I suppose it's a tiny step up from fawning over the emerging dictator in his White House boardroom, but very tiny, as you cogently express. I think most of them know the answers to your questions; they are simply shaking with fear of the personal consequences, oblivious to the collective power they really have.

I wrote not long ago about what Resistance *should* look like now. I think it's still timely.

Thank you for this. As always, the path to courage that's easiest and most productive is collective courage. On your point on military allegiance, it was a small, good thing to see some video from MN with state guard handing out coffee to protestors and seeming very "minnesota nice". Not sure what happens if Walz asks them to stop ICE.
