Electing someone and hoping to soften their views is akin to marrying someone and hoping to change who they are. It's not likely to happen unless they have a paradigm shift, and those tend to be very rare.

They didn't elected him. The "election" was a sham. He intimidated or jailed all opposers till the only guy running against him was a crony of his.

Mea culpa, then. In either scenario, expecting someone to change once in office still requires a significant shift to their thought process. I stand by my earlier statement.

I agree that there's no changing the nature of dictators but I just wanted to clarify that point, because your earlier analogy suggests that Egyptians chose him, which isn't the case.

A dictator “winning” reelection has never led to him being less of a dictator. It’s usually a rubber stamp for worse abuse.

It seems when Egyptians have democratic elections they keep electing extreme Muslim leaders, then the military take over and impose freedoms on the people, freedoms they don't want. To the extreme Muslim "Islam is everything" they don't want anything else.
