I like how this can be interpreted two ways, depending on whether you place loved ones above governance, or vice versa.

That's not a binary choice. Find yourself under the wrong governance and you'll find your loved ones disappear pretty quickly, even if you do toe the line. The people who treat populist politics as a sport are the people who don't have personal experience of that, or convince themselves they're insulated from the repercussions.
