As with many people, it isn’t just about me. I am not willing to move my family and my elderly parent onto the streets at this stage.
The government could have taken all my assets at any point in the last 50 years if they wanted. We all have to deal with the current reality. I think we are still at a stage where protesting and voting may be enough to turn things around. Meanwhile, I am supporting local efforts to protect vulnerable people from the new policies. There is organized resistance and it is scaling up.
I disagree with you outside of extreme circumstance, the government wasn’t coming for your anything, except maybe your vote. Now, if you show dessent, if you’re the wrong skin colour, if you’re the wrong political party, he wants your stuff, and you in jail or out of the country. By word and action. And do you think he’s lining the government coffers or his own with all that booty? Corruption all the way down. Seized as proceeds of made up crime, who’s gonna stop them?
