You’re right, historically it has been best to bow to far right extremists making terroristic threats so the only members of the government are ones that agree with them.

Did you know we’ve literally tried that before?
It’s what ended reconstruction and was the original mission of the KKK.
People did what you’re supporting back then, it worked out fucking horribly. Seriously, people taking your current advice back then is one of the forks in the road that led to the current fucking shit show. But first it led to Jim Crow laws and massive civil rights setbacks. Because people cowed to just not threats but actual murders.
I swear, the vast majority of the reasons we can’t fix the same problems, is people refuse to remember how many times something has happened, what failed last time, and why we shouldn’t keep fucking doing it over and over.
And I’m not coming down on you personally, it’s just no one knows this shit anymore.
Fighting isn’t easy, we don’t just get to sit on the couch and make social media comments and call it a day.
You want to actually do something to help the government resist?
I was getting at making the point that Republicans don’t leave because they’re not threatened. But I also get the emotions and fervor. I’m with you. I feel it and I wouldn’t take it away. It might be the only useful tool we’ve got
To be fair, the Dems don’t have candidates to threaten or promise murder for the other party.
Oh ok…

You might not want trump to be your boss, but again:
If only trump sycophants work in the US government, he’ll break a lot more shit
Did you reply to the wrong comment by chance? Or am I getting a shellacking for my laziness?
Yeah, kind of went on a rant there…
I think I took your comment as rationale for Dems who resign from the federal workforce in “protest”.
But now I’m thinking you meant that’s why Republicans don’t.
If that was the case, then yeah I misunderstood and my comment would seem like it came out of nowhere.
