I give Dems as much richly deserved shit as anyone, but this I will support all day. The shutdown hurts America, and the partisan lies on government sites are not confusing anyone.

Based on my Republican coworkers, I'm going to disagree with the last statement.

Some of them might actually believe their shit, but you can't assume such people say what they believe. That's the whole game.

Let me ask, are you basing this off of actually going out and talking to folks? Or are you basing this off of what you've heard exclusively from people on left leaning websites and you are just assuming that his supporters couldn't possibly believe such stupid, blatant lies?

Be careful of echo chambers.

Then please inform them that the Republicans have the majority in the House 219 v 213, the Senate 53 v 47, and they have the White House. If the Republicans actually votes together they would be able to Open the Gov.
