I find your viewpoint shortsighted and praising authoritarianism.
Although I personally voted against him, I believe Donald Trump was elected by the American voters and those American voters have a right to have their policy preferences implemented by the person they’ve elected to do so. If any person with integrity can not carry out their democratically elected leaders orders to the best of their ability, the only recourse they have is to resign and give a full accounting of why they can’t to the American people, if they feel so strongly about it.
What I’ll NEVER support is a secret, unaccountable cabal of plotters who have decided their opinions are more important than American democracy and rule the country according to their personal whims.
To be perfectly blunt, I don’t see what the difference is between that op-ed writers actions and a coup.
