Thank you for posting those related articles because if just had to go off the OP alone I would have no earthly idea which terrifying dystopian move was being discussed
How do all these resignations not just completely help this administration do whatever the hell they want? If everyone that disagrees with them just resigns, the only people left will just be a bunch of ring kissers. Are they just depending on the bad publicity from so many resignations to do the work instead? Is there something I'm missing?
To some degree, it slows them down. The top layer of management that has day to day authority for things like approving accounts for system access, having signing authority for anything, knowing how to find the things they want to kill, etc.
Appointees can often legally do these things as well, but for many things involving money, it takes extra steps that appointees don't usually do to avoid liability.
Liability is the key here.
If someone carries out an illegal order, then they are subject to the consequences. The Nazis didn't have to commit human rights violations - they "followed illegal orders" which was not a valid defense. The consequences may have been forced resignation or execution, but if you carried out the human rights abuse to avoid execution, fat lot of good it did since they ended up executed anyway.
This is pretty wild
If by wild, you mean horrifying?
Yes.
