I have a new policy idea for my eventual rule of the entire world

[bhavv]

Make me most glorious leader and I will ban vaccines.

Hey, this might actually get me some votes!

Along with mushroom clouds for everyone! Mushroom clouds right in your back yards.

Any potential tyrant who relies on being voted into office is not sufficiently tyrannical to deserve my vote.

He doesn't have to be voted in! Making him most glorious master could mean appointing him by acclamation, or simply as serving as drones in his horde of destruction.

Acclamation is a form of voting, as is willing subservience.

But regardless, he clearly envisions gaining the post as a result of a voting process. So again, any potential tyrant who is so timid as to wait around to be voted in is too timid a tyrant for my taste, and so for my vote.

Surely it is vaccines for some and little American flags for others.

I'm not voting for you!

No, sir. No way.

And if you do stand in my constituency, I shall go out of my way to vote for someone else. And not only that, I'll tell everyone I know all about you and your evil plans to execute everyone on the planet.

Frankly, you, sir, are bonkers in the nut, mad as cheese, and probably shouldn't leave the house without an escort in the interests of public safety.

But other than that, I think you're an OK kind of guy.

Using bathos to trick voters into voting for a madman? Tried once, didn't really work.

You should vote for none of the above.

 

[bhavv]

I am not a danger to the public!!! I have self control.

But if I was world leader, I would no longer need self control, I could do anything!

 

[Borachio]

Well, maybe. But I can't risk Mr Havv getting in by even a single vote.

But if I was world leader, I would no longer need self control, I could do anything!

This is the danger, yes. You've correctly identified it, imo.

Without self control, you would not be the leader of the entire world. You may be able to do anything, but not everything.

Without self control you wouldn't be able to control yourself and be in danger of becoming typically tyrannical and fanatically boring. Its been done to the point of terrifying tediousness. Instead I suggest dedicating your rule to wiping out rap, hip hop, and gay marriage discussions.
