Any non-corrupt politician would be unstoppable if they honestly attempted to strive for at least a few of these:
50% of THE WORLD. You're dead because I don't believe anywhere near 50% of China or India cares about most of this list. This is a list of American issues.
My list was preconceived in a comment I made a while back so you caught me there. But as I went back through the list , 80% of what I was proposing would instantly make the rest of the world a better place because the US is basically the villain of the world.
The Jon Bolton execution alone would inspire parades across the Middle East.
We'd first need to know who he is, so who is that guy and what did he do?

Iraq War and profiteering off of hundreds of thousands (if not millions) of deaths across the Middle East and the rest of the world.
Yeah fair enough. Please if anyone here becomes king of the world fucking kill this guy.
That's true. I mean, I'd welcome all those reforms. Still, at an political level, I'm not sure 50% of the world is politically savvy enough to actual appreciate what these reforms would do.
At some level I'm pretty cynical about the 'average' voter. I don't think it would be possible to come out of this alive. Too many people want what immediately benefits them, not what would make a better world.
For example, the majority of the world is worried about climate change, but it seems like a small minority that would actually vote for useful reforms if it meant they would have to adjust their lives.
The question mentions that whatever I wanted would instantly come to fruition.
Imao, imagine doing every good thing, but then people are apathetic and doesnt vote, and only people whom are disapproving of you, votes.
IMHO this is the most likely scenario
You’d die as a result of apathy.
