I can't wait for October. Not only are we going to get .net back but, with a little bit of luck, the fed will shut down on the 1st. We haven't had a good shutdown since Trump was in office.
I know the average citizen isn't affected by shutdowns but it is a glorious shitshow. Imagine thousands of seething government employees getting furloughed. The FBI agent investigating the friends and family of a J6er in solitary confinement? The CIA agent grooming a lost boy on 4chan to shoot up a school? The IRS agent reviewing every $600 purchase you've made? The NSA agent masturbating to the nudes on your GF's phone? All of them are sent home, without pay, for the duration of the shutdown. Everything they did to you during the COVID-19 pandemic happens to them during a shutdown, with the top of the pyramid of evil being the most affected. Every program is derailed to the tune of hundreds of millions or billions of dollars a day.
The Freedom Caucus is the 9/11 of caucuses. If just 30% of congress was Freedom Caucus, we could have a perpetual shutdown. If you hate the federal government, the most damaging legal thing you can do is to vote for politicians who are pro shutdown. It's so damaging that I'm convinced that their "election integrity efforts" are a direct attempt to mitigate people fucking with them at the ballot box. Also, I'm pretty sure the COVID shutdowns were an attempt at petty revenge for Trump's excellent January shutdown. They wanted to force you to feel their pain in the most petty way imaginable.
