Authoritarian politicians are drunk on power they've only dreamed of before. They won't give it up easily.

  I fear particularly for a subset of countries for whom this could easily be an opportunity for highly punative destruction of rights that has been forming in the background already. South Africa for example.

    It's not even a subset of countries. It's all countries, the US included. We're being conditioned to roll over on rights that we've fought hard for over 244 years.

      Indeed. But in SA this could result in the government stealing your property. Literally.
