    They’re rich and won’t see hardship.

    LOL, they need to study their history 'cause, with dictatorships, that’s often true until it suddenly isn’t. For example, remember that time when Mao sent all the “elites” to go work on the farms, or that other time when Pol Pot killed all the “intellectuals” (read: anybody who so much as wore glasses)? Hell, even if you’re the dictator’s ally you’re not really safe. Plenty of Putin’s buddies can testify to that – oh wait, no they can’t because their bodies are splattered on the ground after being defenestrated.

    If there’s any sliver of a silver lining to this catastrophic dystopian nightmare, it’ll be seeing their stupid, smug faces go all surprised_pikachu.jpg just before the end.
