Although, I'll be honest, I get why you feel like you're being targeted.
Here you are, doing what you feel is the right way to do things.
Then everyone else is all "Whoa! You can't do that! That's undemocratic, unAmerican, and literally illegal!"
And then you get arrested, convicted, then sent to prison.
I get it. I get why you, as an authoritarian fascist, would feel that any even-handed application of the law would feel like persecution.
