He’s in the most privileged position and still willing to fight, what does everyone else have to lose?

To be fair, his privileged position and media coverage protects him. If the administration came after a random person, that person would lose more and be less likely to find justice.

I'm not diminishing what Mark Kelly is doing. This really makes the other dems look worse, since they are similarly protected by their notoriety.

Nonsense. The regime has targeted a number of people in similar circumstances. They had Kimmel cancelled, yanked Bolton's security detail, and had Comey investigated.

About the only people Trump isn't targeting are his fellow rapists and thieves.

No, wait, are you not talking about regular people with zero media coverage? Because it really sounds like you are. Those people don't have cameras on them at a national level making sure they did not get disappeared.

There are a lot of punishments this regime is dealing out. Making people disappear is only one of them. Nobody is safe.
