Yeah. There have been people who are deciding inside federal agencies how to react to some things that Trump has done, and in the discussion they talked about the crowds of people outside their buildings yelling about it. It gives them backing, it gives them confidence that they're not alone if they decide to stick their necks out. And yes, as things get worse and worse (which, absolutely, you can be assured that they will), they can evolve into something more and more resistive.
It's not enough, yet. But it's definitely a good thing. If anything I was saying made it sound like it's bad, I do not think that at all.
Oh no, sorry, I didn't mean that in any way negative. I wanted to add some reassurance and to add to your point about the protests. You're all good :)
