To be fair it wasn't written very coherently. Yes im fascinated by Republicans pivot in recent years to liken Dems to Nazis, and fascists...
I dont think its a smart move
Why do these happen? I believe various presidents have had them. Just seems a mad way to run a government

Congress gets paid during a government shutdown. What about the janitors?
Many federal government employees will forgo paychecks if the government shuts down Oct. 1. But that won’t be the case f

It's all pretty alien to me tbh. Doesn't seem in the interests of anyone when it happens especially the public. Wouldn't there be a better system than shutting things down

Generally the party deemed to not be in power gets blamed for shutdowns. The theory was that the threat of shutdowns and the separation of powers would encourage moderation as people would need to compromise with each other for the government to run.
Unfortunately that often isn't the case. Even beach in the early days of the USA, people entrenched into their camps. The civil war was the end result where the ability to compromise broke down completely.
Many polls suggest exactly the opposite

Here's Why Both Sides Expect to to ‘Win’ the Shutdown

The people most likely, from your statement, are those affected by the healthcare cuts. A very portion, if not a majority, in red states.
Probably. But then we would have nothing to complain about.
Quite honestly, it seems to be the only way the democrats can bring anything to the table.
The previous bill was only passed as is was classed as a "continuing resolution" which bypassed the need for a 60 vote majority in the senate.
This time the republican need democrat votes.
As I have read, trump and the republicans have denied the democrats any input to these bills. Basically, my way or the highway.
If trump/republicans refuse to negotiate any concessions that they are fully responsible and at the same time irresponsible.

It is weird to have so many kiwis unable to live/work in NZ, so they must go to Oz?
Americans would start a revolution if that was the economic deal.
