Line 469:
* Being [[That Guy With The Glasses|who he is]], Doug Walker quit his hated day job [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D9uFooSFACA in style].
* A [[Tear Jerker|sadder]] example would be the people who defect from the Westboro Baptist Church. According to ''[[wikipedia:America's Most Hated Family in Crisis|America's Most Hated Family in Crisis]]'', more of the younger family members than ever have been leaving to live their own lives. [http://www.rslevinson.com/gaylesissues/features/collect/phelps/bl_phelpschapter08.htm Nate Phelps] described in detail how he and his older brother Mark escaped the family.
** This is also the most common tactic of the WBC when they find themselves outnumbered by counter-protestors. Many times, negative publicity regarding their announced protests has caused them to abort the plan entirely.
* In the months following [[Donald Trump]]'s election as president of the United States, numerous government officials resigned or were fired. Some were fed up with Trump's incompetence, some quit because of his controversial views of culture, ethnicity, gender and sex, some quit because he's not taking his duties as seriously as he should be, and some were just sick and tired of his immaturity and tenancy to blame others for his faults.
** This kicked up something fierce after the White Nationalist demonstrations in Charlottesville that ended with the death of counter-protestor Heather Heyer. Trump's response saying "there were fine people on both sides" felt like he was placating racial violence, and follow-up comments afterward did nothing to dissuade that notion. In the following week there were mass resignations from his Business Advisory Council, the White House Arts Committee, and his Evangelical Advisory Board. This was all punctuated by the resignation of Chief Strategist Steve Bannon, who had helped Trump's election campaign succeed in the first place. With impeachment proceedings about to begin (as of December 2019), it remains to be seen who will still stay at Trump's side.
