If
you're a decent human being, there is no possibility of compromise with
this administration. Everything this administration does will be an act
of conservative revenge against real or perceived enemies, foreign and
domestic. If you're a Democrat, that very much includes you.
If you're a Democratic senator in a red state, it won't help you to try
to cover your ass with a few pro-Trump votes -- the Trumpers and the
rest of the GOP are gunning for you whatever you do. And if you're a
blue-state Democrat, I don't want to hear about
"promises"
you may have heard from this or that appointee. This administration is
beyond the pale, and it's just going to get worse. The only principled
stand is a constant reminder to the public that all this is
unacceptable, accompanied by as much resistance as you can manage.
Reject the notion that it's possible to make a reasonable accommodation
with these people. It isn't. It's now obvious that the only reasonable
response to these people is no, every time. At the very least, you need
to vote agaiunst every Trump appointee from now on. History will judge
you on the basis of how much you collaborated.
