Based on my experience with humans, the ruling class would probably get this turned around to the point where people vote based on how popular various brand names are. It might even reduce the amount it takes to buy or rent a politician if certain logos make them more likely to win.

Even today, I bet a good portion of his cult would just call all that money an example of how good a business man he is, with the assumption that good business man = good leader.

Another prediction is that dummy companies will pop up with good looking mission statements and money to give to candidates who might actually be good ones, only for scandals to break about the company after the name gets associated with the politician.

We can’t have nice things.
