It seems like many fascism supporters are about to find out how "There is one lord of the ring and he does not share power". It was never about any of the longstanding gripes or appeals to ideals - merely the lust for power and a siren song of telling people easy answers they want to hear. I say this as someone for whom Trump visited many things I care about in 2016 - I was the weirdo telling my aghast blue tribe friends that he had a good shot at winning. (I stated this in this direction, as opposed to the customary direction of "I agreed with Trump", because the latter is essentially undefined , as he constantly stakes out contradictory policy positions, often even in the same sentence) (and to be clear, I of course wasn't foolish enough to vote for the guy. I don't even believe the hopium-lies of regular politicians, never mind someone who has the con artistry cranked up to 11)

Resigning from position of power doesnt help anyone when you can stay there and fuck with the programme. Check out Paddy Ashdown's Nein. Shows how its done.
