You don’t get to take away power from voters and give it to civil servants by waving your hands about the Holocaust. Yes, there is a line when a civil servant has to decline to follow orders. But the line is way over there. Obama blew up plenty of Muslim weddings and I think that the UAV operator was correct to follow those orders.
Look at the Blusky group linked here. What holocaust is the national park service “Resistance Team” preventing? You’re invoking the Holocaust to justify defying the duly elected president’s policy choices on legitimate political issues: the environment, immigration, etc.
And Trump won the popular vote.

- rayiner 2y agoI’m literally quoting from the top article. And name-calling is rich when I’m defending the right of the winners of elections to do what they promised the public to do. As much as you hate the public and think you know better, this is a democracy and they’re in charge. Meanwhile you’re defending the prerogative of unelected career bureaucrats to veto what the public wants. Sorry, you’re the bad guy. The federal “Resistance” workers are the bad guys.

The federal “Resistance” workers are the bad guys. No, the person advocating for a purge of employees in favor of regime-loyal employees using deranged claims of a resistance movement is the bad person. This is not hard.
