Washington is reaching a consensus: the government will shut down in 10 days — and Republicans will bear the brunt of voter disgust over it.
With House GOP leadership on Wednesday again showing little progress in moving a stopgap funding bill to prevent a shutdown, officials have begun a two-pronged effort to prepare for a shutdown that seems less avoidable every day.
House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., said Sunday that Republicans are “in the middle of a civil war” as both parties wrestle for an agreement to avert a government shutdown when funding expires at the end of the month.
In an interview on ABC News’ “This Week,” Jeffries said: “Let’s be clear: House Republicans are in the middle of a civil war.
“The House Republican civil war is hurting hard-working American taxpayers and limiting our ability to be able to solve problems on their behalf. It’s unfortunate, but as House Democrats, we’re going to continue to try to find common ground with the other side of the aisle to work with Senate Democrats and Senate Republicans and President Biden,” he said....
...He added: “Why in the world in the middle of all the issues that we are trying to tackle all of the problems that we are trying to solve on behalf of the American people? What House Republicans inject this illegitimate impeachment inquiry in the middle of us trying to do the business of the American people. It’s quite unfortunate, it’s wrong, it’s distracting and it should end now.”

Top Democrat says House Republicans are in a ‘civil war’ as government shutdown looms
FWIW, the Republican Civil War has been growing for decades now. It started with Newt and the creation of the acronym "RINO". It took another step when Republicans started attacking veterans in 2000. Another step began after 2012 when the Republican Party became openly racist by dumping the results of their own Growth & Opportunity Project AKA The Republican Autopsy. This, IMO, is what oppened the door for an openly racist Presidential candidate. Trump using the power of the Republican Party to hand the Democrats a win in 2018 just to take down Republican dissenters was a final nail in the Grand Ol' Party's coffin. Now the nation is seeing open political warfare among Republicans.
