Because like it or not, he has a lot of power, and is petty and vindictive. Most people do not want to upset a petulant billionaire who enjoys hurting people.
Yeah well that's fucking terrorism, why should we walk on eggshells to appease the school bully.
We shouldn't, but I understand on an intellectual level why people do. Would you be comfortable with an ex-president billionaire knowing who you are and having a grudge against you? Costing you your job and getting you blacklisted from future employment is like step 0 of the plan he'd enact against you. He would quite literally destroy your life.
Yeah this is how bullies work the illicit threat. And cowering to that threat is how you encourage them to take more from you.
Call the bluff and call it out when they try anything.
I get It, it's a real threat and nowadays we all are barely scraping by. But why are we all in this situation? Because of psychopaths like trump you have to break the cycle at some point or everything will be taken from you when you cower to the threat (show a bully they can take from you and they will come back and take more). You're damned if you do and damned a bit slower if you don't.
You resist fascism you don't bend to it.
