Kelly, Tillerson, Haley, "anonymous" etc are NOT heroes, they're ENABLERS

I see all kinds of discussion on the TV that "Anonymous" claims to have saved us from the worst of tRump's stupidity. Also, people saying that "Anonymous" should have spoken up at the time and resigned.

What I have not seen anyone say, at least yet, is that "Anonymous", by apparently staying in the administration, may have reigned in MF45 just enough to keep him in office. They normalized him just enough to keep him there, by no means did they stop him from trashing the constitution, democracy, and the country.

As I see it, they're complicit enablers, even worse than MF45 because they in fact do understand what is being done.

liked for the most part, and they still thought they could control him enough to prevent him from going too far.

I have to think that, if this is legitimate, that person must have and continues to walk along those corridors with so much fear and paranoia of getting caught. I do think it takes a lot of courage.

Does anyone really think that had anonymous quit their positions in the administration that they had not been replaced by someone worst? At least this person had a good intention, which is to warn everyone about the creature. Anonymous would have been replaced by another Mulvaney, would that have been a better choice? What would resigning do we really think would have accomplished? Those who have resigned have been forgotten already, and most of them have not talked, and when some of them have it has been so shy and fearful that it has made their contribution useless.

I am glad anonymous stayed and has written a book for all to see, my hope is that it will change some stubborn minds who still support the creature and bring them to the other side. If his/her book manages to change 10 to 15% of those who still support it then we must applaud the person and the book. My hope is also that when the creature is out that anonymous will show his/her face and tell us more, name names of those who were the real enablers and the masterminds of this chaos, such as Stephen Miller.
