As Timothy Snyder said, “Do not obey in advance.” If a despot is able to give you everything you want then he can also take from you everything you have. Consider your relationship to a dictatorship like a relationship with an abusive spouse or parent or anyone with a Narcissistic Personality Disorder.
For exemple, if Trump can gift them TikTok then he can also take it from them thanks to crooked laws, much like these insiders who thought, in Zimbabwe or Venezuela, that they could get cheap businesses until they were taken from them.
