On the effect of the shutdown - Charles Bethea spoke to a T.S.A. officer:

'“I have co-workers that are viva la revolución personalities. They want change now, and they want to be part of it: ‘We should stop coming in during the shutdown and let them feel the pressure.’ For me and my household, I’ll show up. I’ve been through worse. I’ve lived some life. I have some other skill sets, thank God. Other people don’t have that.'

You can have a viva la revolución personalty, but that doesn't mean that change is coming, let alone revolution.

The revolution I see coming is the palace revolution.
