"Even though @gaslitnation is only three years old, we may now be covering our third government shutdown! The US government did not used to shut down this often. Prior to the 2013 shutdown, the last one was in 1995." patreon.com/posts/56731562
"The previous shutdown was part of a broader goal of oligarchs and plutocrats to strip the US down and sell it for parts. This is both a foreign and domestic goal. The GOP has been pursuing it since 1980s and is backed by transnational organized crime." patreon.com/posts/56731562
"The 2013 shutdown was the first Tea Party shutdown, the first 'Yeah, we're an apocalyptic death cult' shutdown. It was a brazen test of how much hardship Americans would put up with and how many resources they would do without." -- @gaslitnation patreon.com/posts/56731562
"If the shutdown happens this week, it will be the first pandemic shutdown in US history. The US was already hanging by a thread in 2020 and covid snapped that thread. And now, that pain will be even further exacerbated and exploited." -- @gaslitnation patreon.com/posts/56731562
