You are no more "the people" than is anyone else.
The Left ialso is really fond of anointing themselves as "the people", and then using that to justify all sorts of wacky crap. One of the big lefty chants is "The people, united, can never be defeated", which they repeat endlessly in those ridiculous sing-song voices.
Everybody likes to consider themselves and like-thinkers "the People".
But neither Trump, nor Harris, nor any substantial number of those who won races for Congress ran on a platform of "I want to shut the government down right now.". If that is truly what a majority of "the people" really wanted, why didn't Trump run on that? Why didn't Harris?
So it can’t be shut down for a few weeks till Trump is in office.
And you implying we the people want it shut down forever is nutz:-)
btw nice chin,-)
