    You’re not entirely wrong, but there are people here who have had us marines pointing rifles at them in the past 6 months, and thought seriously about ‘how do I defend my home from them’ with the expectation they’ll be back in summer. Have thought daily about fighting the municipal paramilitaries for their entire adult lives, have woken up in tents to the sound of their dogs and had to run. Just not enough of them.

    Like, it’s not a democracy over here.

      Well, yes. I agree. But “it’s not a Rule of Law country anymore, we are oppressed and dont know what to do” is a very different sentiment than “system is wotming, I can only complain that people always vote on bad guys somehow”. I sypathise with the first one. I can’t stand 2nd one any more.
