Of course, he never will, because he knows he’ll go to jail when he does. (Individual-1)

But we can fan the flames of outrage against him and shame him. Because he’ll never go, that shame can become a heavy weight around his neck.

As I understand it, they feel a lot of shame (as well they should because they are horrible people), but they can’t stand the feeling of shame, so they build a defense mechanism that immediately converts shame into anger. They’re nearly always angry, and that anger expresses itself in vicious, aggressive, bullying, and just flat-out mean behavior. That’s the core of the psyche of a malignant narcissist, I think.

we just need to make his supporters ashamed of voting for such an incompetent murderer, and maybe they won’t show up.

Public shaming will energize our side and depress theirs, regardless of how Trump reacts. By repeating “Resign!” we show that we are angry with good reason. We can peel a few Republicans of conscience away, assuming there are any left.

No losing the election
No trials
No prison time
No further public humiliation

If this were Japan, Trump would have already resigned. If he had any honor, he would have already committed seppuku.

No Japanese leader would ever say “I take no responsibility” for 190,000 deaths.
