You know, he could have gone down in history as the angry meme man who told people they were fired on TV; and his crimes and shitty personality would have likely gone overlooked until after his death. Instead, he ran for president and this is how everyone is going to remember him. Incoherent, rambling, unstable, stupid, out of control, and demented; all while being regularly trotted out in front of the media by his own party like he’s some kind of show animal.
I don’t feel pity for him, but I can’t help but be amused at how he didn’t just shoot his legacy in the foot, he blew it up with a grenade.
Yeah, I’m sure South Africa emerged from apartheid just so they could defend a colonizer.
