The risks of resistance are noted. However in a system where electoral politics have largely been rendered moot; failure to resist guarantees us an Oliver Cromwell, Maxmilian Robespierre, Vladimir Ilyich Ulyanov and/or Che Guevara. And somewhere, there is always a Lavrenti Beria or a Reinhard Heydrich awaiting the summons.

We are now in a world where the only calculation to be made is between rocks and hard
places. There are no good options. The only sane course of action is the least worst option.
