    For a politician to openly say he doesn’t give a shit is a very dangerous sign.

    An elected official speaking like this to the public means they’ve completely lost their fear of repercussions. They’ve lost their fear of public backlash, of public perception. They’ve lost their fear of being voted out.

    It means that in his mind there’s nothing to fear. He thinks he’s untouchable. He’s above you and everything you think and do. He’s your ruler and you’re his subject.

    It means he’s no longer afraid of you having a democracy.
