    I would grow a moustache and push the communism button.

    Then I would eat all the food with a comically large spoon.

    I wouldn't do anything because being in charge of a country is anti-democratic and democracy is the most valuable thing we have. :freedom-and-democracy:

    Immediately abolish the CIA. Prosecute and jail/execute every member of the agency depending on the severity of their crimes.

    If I’m still alive after that:

    Drastically reduce military funding and close all foreign bases.

    Slash budgets for police departments nationwide to levels necessary for public safety and investigation of violent crime. Restructure departments by purging anyone with ties to reactionary organizations and enforcing strict education, training, and vetting standards. All departments will now answer to civilian oversight boards comprised of members elected by the public. Money cut from police budgets will be diverted to social programs and the surrounding communities.

    Decriminalize all drugs. Release anyone imprisoned for possession or sale and other similar nonviolent offenses. Outlaw all privatized prison organizations and programs.

    Nationalize the oil and gas industry. Prosecute and jail all executives. Immediately divert all revenue towards green energy infrastructure and phase out the use of fossil fuels by the end of the decade.

    Outlaw for-profit healthcare companies and nationalize the pharmaceutical industry. Prosecute and jail all executives. Instate universal healthcare.

    Construct a nationwide high-speed rail system, and improve and modernize existing infrastructure.

    Outlaw for-profit property developers. Short of going full Mao on landlords, instate strict rent caps and greatly raise taxes on income from rental properties. Construct affordable and desirable public housing for all. Aggressively act to end homelessness.

    All forms of bigotry are now jailable offenses. Individuals expressing excessively reactionary thoughts are subject to re-education.

    Cut all diplomatic and financial ties with the nation of Israel. Recognize all land claimed by the nation of Israel to be occupied Palestinian territory.

    Recognize Taiwan as the rightful territory of the People’s Republic of China.

    Immediately end the embargo on Cuba and pledge reparations for the damage it’s caused for the last sixty years. Repatriate all gusanos, by which I mean send them out on a boat to the middle of the ocean and sink it with explosive charges.

    Cut all diplomatic ties with all foreign governments deemed to be excessively reactionary. Pledge support for socialist movements worldwide.

    Liberalism is now a jailable offense.

    Redesign the American flag to something cool.

      Nice. I agree with 99% of this. We just need a Red Army to enforce it and to stop the cops / the CIA from killing you.

      I think re-education is pretty much the only hope for QAnon people. The issue is: how the fuck are we going to re-educate half the American populace? Shutting down Facebook and corporate media would go a long way but it wouldn’t be enough.

    I would invite a governor from China to administer the place, as I don't have the necessary skillset. I would directly cede Florida to Cuba for one dollar.

    Crime is now based on % instead of flat values.

    So wage theft is now a capital offence and stealing real estate from jeff bezoz is a tickable offence.

    Stealing less than 1% of his trillions? Court not even going bother with it.

    1. Launch a mass propaganda campaign outlining my new socialist agenda, which I will call New Patriotism
    2. Reestablish the Unamerican Activities Committee to publicly outline exactly how unpatriotic it is to dodge taxes and exploit workers
    3. Make a major reform in how worker coops are formed so that the paperwork and tax code for them isn’t a goddamn nightmare
    4. Begin building the mass line by encouraging the formation of community networks
    5. Give federal state and local governments the framework to make their laws publicly available on the open source model

    I'm American. I honestly couldn't make it any worse if I tried. Literally anything I could do would make it better.

    In a more serious answer, I would have 0 fuckin idea where to start. Even if I was granted absolute authority and complete confidence that the CIA wouldn't kill me or face any other consequence, I couldn't figure it out. I'd be too overwhelmed with fuckin everything trying to figure out where to start
