Dictators are evil only from a republican point of view (note the lowercase "r" please). In almost every country there is a crowd of people who think authority means safety, and they believe safety matters more than freedom.
Of course, once the tyranny has been established, they will lose both.

@helenS I've been here almost twice as long as you. Over all. In decades! 😂
At SW maybe a month or so. :)
