They should treat every day of shutdown as a success, and every social media should have a running counter of "the shutdown has saved you the tax payers this amount of dollars ao far"
Sadly, they mostly get backpay. Shutdowns don't save money...but at least the politicians aren't actively fucking us during the downtime, so it's still a win. But it really needs to be changed so a shutdown actually means a shutdown, and these fuckers don't get paid.
Can't keep the government running? Firstly, good. Secondly, then you shouldn't get paid. If I'm an owner/manager/employee at a store, and I can't keep that store open, I don't get to decide to pay myself with other people's money after the fact.
Which is nice, until enough rinos are bribed or the dems do their government shutdown schtick and have the media blame republicans.

You ever notice how there's no "grassroots" BLM, climate change, or feminist protest during a government shutdown?
