There were no “consequences” from the last “shutdown”. It was all a bunch of overhyped media propaganda. Not even worth a second thought especially for actual conservatives.
The GOP establishment are all liberals. That was even proven back when Reagan first challenged Ford.
The consequences I was referring to were the political consequences, and in the last shutdown they weren’t very good for the Republicans.
I agree the actual consequences to the man on the street were nonexistent but the other side won the political battle and that is what this is about. If they keep winning politically we’ll never change the direction this country is going in.
