At least five U.S. airports have refused to broadcast a video of Kristi Noem blaming Democrats for the government shutdown, citing the video’s “political nature.”
They are already vilified by Republicans, so it isn’t like they have anything to lose. If the Democrats cave, they will just be vilified by Democratic voters, too.
They want/need more vilification. The further they vilify, the further they can go on things like project 2025.
Eg you can say they vilified the left 10 years ago, but 10 years ago they wouldn’t have gotten away with deploying the national guard. They get away with it now because of the last 10 years of vilifying even more. Now imagine what they’ll be able to do in the next 5 to 10 years.
The goal is complete vilification. Then it’s “won’t someone please rid me of these troublesome Democrats”.
