President Evil: Difference between revisions
m
→Western Animation
Line 178:
* In ''[[The Simpsons]]'', the aliens Kang and Kodos impersonate [[Bill Clinton]] and Bob Dole during the 1996 election, figuring one of them would be elected. When Homer reveals the truth, the aliens claim that American citizens have to vote for one of them anyway and voting for a third party would be pointless. The ending of the episode shows that Kang has been elected President, and he proceeds to enslave humanity and forcing them to build monuments. Homer claims it's not his fault, as he voted for Kodos.
* Evil Morty from ''[[Rick and Morty]]''; not that previous rulers of the Citadel were much better, of course, but the newly elected Evil Morty has no intention of being the puppet the Council wanted him to be, brutally murdering them and anyone else who opposes him. Possibly he believes [[Dystopia Justifies the Means]], but his true goals are, for now, unknown.
** Also, the unnamed President of the United States is pretty corrupt, as he tends to take advantage of Rick's skills whenever a crisis comes up and ''then'' take credit for it. In the second episode where he appears, Rick gets sick of it, leading to an actual fight between them, which shows the guy fitting the [[President Action]] Trope too.
