Professor X. He's already responsible with even more power, and this way people would choose to listen to him.

Captain planet.

Maybe we'd finally actually do something about climate change and for an extra special bonus we get to see him kick the shit out of the likes of the Koch's and whatever demon spawn runs Nestle.

Side note: mufasa is my namesake! I'm just so super creative and ran it backwards lol

Hermes Conrad. He's got a level head and knows his way around a bureaucracy.

Idk I kinda like being able to take a shit without having to fill out a form every time.

Keith David's president from Rick and Morty, because of the soothing baritone.

[–] Zahille7@lemmy.world 10 points 1 week ago (4 children)

I mean we could just use Keith David in general right? Like would it necessarily have to be that version from Rick & Morty?

I'm going to cheat a little and say Captain Kirk from Star Trek TAS

[–] grue@lemmy.world 9 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Janeway from Prodigy. Or maybe somebody from Lower Decks, but I can't decide which.

Out of the big three captains, Janeway would likely make the most capable president. Kirk would constantly be trying to fist fight politicians, Picard would quickly be bored with the day-to-day and would vanish to go work on an archeological site somewhere.

Sisko would throw Mitch McConnell off the roof of the White House, then fall off of it himself.

Brother she would be perfectly happy with Trump as president as long as that bitch Trudy Beekman lost all of her savings first.

If anyone from the archer cast is president im going Lana > Cyril > Pam > Krieger (The last would ensure our destruction, but we would certainly go out in a memorable way).

Both of the archers are right up there with Cheryl/Carol/Charlene for piss poor candidacy.

Nice try big politics! You wont get my opinion!

Joking, I'd vote for the roadrunner.

[–] Sunschein@lemmy.world 10 points 1 week ago

I'm voting for coyote. His approval rating is catching up to roadrunners, I'm sure of it.

Poison Ivy from Harley Quinn.

Princess Caroline. She can make deals, is passionate about her work but also her family. She would make this country function and function well and she'd never stop till it was done.

Jessica Rabbit.

All those "women can't be president" douchebags would shut the fuck up and start becoming "nice guys" which would be cringy but at least it would get them to stop sabotaging the rest of us.

Oh I can see it now. β€œI voted for you! Why won’t you return my DMs?!”

The coyote from Road Runner. He comes up with plans, some simple, some complex, and they always fail to work. Oh wait…

I don't think he'd want the job, but he would do it were he asked and give it 110%. He's no nonsense, a facts-based decision maker, and he listens to people's issues and makes fair decisions if it's what you want to hear or not. He's also not too full of himself to admit when he's been wrong. He seeks out experts on matters outside of his experience and respects their opinions. He loves his country and looks to do right by those that entrust him with a job.

He would also probably be unfortunately remembered as a terrible president a la Jimmy Carter, as he'd likely trust a number of people he shouldn't to keep their word, he'd be too compromising for a lot of people, and I don't think people would like his "lack of personality" they'd get from his public persona. I think Hank would be a top-notch cabinet member though! I would totally support him for any of a number of different ones.

Someone even more incompetent so he can destroy the USA quicker but less likely to push the nuke button.
