Day 5 of making a thread every day until Democrats allow the US government to re-open

Day 5 Updates:
- Government shutdown enters fifth day as Democrats and Republicans remain at an impasse https://apnews.com/article/trump-democrat-schumer-shutdown-thune-jeffries-3891740009c19847590be2a0fd6d1fd4
- House Speaker Mike Johnson and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries appeared on NBC’s “Meet the Press” on Sunday, where they addressed the current status of funding talks on Capitol Hill. https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2025/10/05/government-shutdown-weekend-trump-democrats/86506071007/
- Trump Renews Layoff Threats as Shutdown Accusations Continue to Fly https://www.nytimes.com/2025/10/05/us/politics/trump-democrats-shutdown.html (no paywall: https://archive.is/X03Pj)
- White House threatens mass layoffs amid deepening US government shutdown https://www.aljazeera.com/economy/2025/10/5/white-house-threatens-mass-layoffs-amid-deepening-us-government-shutdown

At the heart of the standoff is Democratic Party demands that Republicans agree to an additional $700bn in spending by restoring cuts to healthcare that were enacted over the summer and make permanent the expiring temporary COVID emergency health care credits enacted in 2023 that are due to expire Jan 1, 2026.

You can't make a thread every day here. It's against the board rules.
>>
>>1445082
don't waste your time
they're a retard who thinks posting notices that trump is shutting down the government for stupid partisan reasons on everything during the shutdown is a good idea
>>
>>1445082
>Hasn't read the rules.
>>
>>1445071
Reminder that the Republicans deliberately avoided holding the last session before the shutdown so that they didn't have to confirm the new congressman.
>>
>>1445106
Is that why Democrats are refusing to let the Senate vote on this bill?
>>
>>1445105
It's an unwritten rule. You see it only when you try to post more than 5 threads. I'm trying to help you.
>>
>>1445113
Me?
Dumbass, im not the OP.
Besides, how the fuck do you expect anyone to know or respect unwritten rules?
You are just blowing it out your ass, haha.
>>
>>1445071
"If there is a shutdown I think it would be a tremendously negative mark on the president of the United States. He's the one who has to get people together."

- Donald J. Trump
>>
>>1445071
So, long story short, when Trump holds the shutdown hostage because he demands funding for his border wall that nobody gives a shit about or talks about anymore its okay but if Dems do the same for anything they wwant the shills have an absolute meltdown. The state of cognitive function in the U.S. is dire.
>>
>>1445123
Were not having a meltdown. We don't really care how long the libs shutdown the government for. We will win, like we always do.
>>
The United States is 28x larger than Germany with a popular that's 4 times larger than Germany with a higher rate of gun ownership per capita in the entire world.

Trump and Stephen Miller will never ever control the United States.
>>
>>1445125
Who do you think has all the guns?
>>
>>1445124
>Were not having a meltdown.
This is thread five, anon.
>>
>>1445129
One anon does not represent 70 million anons.
>>
So... the government not working is working... perhaps fire the government.
>>
>>1445130
Yes it does. Thought or opinion that contradicts the great leader is not allowed in MAGA cult. Being all the same with strict thought control is literally the defining feature of being a Trump supporter.
>>
>>1445124
Sucks that Donald J. Trump disagrees with you and believes the president is responsible for shutdowns. He said it multiple times when Obama was in office. You better hope nobody reports you to the ministry of truth for disagreeing with Trump.
>>
>>1445133
In your opinion.
>>
>>1445133
>Being all the same with strict thought control is literally the defining feature
This is literally contrary to published science lol.
The science shows that conservatives have a higher diversity of viewpoints than progressives.

But it doesn't surprise me that you believe what you do, you are statistically likely to be extremely narrow-minded after all
>>
>>1445138
From your source

“The pattern does not imply that Republicans are more tolerant than Democrats, nor that Republicans could deal better with attitudinal uncertainty. It does imply, however, that –at this particular moment in time– Democrats and Republicans are constructing and managing their partisan identities differently in relation to the topics reflected in these questionnaire items.”

“Research suggests that social category membership (e.g., being White, Christian) is more important for the construction of Republican identity than it is for Democrat identity (Mason & Wronski, 2018). Fulfilling such normative criteria may hence qualify someone as a valid group member even if that same person may hold somewhat liberal views on, for example, gay marriage.“

>>1445138
This study only had 13% of participants were Republican. And what this shows is republicans are uneducated and don’t even know what they believe or what their beliefs affect as far as political beliefs go. The republicans are confused and unaware of their convictions function in politics. This is the reason for the scatter graph results. they even say so at the end of the study.

You posting this study as proof of your opinion only further proves the uneducated nature of conservatives.


Like Trump says all time “smart people dont like me”

>The pattern does not imply that Republicans are more tolerant than Democrats, nor that Republicans could deal better with attitudinal uncertainty
And? I never claimed this did it
>>1445177
And? Distribution was controlled for, read the methods section.
Your objection doesn't even make sense because if they didn't have a large enough sample of republican's then the variation of attitudes should be even smaller, but it's not, and Democrats with a larger sample had extremely narrow viewpoints. It literally just supports the anecdotal observation that American progressives have very narrow, uniform opinions of issues, eg the "current thing" meme

Hey, I'm sorry you two dislike science, but these are the facts
