You are magically offered the Kingly Scepter - if you accept, you gain full dictatorship control for one week, and in this week can pass and repeal laws as you please. Afterwards you are given bodyguard/security typical for past presidents.
Do you accept the Kingly Scepter?

No way. It's not possible to become informed enough to be competent at that job in time. The potential to do more harm than good is too high

Kinda shocked that this many people think they have "the right idea about things" as individuals. Interesting.

Scrolling down, now I can just tell this is the modafinil working. . . next time.

I’d legalize psychedelics and then jerk off for 6 days. “And on the first day, god tripped balls. And then he didn’t do shit.”

I will take it. I will take the scepter to Mordor.

Is there any reason to expect that the normal legislature wouldn't just reverse it all after they reattain power?

Regardless of security this could be a worldwide teaching moment, for one week, worth the self-sacrifice.
On one hand, dictatorship could be used positively to show what changes could look like.
On the other, it could be a week of tyranny to remind more people of the harm.
