Florida Republicans did something similar when people voted to let felons have their vote back. They don’t care about the will of the people.

No one in government wants a shutdown before the holidays:

 

Jeffries suggests Democrats could support GOP stopgap funding bill

 

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) suggested Monday that Democrats may support the Republicans’ short-term funding bill to prevent a government shutdown — a sharp change of tone that could pave the way for easy passage when the bill hits the floor on Tuesday. 

 

In a letter to all House Democrats, Jeffries stopped short of saying party leaders are ready to endorse the GOP proposal, known as a continuing resolution (CR), which was introduced by Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) over the weekend. But he also didn’t rule it out. 

 

“At this time, we are carefully evaluating the proposal set forth by Republican leadership and discussing it with Members,” Jeffries wrote.

The letter marks a sharp change of tone from just last week, when Democratic leaders had skewered Republicans for floating a “laddered” budget approach, which carves government funding into separate pots to be considered on different timetables.

The House approved Johnson's   bill to fund the government and remain open for the time being.

 

Bottom line....93 republicans vote NO against their own speaker's bill.  2 Democrats voted NO

They don’t want to get blamed for the shutdown. It’s a no win proposition for them.

Alexander Hamilton, (a true "prophet"), writing to George Washington:

 

"A people so enlightened and so diversified as the people of this Country can surely never be brought to it, but from convulsions and disorders, in consequence of the acts of popular demagogues.

The truth unquestionably is, that the only path to a subversion of the republican system of the Country is, by flattering the prejudices of the people, and exciting their jealousies and apprehensions, to throw affairs into confusion, and bring on civil commotion. Tired at length of anarchy, or want of government, they may take shelter in the arms of monarchy for repose and security.

 

Those then, who resist a confirmation of public order, are the true Artificers of monarchy—not that this is the intention of the generality of them. Yet it would not be difficult to lay the finger upon some of their party who may justly be suspected. When a man unprincipled in private life desperate in his fortune, bold in his temper, possessed of considerable talents, having the advantage of military habits—despotic in his ordinary demeanour—known to have scoffed in private at the principles of liberty—when such a man is seen to mount the hobby horse of popularity—to join in the cry of danger to liberty—to take every opportunity of embarrassing the General Government & bringing it under suspicion—to flatter and fall in with all the non sense of the zealots of the day—It may justly be suspected that his object is to throw things into confusion that he may “ride the storm and direct the whirlwind.”

It is good to see you guys haven't forgotten who you are.  If something like this happens we will have to live in it, agree, follow the rules.  Our parents/grandparents wouldn't fall for it.  Make America Great Again Just look.  Thanks Biden.

Trump is working night and day with the aid of the Republican party to install him to make all the decisions for everybody.  The repubs in congress are idiots totally committed to make the United States system of government dysfunctional.
