On board that August flight from Jakarta to Los Angeles were Kaesang Pangarep, the younger son of President Joko Widodo of Indonesia, and Kaesang's wife, Erina Gudono. Details of the trip trickled out on Erina's social media accounts: a $1,500 stroller for their soon-to-be-born baby and a $25 lobster roll for lunch. Her posts were seen as tone deaf and led to an uproar at home because most Indonesians cannot afford luxury items. But what made many furious was the fact that the couple traveled on a private jet. It was the antithesis of the Everyman image Joko has long projected. The plane was linked to Shopee, the operator of an online mall. The company had planned to construct a new building in the city of Solo, where Joko began his political career and where until recently the mayor was his older son, Gibran Rakabuming Raka.

The threat, as they saw it, was from their elected leader, President Joko Widodo. In his two terms in office, Joko, who stepped down Sunday, transformed Indonesia, virtually eradicating extreme poverty in the sprawling archipelago, where about 280 million people live. But many believe he also tried to bend the laws to install a political dynasty, undercutting the very democracy that let him become the country's first president who was not from the military or the long-established political elite.
