One could of course argue that the Democrats are in the right by claiming that Trump's desire for funds for the wall is unreasonable. But even if the Democrats are in the right, that would only mean that they bear less blame for the shutdown, not that they bear no blame. They could easily end the shutdown by simply agreeing to Trump's demand to increase the spending of the national government by a tiny percentage (I believe the money Trump wants for the wall is less than 0.1% of the government's annual spending).
