8. If too afraid to serve should they resign?

What are the options.

Many citizens who stand up to Trump and MAGA get death threats. Many administrators who stood up to Trump in his first administration have and had gotten death threats. Judges and their family members have received threats.

Are some of these scared Republicans not resigning because they hope to secretly prevent some Trump horrors from happening?

I suspect it is time for some of these frightened to just resign, let the Democrats take over the House, and let us move on to the next stage in the War against Democracy and America.
