TL: The Most Horrifying Shock

Banned
It was a cold day in January of 1985 when the new President was sworn in on Capitol Hill. With his handsome appearance and toothy grin, many screaming women had to be held back by police. And while the nation was facing grim times, even many hard boiled skeptics couldn't help but wonder if this young man, the youngest President in history, may turn things around.

How little they knew...


"I, Theodore Robert Bundy, do so solemnly swear that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.”


OOC:

Yes, this is possible if Bundy is never connected to the crimes or decides that dominating as many people for the sake of it is more fun than murder. Sociopaths are very charismatic and can often make it far in high horsepower professions.

However, the Bundy administration is going to face problems. This is a dystopian TL.

"The motorcode passed by. Bundy smiled and could not help but think of how smart he was, and how brilliant his ultimate goal of dominating people for amusement would be. Of course, he had said the usual crap about values and national strength, which these gullible, sentimental "normal" fools, not as highly evolved as he was, just lapped up. That is, those who were fooled. Bundy well knew there were others like him in Washington who faked the smiles, but he knew he could outsmart them...

As Ted Bundy waved to the crowd with Vice President Liddy in tow-what can you say, he really appealed to the base-he could not help but reminisce about the strange events that brought him all the way from a confused and depressed young man in 1968. What a better idea this was than simply killing people! Not that he hadn't done that now and again, it was a good source of relaxation and light entertainment, but there was so much more to do with this worthless, pointless life in reality... his life's accomplishments so much more worthy of someone like him."

Does Jeffery Dahmer become the voice of the Gay Rights movement in this timeline?

Maybe we can get Bernie Madoff as Treasury secretary as well. This could be good.

Good God, I hope not. As if a President Ted Bundy wasn't terrifying enough.

all sadistic psychopaths end up in high places?

Ted Bundy should sign an agreement to virtually eliminate all nuclear WMD's except some high powered ICBMs with Chairman of the Communist Party of Soviet Union, Andrei Chikatilo. And while we're at it, treaty to limit bombing campaign and air-to-ground ordnances.

Because waging war without nukes and few airstrikes are much more "enjoyable", due you get in ground and go up close with your enemies. While the clueless nobel peace prize organizers giving them both peace prize for severely reducing nuclear threats.

If Bundy likes randomly murdering people so much the presidency is the perfect job for him, he can just make up some trumped up war for the hell of it and start bombing the shit out of a country.

Seriously, though, please don't have every serial killer psycho achieve political office as some of the comments seem to be asking.

I think just the one would be better, more of the horror if/when his previous killings are discovered.

Bundy is a bachelor. Part of his calculated appeal. ;)

Was not planning on it. I didn't even think of Dahmer or Gacy or the rest being in office or in the TL at all. I don't want to make this TL ridiculous. I do think, however, it is possible for a complete sociopath to gain office in the USA if he plans enough. DC is a perfect environment for a high functioning sociopath, and of the killers, Bundy by far seems to be the most likely to pull it off.

No.

Was that VP G. Gordon Liddy?

None other. I was debating between him or Chuck Colson, but if Liddy goes for Congress-and in 1968, he tried-this would be more realistic.

Just an FYI. I did debate have John Wayne Gacy in charge of the opposition in Congress when this idea first popped in my mind. But I do want to keep the TL realistic.
