We can't operate in what should be when we have a convicted at the top and every Republican supports him. Tell me what that says about who she is surrounded by? Let me be clear, I've been there - hunted down, stalked, it's scary. Neither of us knows what would happen to her if she took that kind of stand. Republicans who have stood up, got death threats. Adam Kinzinger comes to mind. It is always easy to look at others and say what they should do, but that's them and perhaps their life on the line. It is that personal.
I have found out who I am in moments of pressure. I worked in a field (aerospace) where people's lives were on the line and when it came to doing what was right, I chose to do what was right and I lost. I had no idea who I was until I was faced with that option.
We now live in an unapologetic patriarchy. The cost is always financial for women. That said, now, it is literally physically dangerous to exist in certain states. Compound that with male dominated work spaces. Things can be said. Threats can be made. With no accountability. Just like with our president.
The burden is higher - or should be- for our elected officials who swear an oath.
