I think the 210 can rightly point to over a decade of compromising, and they can make a pretty compelling case that every compromise led to more extreme and dangerous behavior from that small minority. I say this as someone who supported this compromises and now deeply regrets it. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/2011_United_States_debt-ceiling_crisis https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/2011_United_States_debt-ceil...
