This is a compact strategic thesis line because it turns resistance to Trump into a repeatable doctrine rather than a one-off act of defiance. It asks readers to judge whether refusing to yield is genuinely the winning play or just satisfying rhetoric.

Editor's note

The line works because it compresses a sprawling anti-Trump argument into a simple and highly contestable rule of political combat.
