Of course you would. How do you think dictators get and keep power? Not by themselves of course. It's on the strength of a loyal, self-interested group of supporters like yourself that are rewarded with wealth, power and position for their service and obedience to the dictator. And If the dictator did not represent your own personal interests you would accept that as well? I suppose you would have to. Living in a dictatorship you would not have any other choice. That's kind of the point.
