    I need to get my skills up to snuff and get a new job… the idea that I will technically be working for that failure of a human being is nauseating. I refuse to be complicit.

    There’s nowhere to even fucking go, half the rest of the planet is going the same direction or is otherwise semi reliant on the US

      On the other hand, if all the good people give up the fight and leave it to project 2025 to find their replacement the public as a whole will be in even greater danger.

      Obviously it’s not fair to expect you to put yourself in danger for everyone else, but it might just be worth considering of forms of resistance.

        I’m in a hard red state, working for a branch of government that already leans fairly red (DoD). Not even being hard on myself, I am a dime a dozen IT technician that coasted into my current position. Frankly, I think I’ve wanted out for a while now, there’s just nowhere else to work in the area.

          That’s unfortunate but I understand, I just didn’t want the thought of working for him to be the only reason. Be safe.
