History shows Shia rulers who gained power either fell or governed like Sunnis

Evidence

Before the sixteenth century, there were several other cases of Shi ite leaders who succeeded in gaining power. But without exception, they failed to fulfill their promise. The great majority were ousted after a longer or shorter interval; the remainder, once established in power, forgot their earlier program, and conducted their affairs in ways not significantly different from those of the Sunnis whom they had overthrown. — Bernard Lewis, From Babel to Dragomans, 1435

Categorization

• DEEPTHINKING: Dense pattern claim: revolutionary movements once in power abandon revolutionary programs — a structural regularity about Shiite as much as any radical politics.
• XREF: Echoes the reader’s sacrifice/civilizational sources on how challenger movements stabilize stratified orders once in power.
