Lemme tell you a little story about choices (thread).
Once upon a time, my husband @jimmycamp1 was a well-known GOP operative in California. So way back in 2016, Jimmy got the call from the Trump campaign offering him the job to run the state for them. Now understand 1/ https://twitter.com/anitakumar01/status/1347408761145667584

they dangled a lot of $$. Money that would have made our lives MUCH easier. But Jimmy told them no. He told me, "If I worked for that man I couldn't look you or the kids in the eye. Plus, that f@Rker never pays his bills. So not only would I not have my integrity, we'd be... 2/
screwed financially." Then when Trump became the nominee for Jimmy's party, Jimmy--keep in mind this is a lifelong then-Republican, who'd run campaigns for Orrin Hatch and work for Bush and was a Schwarzenegger appointee etc. -- changed his voter registration and 3/
went public with his concerns over the nominee. (See the article below for one example.) It was a deep, dark night of the soul for the man I love.

Meanwhile, he lost pretty much all his business. Was blacklisted. Career gutted. But we managed. He had his self-respect. He had (has) my respect. He had the kids' admiration. He had made the CHOICE to lose his income, and his lifelong career, because he 5/
was sure, Jimmy KNEW, that Donald Trump would be a destructive force in America, make a mockery of our basic principles and everything he'd believed in. (And Jimmy barely got out of high school y'all, so no Yale or Harvard.) SO, when these 6/ https://www.ocweekly.com/hardball-california-republican-strategist-jimmy-camp-takes-on-the-president/
people in the administration are suddenly SHOCKED at what has transpired and spontaneously grow a spine, forgive me if I retch. THEY MADE THE CHOICE, LONG AGO, TO BE COMPLICIT, TO ENABLE, TO CASH IN.
(Whew. Got that off my chest.)
