It would be a whole lot smarter and a better use of their time if they looked for jobs, right?

Some of the democracy-building experts President Donald Trump fired this year from the U.S. Agency for International Development and the State Department are now reapplying the skills and knowledge they built up over decades to undermine Trump’s power.
For years, these officials were stationed across the globe actively supporting opposition movements in autocratic nations. Now they’ve got time, a network of former colleagues and a growing sense of moral indignation.
“Take it from those of us who worked in authoritarian countries: We’ve become one,” said a currently employed federal official, who spoke to NOTUS on condition of anonymity. “They were so quick to disband AID, the group that supposedly instigates color revolutions. But they’ve done a very foolish thing. You just released a bunch of well-trained individuals into your population. If you kept our offices going and had us play solitaire in the office, it might have been safer to keep your regime.”
The former officials tell NOTUS they’re holding workshops on a tactic called “noncooperation.” They’re building a network of government workers willing to engage in even minor acts of rebellion in the office. And they’re planting the seeds of what they hope could become a nationwide general strike.
Oh, good, more workers Trump can fire. And the Supreme Court just ruled that the Trump admin, can, in fact, fire and reorganize federal Executive Branch agencies. They should start working on their resumes.
“Widespread practice of simple sabotage will harass and demoralize enemy administrators and police,” it says. “The saboteur may have to reverse his thinking… where he formerly thought of keeping his tools sharp, he should now let them grow dull; surfaces that formerly were lubricated now should be sanded; normally diligent, he should now be lazy and careless.”
Hmm, looking to be prosecuted, too!
“Getting people to understand that it’s part of a process is the training,” she told NOTUS. “It feels silly. ‘Why are we going to get ice cream?’ You’re building up that muscle and that bravery, and you’re building up your numbers. Today it starts with four, but tomorrow it’s 10. We’re helping them understand that is the organizing, and that is the process to get to a massive strike.”
Without skipping a beat, several pointed to “Star Wars” and said the show “Andor” is nothing short of a manual.
“Fascism is not creative,” said one former government expert in conflict. “There’s only so many ways to do it. That’s why it’s almost cliché to the point where we ask, ‘What are we, Darth Vader? The Empire? The Nazis?’ The comparisons draw ridicule because people who don’t know enough about it don’t realize there aren’t too many ways to do it. So, the tactics to counter them will still work, and there’s way more ways to be creative.”
These are very silly people. Ice cream breaks and Star Wars watch parties.
But don’t you dare call it the “deep state.”
And then along came Donnie… without thinking:
Mr Dana, our resident fascist from Fayette, will say it’s a tragedy, but that fewer black children living in Mr trump’s so-called shithole countries is ACTUALLY GOOD for the Earth.
