I'm saying it now; they won't. I can lay out my reasoning, but they just won't. Any resistance will have to come from You the People and be led by You the People.
I'm sure they're also aware of the risk of forming an actual resistance.
An armed resistance can't form with such prominent figures. The GOP would see to that.
Additionally, it would fundamentally break OPSEC of who is organizing it. Public figures are easy targets for the FBI.
Suspend everything you know for a moment and pretend that Waltz was actually a member of the resistance. He's the one that pulled the journalist into the Signal group. In this pretend world, he did it so that he could show how bad the administration is at their own OPSEC. He would have to then maintain the cover of being a good right-wing nut job less he be found out.
Ok we can turn back to reality now, because we all know if that were true, Waltz would be dead. But my point is, a good resistance is quiet until actions are taken. But to build a resistance, you also need people who can get connected, in big cities, and know that there are other like minded people. Would be a real shame if like, 34,000 people turned up to one of these protests and started talking about things that they can do together to fight back.
