Nah, James Damore just did a stupid thing at work and wasn't talented enough for it to be overlooked. He deserved to be fired. Morals don't need to come into it. They lost their moral compass a while ago, but it had nothing to do

On the contrary this is exactly what they said they'd do if elected. This is exactly what was voted for. Don't pretend like Americans didn't have agency in the destruction of their own country.

I think it's primarily the "how" that people are resisting. I'm not sure why that's being dismissed.

I don't think that's a bug. I think that helps us separate truth from fiction as we navigate the transition to this new world.
