You can add ‘government shutdown’ to the growing list of things Democrats are willing to do to usurp the will of America’s voters and stop President Donald Trump’s agenda. Over the weekend, California Democrat Robert Garcia voiced his support for a government shutdown despite saying they were bad for the economy back in 2023.
Here’s Garcia on MSNBC. (WATCH)
Democrat Rep. Robert Garcia on MSNBC backed a potential government shutdown, saying Dems must “do whatever it takes” to stop Trump’s agenda.

In 2023, he called shutdowns “political games with the American economy.”

Toddlers love to throw tantrums, when they don’t get the goodies.

The Democrats are spoiled children.
Commenters say they have the perfect word for what Garcia is embracing while he targets Trump and, by extension, the American people.
Hypocrisy. The word you're looking for is hypocrisy.

Hypocrisy is a core value among the left and their media willing accomplices.

The legendary hypocrisy of the Democrat party.

It’s never ending.

Democrats are always able to find vast stores of hypocrisy.
Posters say the Democrats are consumed by their insane mission to destroy Trump, even at the expense of the country.
They are solely focused on opposing Trump at every turn.
— Gunther Eagleman™ (@GuntherEagleman) September 8, 2025
They stand for nothing other than that.
Empty vessels fighting for the Establishment.
What other option do they have? If they do anything other than go against Trump, they don’t get paid.

They’re doing a really good job at opposing Trump at every turn.
— Media Lies (@MediasLies) September 8, 2025
Making midterms look like a bad time for their party
With no popular policies to put forward, they’ll be running on ‘We hate Trump’ again.
Commenters ask how Garcia can so blatantly push something he was so adamantly against just two years ago. The answers are simple.
He can slam shutdowns then, but support them now, because he has no principles. Zero.

'How can he slam shutdowns then but support them now?'

It's (D)ifferent this time.

The posters are correct. Garcia is a Democrat. His party is all about the pursuit of power. When one is driven by power and not the will of the voters, hypocrisy reigns supreme.
Editor's Note: President Trump is leading America into the "Golden Age" as Democrats try desperately to stop it.
