But what I hope happens is that you learn a completely different lesson.
There is no safe ground. So you might as well stand and fight while you can.
Because fascist regimes eventually come for us all. They can not be appeased.

Republicans want Democratic cover to keep breaking the law. Democrats won’t play along.

Voters punish representatives more for voting lock-step with their party than extreme ideology. The winning Democratic message is to bind Republicans to Trump
If you look closely, you can see signs of GOP lawmakers fearing the long-term political consequences of paying more attention to Trump's demands than to the voices of their own constituents - or consciences.

NGL, I'm alarmed by the prospect of US Navy officers applauding the extra-judicial execution of "terrorists" (along with other parts of Trump's speech). We're watching the real-time politicization of the US military
Trump: "In recent weeks the Navy has supported our mission to blow the cartel terrorists the hell out of the water. You see that. And you know, there are no boats in the water anymore. We can't find any ... what we're doing is actually an act of kindness."
