  It's trendy on the left, including among leaders, to resign, to talk about being powerlessness and afraid, etc. Today's NY Times had an article interviewing pro-Palestinian protestors mostly saying it. What a bunch of losers. And who would support them? Who is going to advocate for people who won't advocate for themselves? Have you ever heard a leader talk like that? Is that what they remember Churchill saying, standing alone against the Germans? MLK facing the overwhelming racist power structure, law enforcement, etc.? Washington at Valley Forge - 'to my soldiers, I feel really hopeless. The Brits are the most powerful military in the world and we're just a ragtag, irregular local force. There's nothing we can do. I'm going to resign, cross the Delaware, and return to my farm to wait out the war with my family.'
