This is exactly how this will play out:

The shutdown WILL occur on Oct 1. No noticeable effects for a while.

On or about October 15, Obama will pull the plug on the EBT cards and blame Republicans.

From October 15 - November 1st, increasing levels of riots will occur in major cities. The entire time, Obama and the Propaganda Corps (ABC NBC CBS CNN NYT) will blame it on the shutdown and on Republicans.

November 1st through 7th, Obama will demand Democrats get to the polls to restore government services.

Democrats will turn out in numbers never seen before on an off year.

Republicans will not take the Senate and will lose the House. Obama will keep importing latinos at a breakneck speed from then on.

The coup will be complete.

EBT is done through the states.

That gets a rare dual-approval by both the Captain, and the Chief Medical Officer:

I hope not.
