but that might be going back a few centuries. I'm going to look for some books to get from the library on this. Thanks for the reminder!

Idi Amin died of natural causes
Stalin died of a stroke
Duvalier died of a heart attack
Kim 1 died in his sleep. Kim 2 died in his sleep
Mao died in his sleep
Suharto and Sukarno died in their sleep
Franco died in his sleep
Pinochet died of natural causes

Most dictators do not die in ways we want.

Crooks and Liars Hall of Fame instead of a library.

So many Americans are full of false pride, I’m special you are not. You don’t deserve universal healthcare, you don’t deserve safe food, climate change is a hoax , COVID is a cold and don’t tell me you deserve to be equal to me. The right wing echo chamber reinforced it. We are now a pariah nation and i don’t know what this leads to but it won’t be pleasant.
