Democratic Government Shutdown Strategy Amid Border Enforcement Successes

Discover why Democrats initiated a government shutdown despite struggling poll numbers and evidence that Trump’s tough immigration policies are working, even according to cartels.

Short Summary

  • Democrats forced a government shutdown because they are losing on nearly every major issue except healthcare. [00:03:43]
  • New polling indicates that voters widely reject the shutdown strategy, even within the Democratic base. [00:12:46]
  • Simultaneously, strong federal enforcement actions, like the Chicago ICE raid targeting TDA terrorists, highlight popular Republican priorities. [00:15:47]
  • A cartel member admitted to CNN that Trump’s policies are making their job tougher, directly contradicting Democratic talking points. [00:26:10]

This analysis breaks down the political calculus behind the Democratic decision to force a government shutdown. The speaker argues this move is born from desperation due to poor polling on crime and the economy, attempting to pivot the conversation solely to healthcare, despite evidence that border security actions are proving popular.

If the government is shut down I shouldn’t have to be taxed then. Give me my tax free purgatory.

It would be much different if Congress had their pay withheld as all the actual workers who are going to have to live with no pay!

In El Paso, Tx, during the Biden admin, we would see high speed chases where law enforcement was in pursuit of a van or suv full of illegals. Often times they’d crash and injur or kill those inside. We would see videos on IG and FB of illegals popping out of storm drains at night in downtown El Paso. There was recently a tunnel discovered inside a house that was about 1/4 mile from the border wall that led straight into Juarez, Mexico. This isn’t a joke. People that don’t live on the border and don’t experience this have no idea the kind of lawlessness that was allowed under Biden. They can express whatever opinion they like about immigrants but until they see it in person, whatever they say is holds the weight of grain of dirt.

Michael there's a third option that liberals always resort to when it comes to things like the ICE raid: lies and propaganda, ie "there were no gangsters/terrorists in that building".

Somehow all the taxpayers still have to go to work and pay taxes at gunpoint. Somehow the country still runs fine

There is a huge difference between the government, and the unelected federal beaurocracy.

The government shut down should include paychecks of every sitting member of the House or the Senate. Pretty sure things would be resolved fairly quickly.

Maybe the ICE agents should have just asked the Tren de Araguans if they were hurt. After all, "hurt people hurt people"
