Is criticizing someone who plans to jail his political opponent also suppressing him too? Why should we suppose there is any other agenda than what he says it

Is criticizing someone who plans to jail his political opponent also suppressing him too? Why should we suppose there is any other agenda than what he says it is? >he represents a group of people who haven't been represented for the last 40 years He _appeals_ to that group but what he has said does not indicate any serious intention to benefit it. An utter disinterest in the details of how to bring it about such a benefit and a near total focus on blame shifting to vulnerable groups and conspiracy theories makes it painfully clear this is merely a self interested demagogue. This is very deeply regrettable because the group he appeals to does in fact need help. But as has happened repeatedly historical, they have instead been lured in by an aggressively anti-democracy demagogue.
