not going to cave on the issue, and after the longest shutdown in history, it’s possible their internal polling showed public opinion was starting to sour.

Your opinion (and a lot of others in this community) is to keep the government shut down forever and magically that’ll lead to all your legislations getting passed and nobody will be harmed by this shutdown and only republicans are viewed negatively. It’s a great fantasy, but in the real world, you don’t get everything, especially when you are not in control.

What I see here is the Republican Party voted to get rid of these subsidies, and you guys just want to blame Democrats because they didn’t want to shoot themselves in the foot on top of being smothered by the party in power.

The fact that we haven’t yet is only more proof that the people being picked up are not and have never been dangerous criminals.

Not that we needed proof of this.

It’s a Republican ass mentality to say it serves me me me. If the user had said it was for the greater good because of subsidies and Trump and what not, I wouldn’t have left the comment I did. But they said it serves me me me and they don’t care about any of the people genuinely affected by the government shutdown.

The opinion is not republican, but the behavior is 100% republican.

Edit: It’s also worth noting my original comment that started all this.

Imagine if the government was still shut down and we still didn’t have these subsidies.

So the user’s reply to that comment was to say he didn’t care about the subsidies or shutdown cause it benefited them.

I think you’re making significantly more out of my comment than what was actually said. I responded to a guy saying “me me me” with “you sound like a different group of people that also say me me me”. Any deeper meaning you are giving to that comment is on you.

As for downvotes, I clearly don’t care. Lemmy users tend to be wildly unrealistic when it comes to what democrats should do. I’m fine with getting downvoted for going against the grain. Somebody has to or this echo chamber will spiral out of control.

You’re turned around here bro, we all wanted

You must be turned around cause that’s not the words the user wrote. If it was, I wouldn’t have written my comment.

Nah, my Republican friends are selfish and would say something like “it serves my best interest” so we should keep doing that.

It serves my interests so we should do that. That’s some Republican ass mentality.

Same way they murdered Epstein

Sound like all my Republican friends.

Accused? Was there no trial?

Imagine if the government was still shut down and we still didn’t have these subsidies.

Not much else they can do except raise awareness and get people to vote in the midterms. Which isn’t nothing.

This is incredible.

We wouldn’t have these justices if it weren’t for massive amounts of money in our elections. So it checks out.

This is legit a bit horrifying. The robot ripped its own consciousness out of his body and died.

Either way, it’s different than what Trump was saying he was going to do. All they were talking about was violent criminals, not people that were valuable members of the community. Now that’s all they’re getting is the valuable community members.
