But the curious thing is that I see Republicans undecided as to whether they want to blame Democrats for the Shutdown or Own The Libs by leveraging the Shutdown to do what they were going to do anyway.

The Republican brand has become so much of a “We don’t need Big Government!” bravado line that the libertarian wing of the party is once again enthusiastically supporting the current state of affairs. Not unlike what happened in 1995 and 2013 and 2019 and 2024, incidentally.
