The blame is on Republicans, fearing they will be "primaried"

In all past Government shutdowns, there was "a failure to compromise" when there was something like a Democrat Senate and a Republican House, or a Republican Congress and a Democrat in the White House.

This is the FIRST shutdown to occur when all 3 lawmaking institutions is occupied by the same political party. Why a shutdown when their agenda should be a slam-dunk?

You would think it is dirt-simple for a 51% "tyranny of the majority" to pass whatever laws they need to totally discount "the losing 49%", meaning the Democrats and all the works the Democrats have enacted in the last 65 years, since Little Rock, Arkansas.

But, we do not really have party unity among the Republicans. Too many are in support of the top 1% business leaders who want to use everyone of all colors, creeds, and culture as their future corporate slaves. It would be a waste to blow away half of their labor supply, half of their consumer market. Only 2/3 of the Republicans are the die-hard racists that worship Trump, the KKK or any other white nationalist despot. That's only 1/3 of the nation, and I guaranteed you that nearly all of the top 1% are not in this 1/3. The top 1% knows better.

But, this white-supremacist group is still formidable when it comes to voting power every even year November, just like blacks and browns have become formidable.

The dems

The dems are every bit as much in the pocket of Walstreet as the republicans are. Time to end those parties. They are both killing us. Green or socialist or communist who cares any party that does not suck Wall Street dick is fine by me.
