Robert Mugabe…

The Zimbabwean dictator lived  much longer  than he should have,  but he is finally dead at 95..   Like so many tyrants,  he claimed to be for the betterment of ordinary people,  but his violence against opponents and ruination of Zimbabwe’s economy are his legacy.  When a military coup threw him out of office in 2017 after 37 years in power,  I was rather hoping his malevolence would have already ended with a bullet to the head,  but it took longer to kill him,  which was probably more just.

Keep an eye out for American and European politicians who praise his scant good works and ignore decades of corruption and murder.   Monica Showalter  correctly calls  the evil man the “socialist curse of humanity”.
