1. El Cierre de Gobierno como Ataque a la Democracia.
El prolongado cierre de gobierno es percibido por muchos como una estrategia deliberada de la administración Trump y el GOP para desmantelar las instituciones democráticas, buscando un control autoritario y demostrando que el sistema no funciona.
- This isnt a shutdown. Its a takedown of democracy, decency, and everyone who still believes government should serve people, not power.
- A government shutdown means democracy isnt working, exactly what an authoritarian would want.
- Trump is using the shutdown as a test on exerting complete and total control of the government.
- The government shutdown is bad enough, its the shutdown of democracy that they are signaling here that is really scary.
2. La Crueldad del SNAP: El Hambre como Arma Política.
La retención intencional de fondos para el Programa de Asistencia Nutricional Suplementaria (SNAP) y los subsidios de la ACA se describe como un acto de crueldad diseñado para castigar a los ciudadanos vulnerables y usar su sufrimiento como palanca política.
- The gop is starving families to make a political point. Trumps admin is holding snap benefits hostage during their shutdown, punishing the most vulnerable while protecting billionaires and private jets. This is cruelty by design.
- Trump is literally arguing he should have the power to starve americans. The cruelty is the point.
- When government becomes a weapon against the poor, democracy starves too.
- My sincere belief is that the ice raids have failed to provoke widespread riots, so now trump ends snap during shutdown to provoke widespread food riots. He wants to invoke the insurrection act then suspend habeas corpus, ending democracy.
3. La Fragilidad de la Democracia y la Capitulación Partidista.
Existe una profunda frustración con la respuesta de los líderes demócratas, acusados de ceder ante las tácticas de chantaje republicanas, lo que se considera un golpe a la lucha por preservar la democracia y los programas sociales esenciales.
- Dems caved. Republicans win again. The people get nothing. The shutdown was a pointless, and whatever leverage the democrats had is gone. The us is an oligarchy, not a democracy.
- Eight senators who caucus with the democrats joined republicans to end the government shutdown, not in victory, not to secure healthcare for millions, but to hand.
- If we choose to get rolled by donald trump because the shutdown is hard, i worry that thats a significant step towards the ultimate unwinding of our democracy, murphy said.
- Senator jeff merkley is holding the senate floor- 17hours and counting! show support for our democracy!
4. Consecuencias y el Futuro de la Gobernanza.
El evento subraya la disfunción del sistema político estadounidense, donde la falta de compromiso y la priorización de la ideología sobre el bienestar ciudadano amenazan la estabilidad económica y la confianza en la gobernanza democrática.
- The longest government shutdown in u.s. History, brought to you by trump and the gop. Americans go hungry while they live lavishly on our dime. The cruelty is the point.
- The government shutdown is impacting social security. So republicans are thieves in multiple areas. Republicansarethieves stealing your health care damaging social security blocking democracy.
- The hard work of governing in a democracy is hammering out a compromise.
- If we get through this wa shred of democracy left we need to push for term limits campaign finance reform repeal citizens united,pass fair tax laws pass legislation that if they shut down the gov they have no benefits no salary. No back pay once they open it back up.
