7. Although critical aspects of government continue because employees are doing their jobs

with delayed pay (assuming trump doesn’t try to screw them), GOPers will say/believe that we don’t need as much government because things worked OK during a shutdown. They are too stupid to realize it’s short-term and most employees are working to keep things going for a little while.

That’s what ticks me off.
