I would suspect that you have a problem understanding nuance. For instance, there are a lot of people who think you’re out to lunch on Palin who are not part of the “Kool Aid” crowd, the cultist. You seem to think everyone is HG or BD or a Palin cultist. These nuanced differences are a bridge too far for some folks.
You also seem to have a problem with exceptions to the rule, for example, you apparently think that resigning office under any circumstances falls under the kindergarten or middle school yard “quitter” charge. In some cases it would, but in Palin’s case, her decision has proven fabulously correct on all counts. That is, all counts but the kangeroo court of hgunner and big dad.
Gov Palin gave up her Governorship because she had accomplished all her promises and did not want to be a lame duck drain on the nation — PDs’ers will never understand this
