$* Matt Gaetz, a Trump nominee, withdrew his name from consideration for Attorney General due to an ongoing Ethics Committee investigation into alleged sex crimes. * The investigation revealed reports of drug-fueled sex parties and witnesses who testified about Gaetz's interactions with an underage girl. * The leak of these details led to Gaetz's withdrawal, showing that resistance to Trump's agenda is not futile. * Trump's nominations are causing fractures within the Republican coalition, which can be exploited to weaken him. * The author argues that authoritarians like Trump struggle to hold a coalition together and are weakened by their own chaos and wickedness. * The "resistance" can use these fractures and Trump's own weaknesses to their advantage, even if it's a long-term effort. * #ResistanceIsNotFutile * #MAGAChaos * #GaetzWithdraws * #TrumpNominees * #RepublicanFractures * #AuthoritarianWeaknesses * #LongTermResistance https://www.salon.com/2024/11/22/resistance-is-not-futile-matt-gaetzs-implosion-shows-how-magas-chaos-can-be-turned-against/$
