Where the hell did the GOP get it into their head that the american peole would NOT LIKE a government shutdown?? or “blame” them for it?
I dont even remember the government being shut down when Clintoon was in office, and I certainly would not ‘blame’ the GOP if it did.
In fact I would be pretty HAPPY if they shut the whole place down until they figure out how to live within a budget.

I remember that shutdown, and IIRC, Gingrich got blamed for it, not Clinton. [MSM hated Pubbies even then.]
It was more political than actual. They shut down 'non-essential services' but the basis of government continued to function. If you needed to order a book from the GPO, you were SOL. Otherwise, things pretty much continued to operate behind the scenes. IIRC, even the Post Office was exempt and continued to operate.
