"This is why the resistance to every authoritarian regime on Earth focuses on the corruption and self-dealing of the so-called strong man and his cronies.

They make sure THEY get very very rich, and everyone else just has to make do.

The one thing they are serving up is repression."

The thuggish ICE dudes with their noses sticking out of masks always remind me of Yubaba from Spirited Away.
