Most of the public will blame the Republicans, but Trump and the Republicans don’t care about “most of the public.” They only care about their base.
Their base will definitely believe that the government shutdown is not the fault of the Republicans who refuse to accept any deal, but instead is the fault of the Democrats/Biden for just giving the Republicans 100% of what they demand.
At the same time, they’ll believe that the Republicans caused the shutdown, but that it’s a good thing that they did. Yes, it’s contradictory. No, they don’t care.
The base that will blame biden is in on the lie though. You can ask pointed questions like “so you believe biden vetoed it” or “why cant the house gop vote on a spending bill”. The ones that actually follow politics know enough not to sound stupid. They will keep side stepping the issue until the subject changes. They are disciplined.
