    In a just world, they should feel that capitulating to Trump’s agenda would be actual suicide.

      Sadly, it might actually be heading in the exact opposite direction. If they don’t capitulate to him, it may soon be more dangerous than just losing their career.

          You have way more confidence in the American electorate’s memory than recent history would suggest to anyone. After all Krasnov was re-elected.
