I guess resigning instead of playing along with Musk can be viewed as a sign of protest, if not …strength? On the other hand, wouldn’t a sign of strength and courage be to stay on and fight and make things difficult for these heartless thugs? Otherwise, they’ll just replace you with a sycophant or incompetent cyborg, or no one.
It’s the rare bird who would actually risk a stable home life and marriage and child-rearing responsibilities and a nice life beyond the Beltway to go all-in on saving the democracy—even as one stands to lose all that stability by neglecting the fight and giving Trump and his minions carte blanche.
All of a sudden, we’re in the fight of our lives. All of us have to be in this together– now– if there’s any hope of turning a corner in 2028. The people in charge are in it for themselves, as usual. They won’t be of any help, can’t be counted on for anything other than misery and coldness.
