    Sacrificing your values to win is no true victory.

    Holding on to your values without compromise and losing is no true victory either. In fact, it’s true defeat.

    Is a tainted victory better than a complete loss? I’d argue it is, especially in this case where a loss might mean permanent damage to the institutions of the country by a fascist.

    Maybe you’d prefer to hold your head up high while you’re being trucked off to a re-education camp. I just don’t want re-education camps to exist.
