Good grief. In the last 20 years, every single government shutdown has been Republican-made — and yet, like clockwork, the blame gets thrown at Democrats. That is projection in its purest form.
Look at the record:
-
2013: The GOP-controlled House shut down the government in a failed attempt to sabotage Obamacare, even though it was already law and upheld by the courts.
-
2018 and 2019: With Trump in the White House and Republicans in control of both chambers, they still forced not one but two shutdowns. One of those became the longest in U.S. history.
This is not governance. Republicans don’t govern, because governing requires work, compromise, and responsibility. Instead, they break things. They break government. They break citizen cohesion. They even break the idea of patriotism, twisting it into a tool for power rather than a duty to country.
Why? Because for them, breaking has always been easier than fixing. Anything. Democracy. Community. Trust. Unity.
The only thing they consistently build is MaGA’s anti-democracy.
The Words vs. The Results
Beloved MaGA Words:
Freedom, Patriot, Patriotism, The Flag, Constitution (lol), Faith, God, God’s Country, Liberty, Family Values, America First, Founders, Founding Fathers, 1776, Second Amendment, Law and Order (lol), The Troops, Veterans, Posse Comitatus
MaGA Results:
Chaos, Division, Debt, Authoritarianism, Corruption, Lies, Culture Wars, Attacks on Democracy, Broken Communities, Lost Rights, Extremism, Violence, Propaganda, Bigotry, Book Bans, Fear, Weakening America, Shutdowns
They preach one set of words but deliver the exact opposite in practice. That is not patriotism. That is not pro-American.
What Real Patriotism Looks Like
Real patriotism is not about slogans, hats, or culture war rallies. Or Pres. Trump's own official from the White House, anti-Democratic, partisan, deep fake AI videos
It really is about stewardship of our shared nation and responsibility to its people. It is about building up America, strengthening democracy, protecting all citizens, supporting communities, and honoring our shared humanity within the bounds of our borders, not tearing them down for power.
And democracy. Fairness, Truth. Honesty. Decency. Humanity. Reality.
That is what America deserves.
And that is what we should demand.
Cheers! Sláinte! Na zdravie!
