A completely serious question.
When people, and businesses, and institutions with the resources and reputation to stand firm…don’t, where does that leave this country.

That's a good rule for normal times.
We've never taught these leaders, or many Americans, how to recognize an authoritarian takeover and that they should use their organizational power to fight one.
People with those resources have decided to wait out a lame duck POTUS, as they have concluded any consequences that will directly impact them can be navigated with minimal cost.

After all, that's what a democracy fundamentally is: people power.
Forget business & institutions. Many will join you once they see the tides change. But they won't drive the change.
Resist and fight like fucking hell. ✊
The final barrier to make us disconnected from the world we once knew.
and we've always wondered how the German people could just accept Hitler. Now we know.
We are the bad guys, now.
There is a belief that it will stop before it gets too bad for such people. The new reality hasn’t really set in yet

Authoritarian Oligarchy.
We are ruled by the Heritage Foundation and project 2025 is our reality.
Start with your backyard Kai, get NPR to fix it's reporting.
Regular people need to show up at protests. We need to be loud and PUBLIC. Otherwise everyone starts thinking no one else cares.
Showing up makes a difference.

This is the beginning of the end.
Maybe it's just as well.
The professionals who work there should be urged to find other work. And those who don't leave should be considered pariahs.
We are all going to have to choose sides. Don't do business with the collaborators.
We are going to be surprised who stands up and who folds. I’m with the people who stand up.
i do plan on standing up, but i also plan on doing some prison time for protesting.
this is how it will end for those that speak out.
make a choice now what you will do when faced with prison for it is coming if you stand against the regime
sad reality
What happened to the meaning of "in God we trust"?
Playground bullies keep at it until the picked upon get together. It’s time for all to stop cowering in the bushes.
Same for tariffs btw.
Awesome and important speeches by AOC and Bernie Sanders today in Las Vegas!

Cheaper for them to acquiesce is all.
they are teaching power what it can get away with. irresponsible, weak and fundamentally counter to any semblance of civic values.
Left message asking were they the firm
bribing Trump to get him off their back.
And if so, they should be ashamed of themselves.
As a powerful & wealthy org. they have a duty
to stand up to bullies like Trump

And right now it seems we are at the beginning of a Fascist-Enabling-25 pandemic.
We are unprincipled and amoral.
Example: Bezos works for trump now, as does Zuckerberg.
so much for the home of the brave.
