Some cases in point:

  • Suharto
  • Sisi
  • Saddam Hussein before he committed the unspeakable crime of nationalizing oil
  • Pinochet
  • Batista
  • Saudi Arabia
  • Pahlavi

This list is very, very far from comprehensive. One important caveat is of course that a lot of liberals do this amnesia trick where they oppose every war except the current one, and support every civil rights movement except the current one. So, in retrospect, liberals will for example always claim to have always been against Pinochet, but you bet that they supported the overthrow of Allende. Watch them cheer on the Arab Spring which installs Sisi and then after the fact call him a bad guy. Actually, probably most of them have no idea who that even is. Deeply uneducated lot.
