   When Trump was elected, I read Thomas Snyder's On Tyranny: he said DO NOT SURRENDER TO THE TYRANT IN ADVANCE.

   I thought, "Well, yes, of course. RESIST."

   Then I watched, horrified, as people rushed to surrender to the tyrant in advance.

   No

   Tyrants are ALWAYS less powerful than they seem & rely on people rushing to surrender. You'll always have boot-lickers, but the folks who RESIST have the most power. Cuz they refuse to give up the power they have.

   That changes everything.
