You should be, we all should be. If our opposition had been really scared in the spring, things might have turned out differently. But people weren't scared enough.

I think the only way to even have a chance is to risk life, and I don't blame people for not being ready for that.

There's nothing left to do. It's over. The resistance isn't ready to actually resist and do anything outside of the everyday meetings on Rustaveli. And honestly, with the exception of Ukraine - I have never seen this playbook not work. No one really knows how to fight it.

one can always hope, but I don’t believe in any positive outcome.

And this will be cemented on 29 December, when the president is supposed to leave the premises of her residence. This would also trigger protests, but by then even the protesters will be taking to the streets to clear their consciences, not to achieve what they know is impossible.
