People who hold high public office should be expected to make personal sacrifices to uphold the law and civic virtue both as the act themselves and to signal to others what is acceptable and what is not

It’s hysterical watching people act as apologists to Wray when every woman in existence who engages with people on social media regularly deals with threats to their existence. The only difference is that Wray chose that life and had 38,000 FBI agents at his disposal.
Any elected official who cannot uphold their duty to protect the interests of their constituents; is derelict of their duty, and not fit to hold office.
Norms and civic values are *social* in nature, the main enforcement mechanism is elite coordination and that is primary done through social signaling. Capitulation begets capitulation, resolve begets resolve
The first elected official to get arrested for doing something transparently legal but opposed by the regime should be (and hopefully will be) held up as a hero and a leader.
Conservatives have successfully redefined being self-appointed strong moral champions into advocacy that the lowest demonic-inspired standards possible are too high & exceeding those abysmal standards is an act against all they value, those low standards are high aspirations. Or else.

It is ultimately the responsibility of the people "in the land of the free and home of the brave" to get off their fucking asses and take action.
Time to primary out all the peacetime Democrats.
