not sure i can stay and support hatred

The “Defending Women” Executive Order came up at work and i’m not certain I can stick it out through this administration.

I am a Quaker. We believe all people possess the inner light of God. The equality of all people is one of our core testimonies.

This EO was written with such terrible venom and hatred. I do not think I have yet reached the point where I must say “no” to orders but I fear that moment may be coming.

EDIT: I understand the harm-reduction argument, that I should stay and fight the good fight from the inside but as a practical matter I don’t really think that works. I can make arguments but nobody has to listen. Also, I think people overestimate our ability to reduce harm when the real choices are being made so far above us in the chain of command.
