Not with that attitude they can’t. Let’s see what happens to the first person to call his bull shit. If jpow folds or is actually indicted, you may be right. Let’s see what happens with Exxon though i think they’re gonna bend the knee.

Well, ICE just executed a woman in broad daylight with multiple cameras filming, and a day later you got Kristi Noem standing on a podium with a slogan referencing to an OG Nazi massacre [1][2] and half the US government gaslighting the country, spreading outright lies [3] without consequences so far.
When they can get away with this level of lies, they can get away with anything. Trump's infamous "I Could ... Shoot Somebody, And I Wouldn't Lose Any Voters" quote [4] wasn't a joke - it was a clear prediction of what he intended to enable eventually.

Why would you not bend the key ? There's a reasonnable chance Trump is gone in less than 3 years and MAGA tears itself apart. Better bet on that than try to make a stand now and lose everything.
