Quitting is their ideal outcome. If they fire someone then the question becomes “Why?” and in some cases they open themselves up to a lawsuit because the former employee now has standing. They don’t want to go on record in court or put themselves in a position to lie under oath. The Law is their biggest enemy and with every single act of malfeasance their quiet assertion is, “nobody is stopping us so it must be okay.”
That I understand and is also why I want these people to actually make Trump take an action that is legally challengeable in court. Although Trump is already defying court orders so I don’t know how much will come of it, but I figure if we keep seeing the pile of tangible illegal actions that courts are going on record to state they are illegal then maybe we’ll get enough sway back away from the far right.
