Yes they did. They did so because the Republicans refused to consider extending the ACA subsidies. Government shutdowns are a common practice for both sides to get the other party to the negotiating table.

The government shutdown is already the longest in American history. But it’s also perhaps the most punishing, in part because President Trump has taken actions no previous administration ever took during a shutdown.
Over the past six weeks, the Trump administration cut food stamps for millions of low-income Americans. It tried to fire thousands of government workers and withhold back pay from others, while freezing or canceling money for projects in Democratic-led states.

Once upon a time, everyone agreed that you don't negotiate with terrorists. Not anymore. Nowadays Democrats ARE the terrorists.
Great job, Cruella Democrats!!

Calling the opposition party terrorists is akin to claiming that half of Americans are enemies of the state. Something that Trump has said more than once. Describing people as terrorists is nothing more than a justification for the cruelty of the Trump administration towards its own citizens.
Just because someone doesn’t agree with you doesn’t make them terrorists and it certainly isn’t a justification for the cruelty of the Trumpian response to the shutdown.
