Malicious Compliance is the First Wave of Fed Anti-Trump Resistance
Front Page Magazine ^ | January 27, 2025 | Daniel Greenfield

Posted on 01/27/2025 5:15:17 PM PST by E. Pluribus Unum

Trump is getting more of a honeymoon in Term 2 than in Term 1, and while part of it is due to the shock of the 2024 win, a lot of it has become tactics. The first stage of the plan is to infiltrate his decision-making loop and to make his various policies backfire.

That’s why it’s helpful to understand what malicious compliance is.

The last ‘resistance’ movement among federal employees focused on more direct sabotage, at least initially this time they’re using malicious compliance, that is to say they’re implementing executive orders in the most destructive fashion. And then of course leaking the results to the media. These manufactured scandals consist of federal employees ‘following orders’ with a view to causing problems and then reporting the problems they caused as if they were actually the result of the executive orders rather than their own actions.

The developing media narratives over the course of the next weeks and perhaps months will focus heavily on this, blaming the Trump administration for what is really the malicious compliance of federal employees.

The feds will break things, including the things they care about, in order to blame Trump.

It isn’t even malicious compliance, it’s obtuse stupidity.

Dishonorably discharge whom ever in the AF authorized this

Take a few heads, figuratively, the rest of the rats will get the message pretty quickly

Watch them like a hawk, make lists, and fire anybody that decides to get cute about following orders.

ah yes, the rebuild into a socialist / communist utopia

the cloward Piven political strategy

The Cloward-Piven strategy is a political gambit in which a bureaucratic system is overwhelmed to the point of collapse, thus forcing fundamental change. This idea was first proposed by Columbia sociologists Richard Andrew Cloward and Frances Fox Piven

I think that’s the goal of all Marxists. Power is their god.

Leaking non classified information is illegal or against employment rules or policies. Anyone with credible accusation of a leak needs to be put on leave and investigated and if enough evidence fired, investigated, charged. Then media reporting the leak should be asked to identify the leaker and if not, that media will not have any access to president or press briefings until the beaker is identified and fired.

That too.
It is UCMJ as well.
There’s likely more to come from this.

Thing about revolutions...

Robspierre had no idea that a Corsican Artillery Lieutenant would take his egalitarian brotherhood into an empire.

Once things get broken enough, the folks that actually have their s-—t together end up on top after wild eyed boys & girls have their fun. Basic history.
