The sense is they're saying "I got mine, the rest of you just have to deal with it."
For the rest of us, we don't have to take this shit. They're people, just like us. They have to go out in public from time to time, so we have to follow them around and make them feel uncomfortable.

No question here about who is in charge and how each party feels. Putin is clearly frightened.

As if Russia *wasn't* gambling with WWIII by invading in the first fucking place?

What plan do you have for vote suppression? E.g., roll purges, caging, and mass vigilante ballot challenges?
