I’m keeping my own shit list, because I anticipate a lot of hand wringing and ghost-written sob stories from leaders and elites describing their inner turmoil and why they had no choice but to kiss the ring in this era of open fascism in the US.

And I’ve already committed to hear them out and be even-handed. Some of our most inspirational stories are of covert resistance and sabotage by elites in fascist regimes risking it all. But I suspect most are simply cowards at best and collaborative ghouls at worst.

Either way, taking their public actions at face value is the correct choice for the time being.
