CMV: The only way dems can use their leverage is to enact a government shutdown until trump steps down.

Most political analysis has shown that the only real leverage the minority party has right now is to let the deadline of March 14th hit and cause the government to be shut down. My initial thought is that this could work out for dems is they play the messaging right, i.e. "never before have we seen the executive branch so blatantly disregard the courts and grind the government to a standstill, so we cannot fund a government that refuses to obey a rule of law", I'm sure Mitch McConnell could come up with even better bullshit.

So then Trump walks back to the White house with his tail between his legs. Promises to follow the court orders, then undoes some of the bad he and elon did. And then what? We pass a spending bill, THEN trump goes back to breaking the law and undermining democracy.

With him in power, he can only lead us to a dictatorship and a future where all political enemies get sent to guantanamo bay.

Are there any better ideas? Could the budget be contingent on a veto proof bill passes that limits the powers of the president? Or makes a new org that reports to the courts for solving these constitutional crisis issues?
