As someone who is more likely to be advisor to a dictator than a partisan, all I'll say is that when it comes to my own harsh tyranny, the concept of proportional response goes right out the window. Let the resistance conduct it's raids knowing that every death it causes will result in a prosperous and peaceful Mid-Western town being razed to the ground and all things that breathe slaughtered.

Known resistance strongholds will be nuked of course. As an insane, powermad dictator, I'm not big on the caring.

East Tennessee is full of red necks. They all have 4 wheel drives and rifles mounted on the back window. With the mountains right there and the rednecks hunting everyday in them, I don't think that any army would ever be able to quell them. Those rednecks tend to have unquestioned loyalty to the good ole USA as well.

I agree, but rallying people and resisting does not imply war. I would do everything I could to stage nonviolent protests until the soldiers' consciences would get the better of them and they'd stop murdering innocent protestors and overthrow the dictator.

I'd probably BE the dictator in charge.

Check it (even tho this has been discussed before):




You are one of the more creative of the dictators. When not writing poetry you're devising your own version of communism. As over two million Chinese staved to death because of your little experiment you should have stuck to writing sappy songs!

What a surprise.




By dictator standards, you're not that bad. Sure you almost started world war 3, but the treatment of your people is moderate. You're a saint compared to the guy before you that you kicked out, so your people tolerate you. However, you're ability to stand up to America has made you one of the more popular dictators. Hardly a movie starÂ… but hay, it's a start!

The Secret Service checks all those out. We're stuck with our dictator, it seems, hopefully just until he loses the next election, even though that won't necessarily stop him. It didn't last time.

Yes, well, considering my views on the current president, I cannot express support for such a thing. 'Tis illegal. Hell, some poor slob in Souix Falls, IA got sentenced for saying he'd like to see a burning bush when refering to the Prez. You just can't say such things in the US, not even in jest.
