Things seldom end well for despotic tyrants, and leaders who are responsible for the deaths of their citizens.
Mussolini and his family ended up hanging upside down in the town square while enraged citizens threw stuff at their bodies.
Kadaffi was besten to death and shot by his own people in a drainage ditch.
Saddam Hussein was hung and his boys were shot.
Hitler saved everyone the trouble of a trial and killed himself hiding in his bunker.
Somoza was run out of Nicaragua in the middle of the night, by an army of kids with mostly stolen weapons, taking his parents bodies with him, lest his people tore them to pieces.
Czar Nicholas and his family were executed by the Bolscheviks, ending their despotic rule of terror.
Nicolae Ceausescu the Romanian dictator AND his wife were executed by firing squad after escaping an angry mob.
Pinochet, the Argentine dictator was facing 300 criminal charges when he kicked the bucket, denying justice to his millions of victims.
I could go on but you get the point. People will tolerate a lot, but in the end most dictators are executed by their own people.
I'd say most of them would be happy to have just been impeached.
