i fully agree with this. the main reason why trump can mess with the people like this is because the people have no power over their own region. if trump wants to, he can just declare that it is now illegal to drive black-painted cars in the neighbourhood of chicago or grow strawberries in your own garden. the only way to prevent such shenanigans is if people have power over their own territory.
To be precise, the element giving Trump and his people the ability to do the things they do seems to be simply that they do them without consideration. You can do a lot if you don't worry about the repercussions or consequences.
