What Would Happen If Every "Resistor" Did What They Did Yesterday in the PNW? [View all]
Jack Hopkins blog.
A GREAT READ
https://www.jackhopkinsnow.com/
Kristi Noem, now Homeland Security Secretary …wanted to “inform” travelers why flights were delayed and TSA agents unpaid ... a partisan ad in disguise, blaming Democrats for the shutdown.
Airport authorities from Seattle to Los Angeles quietly refused.They cited policy…the Hatch Act
They didn’t form a committee or hold a press conference. They simply said, “No.”
The Power of NO
Authoritarians rise on obedience…not genius. Their systems depend on millions of small yesses…clerks stamping papers…officers enforcing bad orders…managers looking the other way. Break that chain once and the illusion of inevitability cracks.
