Recant or Resign [1]

Let's say we've won the fight against Trump. We may have. Either way, it is time to plan for the future. We have energy to fight spiritually and culturally. We have the opportunity to save and revitalize the world.
Let the perspectives of the people who have practical experience organizing for democracy speak first and loudest. We need a discussion of options for our onward demands and goals to shape the activism we are doing now. "No Kings" is a good first goal, but we need something to ask for second. We need the general public on “both sides” to know and to start accomplishing it. If I'm crazy, please tell me in the comments.
I'm not one of those whose voice should be loudest, but I think the next demand should be "Trump must Resign". And every official who supported him must either recant or resign. My next sign might be "Recant or Resign" and in smaller letters "You know who you are". (Is that a bad thing to say?)
When enough GOP officials repudiate Trump, he will have to go. When a big enough handful is shown consistently to reject Trump and his most unpopular policies, the rest will follow. That seems workable to me.
Once sane Executive and Legislative branches are restored, the five corrupt Supreme Court Justices can either be impeached/removed or persuaded to "Recant or Resign". But we can’t really just let them recant, because their corruption needs to put them in jail.
Even if we have much longer than I anticipate before Trump is forced to step down, these demands work.
