I think, with the enough propaganda and media power, one can elect a monkey to be leader.

Possible propagandas:

  • This is the smartest monkey ever
  • Monkey is from the God
  • Monkey will not be bribed
  • The other candidate is a t.rrorist
  • Look at this monkey, it has a viral dance on Tiktok
  • It would be so fun and cool to elect a monkey

I think, we can increase these propagandas. At the end, with media power, even a monkey can be elected.

Do you agree? What is the worst person, or thing we can elect with infinite media power?

    You are allowed to write the word “terrorist” here. It’s not a Beetlejuice thing, no need to worry that one will spring into existence behind you if you write it three times or whatever the concern is.

    As long as people refuse to educate themselves beyond the bullshit they’re fed, we will continue to see shifts in leadership that can swing wildly between ideologies and be extremely inefficient in delivering prosperity. It is endlessly frustrating that protest votes lead to claims of mandates for policies that are too far left or right and so the pendulum continues to swing.

    Depending on how pedantic one wants to be, this ranges from “It’s already happened, twice!” to “It’s already happened, hundreds of times (47 in the US alone)!”

    Also cats have been mayors of small towns already.
