LOL ProGlibs are totally ashamed and defeated.
It was inevitable.
King Schumer and the other Dems expressly stated that their intention was to get political "leverage" by being obstructionist and shutting down the government. They even admitted that they knew their tactics were going to make people "suffer" but oh well...
But they had no end game. They walked out on a limb and sawed it off behind themselves.
King Schumer never intended to negotiate in good faith, and he didn't. We have libs on this board claiming that the Republicans misrepresented the Dems negotiating position. And then fabricating from whole cloth an alternate reality negotiating position that never existed until TODAY, when Schumer announced it, trying to salvage something out of the fiasco he deliberately created.
Rewriting history doesn't change what actually happened.
And what happened is this...the people who were actually suffering due to King Schumer's shutdown began to realize they were the pawns and the Dems didn't care about them at all. They exercised their right to petition their government, and they did so. And they did so loudly enough, and in enough numbers, that King Schumer has now lost control of his caucus.
And this is a fair outcome and one that was to be expected from the beginning. Because being obstructionist for no other reason than to be obstructionist is not going to get the bank accounts filled or the SNAP payments made. It's not going to fly the airplanes.
Democrats are delusional but when reality finally hits, it hits hard and it hits fast.
