UPDATE: Boasberg orders the parties to submit plans for the "inquiry regarding a potential contempt referral," by tomorrow, "including names of possible witnesses and dates for hearings." (ACLU's Lee Gelernt smartly suggested waiting on the mandate from the DC Circuit before issuing any orders.)

And, that's how fascism works. Authoritarians take away our belief in the good. They thrive on cynicism and distrust. Trump is a super-spreader of polarization, cynicism, and distrust. He forces us all to choose either we love him or hate him. There's no neutral. And he eats our souls.

Trump tries to corrupt us all. He wants to wear us down. He wants to bring us into his silent circle of assent, into his loyalty. He's relentless and it's so much easier to just give in. He tries to corrupt us, but in so doing he gives each of us a hero narrative.

We don't get enough opportunities to live out our values--everyday things like returning a lost wallet/phone, helping someone in distress, letting someone go ahead of you in line--seem less than heroic (though they're amazing things!). Resisting Trump is heroic, Herculean, even.

Orwell taught us in 1984 that resistance is an act of free will: “When finally you surrender to us, it must be of your own free will. We do not destroy the heretic because he resists us; so long as he resists us we never destroy him. We convert him, we capture his inner mind, we reshape him.”
