We jail people for being homeless. My fine city of Fresno will even fine you $1000. So maybe not concentration camp levels of fascism, but yeah....

The government is already shutting down though, the point is to not give the executive branch a blank check to spend because they're ignoring the courts. But I agree for different reasons that this move serves the party interests.

A lot of the people I could not convince to vote this round were cynical because of the pandering to the racists and billionaires. Appealing to the worse demotivates any base of people who have rectitude, if this was not the case, then the party would not represent a lesser evil.
