For many years we have seen it in the movies.
A halfwit in the wrong place at the wrong time is made dictator of a small island state.
The halfwit, who's only claim to fame is they can, for a very short period, look the part, has no idea - it has been put into place by people who want to control things from behind closed doors.
The populace suffers.
Those people out of sight are always rich people with dishonest intent, politically inept communists and the Chief of Police.
The halfwit gets carried away by their own sense of importance and starts making things even worse. Starts asserting it's authority, robbing the populace of even more of their rights in an attempt to look good to the UN.
The populace starts to see how bad the halfwit and cohorts are.
The Chief of Police gets the halfwit to give his totally corrupt police force even more power. Power to act as they wish with no responsibility, no control.
The police exercise this power ruthlessly.
The populace continues to suffer.
The situation carries on and on until a hero gets a call from his girlfriend's family - locked up for the duration.
Finally, the "A" team (or similar) come in guns blazing, shoot the rich people and the Chief of Police, arrest the halfwit so the populace can try it and then hang it (with partner) from the nearest lamppost and generally save the day.
Welcome to the movies.
Of course, before "woke" times the halfwit was always a man or a good looking sheila. How times have changed!
Now, how and where can I find Hanibal Smith?
