        I trust myself too. Choose me instead and I’ll make sure the other person ends up in gulag.

      It’s true absolute power corrupts absolutely, I wouldn’t be immune either.

      But if we’re talking a 4 year term of dictator, I’m so mad at all the right people, it would probably take four years for me to work through all of that. Even being selfish I wouldn’t get around to the corruption in time, too busy mulching the rich and getting kids school lunches to spite boomers.

      Now if I was pushed into a second term, people would start to regret.
