I keep wondering how this is happening and how deeply compromised most (almost all) of the Republicans in power are for us to have gotten to this point.

And the shutdown. How does it make any sense? He allegedly wants to wall for safety, but most of the departments that are there to keep us safe, are either closed or working without pay. How long till something REALLY bad happens.

I think the shutdown has zero to do with the so-called wall. I think the shutdown, now nearing a month in duration, was a directive issued to Trump by Putin in order to destabilize our economy and undo economic progress made by Obama, which carried over to Trump's regime. Trump couldn't care less about a wall, unless he was getting kickbacks from vendors. Now that concrete's out, his Mafia pals will lose interest.
