Remember, Non-Essential Government Employees are 97.3% Obama hires. Maybe even more. The majority of 2.7% he didn't hire, 99.8 are Democrats. The majority of the 0.2 he didn't hire that are Republicans, 99.9% are Never Trumpers. I am sorry that 0.1% that might like Trump or haven't made up their minds yet.

Your post reminded me of something. They should pass a law that says “in future shutdowns, furloughed government employees not working, will not receive back-pay during the period of the shutdown.”
