I found this comment hilarious, but getting serious for a second: they think that shutdowns show
1) strength because compromise is for chumps
2) that government is inefficient and proving it is part of their mission
Point 2 is basically due to being immersed in modern US conservative messaging. Echo chambers, if you will. The counter argument is easy: the government works fine, if you’d stop sabotaging it.
Heck, the argument I just made is what got me to rethink how the Republican Party was operating around 2012. I’m here cause of that :)
