>The US Republican strategy has been to weaponize federal government dysfunction whenever dems are in power, in order to prove an ideological point that the US federal governments are dysfunctional. They seem to have succeeded in proving their point: the US Federal government is dysfunctional. Of course, it's a self-fulfilling prophecy, but they're right. It's a lot like two people being married, and one of them saying "this marriage isn't going to work", and then intentionally acting as a terrible abusive spouse. They're right: the marriage isn't going to work, and probably should be ended. In this case, half the US voters continue to vote for one party that intentionally sabotages the government, so there really needs to be a divorce of some kind.
