Republicans. Two Options: Do your duty or resign. [View all]

[Rilgin]

In the news and discussion is republicans excusing their members who did not act to quell the lies about the election or Trump generally as a fear of retribution including physical harm to their families.

We can all understand the pressure on such republicans since it was coming from their own party. However, in response to the perceived threats, there are only 2 choices, not 3 choices. If they were too scared to do their duty and fight the lies coming from the leadership of their party and Trump, then the only option was to resign. They can not use threats to justify doing nothing to quell the lies.
