> I think there's value of having good people there when the trump administration is gone.

I'm not sure about the assumption that there is "when Y is gone", it isn't fully clear. One of the campaign promises from the group that won was that people won't have to vote in the future. Not sure if that's actually feasible or not, but that it was brought up should at least be considered.

But yeah, I hear and agree somewhat with your point otherwise, there might be value in people resisting in small ways (delays, confusion and so on, basically the CIA playbook for corporate sabotage) rather than in big ways of just saying "No" until you get fired.
