I’m more worried about people like Ted Cruz and Donald Trump than I ever was about Saddam Hussein.
Hell, if we could get Vlad Tepes, things would probably actually be better! While he ruled with a strictness that practically defines the word draconian, he was fair. (As an aside, while Dracula translates to “Son of Dracul”, which in turn is “Son of the Dragon”, the word Draconian refers to Dracos, predating Vlad Tepes by couple of millenia. Any argument that he inspired the term are false.) Pretty much anyone who didn’t lie, cheat, steal, or otherwise harm innocent people were fine. And even now, many centuries later, many in his homeland regard him as a hero.
Oh, wait… you said “unscrupulous and ammoral” in addition to completely ruthless. My bad.
“But it can’t happen here can it?”
Did you forget the ~, or have you just not watched the GOP in the last few years?
