y Matthew Hayward 3/12025 And just like every single time this happens, the party in power cries about how irresponsible the opposition is for not caving to their spending demands, while the opposition plays their predictable role of pretending to care about fiscal responsibility. Fast forward one election cycle, and they’ll swap scripts—and the same bootlicking partisans will cheer it on like the good little NPCs they are. Your memory is shorter than a TikTok trend. Your "principles" last about as long as your party tells you they should. And every two years, you fall for the exact same scam, patting yourself on the back for being a "critical thinker" while regurgitating the same propaganda your team spoon-fed you. Democrats and Republicans don’t fear each other—they fear you waking up. If this game wasn’t so predictable, it might actually be funny. But it’s not. It’s pathetic. #WakeUp #GovernmentShutdownTheatre #BothPartiesAreTheSame #NPCPolitics
