   The harassment is targeted at critics & opponents of the current regime. The message is very clear: Be afraid of us. Be very afraid

   There are 33 days remaining until election day. Vote out all the incumbents.

      If you think that the current administration is the sole driver of this, and it will end once their term expires, I have a bridge to sell you.

               so then what, we just dont vote? no one said it would fix everything/anything, but signals of change need to be sent

                  If everyone avoided the ballot box? I imagine that coming to pass would indicate that the change has indeed already happened.

                  You can't vote out of this, you can only organize across groups and control your way out.

                  I'm happy to hear the alternative where you manage to vote incumbents out without the cooperation needed to actually fix the problem.
