Delay, Leak, Disobey: How to Counter Trump 2.0 from Within

~~~~~~
Indeed.... Your hypocrisy is well noted...

Well Doc, The Leftist maxim holds true:
Democrats are always guilty of whatever they accuse others of!
  • If they accuse you of fascism and dictatorship, know they intend to rule over you with an iron fist.
  • If they accuse you of oppressing free speech, know they are already doing it and trying to confuse the issue by accusing YOU of it before their actions are known!
  • If they accuse you of cultism and protecting your friends, you can be sure they are in lock step preparing to pardon their own family.
  • And if they accuse you of insurrection and a threat to democracy, you can be sure they just stole the presidential election and want you locked up.
 
Fascism doesnā€™t come for every generation, but it has come for ours.

ā€˜This is not a fight on the beaches of Normandy, but in our own country. This article begins a series on what opposing Donald Trump and his movement can look like. I hope you will join me as these progress.

For this article, I want to focus on how everyday Americans in the federal government can stand up to Donald Trump and his riotous misrule. When they entered public service, these patriotic men and women raised their right hand and made the following noble vow:

ā€œI do solemnly swear that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domesticā€¦ā€

A domestic enemy of the Constitution is poised to take the reins of the executive branch, and civil servants will soon be on the front lines opposing Donald Trumpā€™s quest for dictatorial power. In his first term, senior officials ā€“ ā€œthe adults in the roomā€ ā€“ often restrained Trumpā€™s most regressive, undemocratic impulses. Judging from his recently unveiled ā€œmost obedient dipshitā€ personnel strategy, Trump thinks he has learned from his past mistakes. Tom Nichols summarized Trumpā€™s nominees in The Atlantic yesterday: ā€œIf you want to assemble the infrastructure of an authoritarian government, this is how you do it.ā€

Yet his power over the executive branch and its employees is not absolute. Even a would-be American autocrat faces limits ā€“ not just constitutional or legal ones, but the practical realities of managing a sprawling government bureaucracy. To foil Trump a second time will take a more subversive and decentralized approach, and it depends in part on the bravery of our nationā€™s civil servants.ā€™


And we have semi-functional courts that can be used to oppose the fascist Trump regime ā€“ the glacial pace of the judicial process that benefited Trump as a private citizen will work to delay his authoritarian agenda.
What would you have said if someone posted this same thing when Biden took office?
I am betting you would have been completely outraged
