Yes, she is acting like a dictator.
But she doesn’t actually have the power to back it, unless people willingly submit.

It is important to frame this as an act of desperation, because they are losing.
Any time anybody rants concerning it, make sure to include that bit.

Tyrants losing power are always dangerous, but it is important to emphasize that they are losing.
That way, fear motivates people to be careful rather than submissive.

Take from them the power of fear.
Frame all of their actions as signs of weakness.


Hearts and minds.
Tyrants and Dictators will break the law(s) when there's an emergency;
They'll also create emergencies so they can break the law(s).
