You could have said the same thing about Republicans. The base would blame them for shutdowns. Which wasn't true, didn't happen. That fear is simply, factually wrong.

So the Dems would have to filibuster for 4 years on a budget to fund the government 9 months? Where do you think this I headed? We have 4 years for fighting. I’d rather be in the majority in 2 years but folks just want to bash Dems at every turn and doing MAGA’s job for them.
At the very least the Dems could slow down the implementation of the worst of the agenda, and the battle itself becomes news. It also sets the narrative. Informing people. Which lends more political power to the effort.
Dems don’t do government shutdowns. I don’t consider this a huge win for Trump. We need to focus on getting Dems to vote in these special elections and going around saying Dems are useless isn’t going to help that on April 1.
