Talk:Cthulhu for President

Slogans (and/or policy planks)
Do we want a section of Cthulhu for President campaign slogans? Here are the reliably sourced ones that I can find:
 * https://www.inverse.com/article/16964-who-is-behind-cthulhu-for-america
 * When the choice is the lesser of two evils, you may as well vote for the Best Evil - Cthulhu
 * “Implement equality through insanity”
 * “Legalize human sacrifice”
 * “Keep climate changing”.
 * “why vote for the lesser evil?”
 * "Knock on portals, commit to carcass, host meetings and feed on attendees, register voters, open gaping orifices, attend a rally."Cthulu for America
 * “No More Years”
 * https://www.wsj.com/articles/the-tentacles-of-h-p-lovecraft-1477671211
 * “Cthulhu for President: Why settle for the lesser evil?”
 * https://www.theguardian.com/books/2016/mar/01/could-cthulhu-trump-other-super-tuesday-contenders-hp-lovecraft
 * "a new golden age of mass sacrifice and unmentionable horror.”
 * " I want families to do more than just get by — I want you to get a head and consume it for nourishment.”
 * Equality Through Insanity programme;
 * decriminalisation of drugs to “end the war on mental exploration”;
 * the legalisation of human sacrifice (“As president, Cthulhu will eliminate these barriers to worship and grant true freedom to the faithful.”)
 * Foreign policy aims to lose any conciliatory face: “Peace makes your species weak. If you ever wish to be more than you are and be worthy to serve, flex those angry monkey muscles.”
 * Universal Health Control “from cybernetic surgery to genetic therapy” and even reanimation after death.

 * « Why choose the lesser evil [pourquoi voter pour le moindre mal, en anglais, ndlr] ? »
 * Ou bien encore ce détournement grinçant du populaire « Black Lives Matter » (« Les vies noires comptent ») : « No lives matter [aucune vie ne compte, en anglais, ndlr]. »
 * légaliser les sacrifices humains ;
 * poursuivre, « comme tous ceux avant lui », le réchauffement climatique ;
 * mettre en place un « plan économique simple » qui consiste à « manger les riches » (un délai est néanmoins accordé à ceux qui daigneraient rejoindre les rangs des adorateurs de Cthulhu) ;

 * What really fuels change are the sacrifices we make of people like you. We don’t have to accept a system that drowns out your voice. We can obliterate it. Join us.

First Year was 1992
The Cthulhu for President kit was first released in 1992, not 1996. But, I am leery of making the change without documentation; no need to start an edits war.

In particular, the image of Cthulhu erupting through the poster wearing an old-style campaign hat is iconic. http://www.waynesbooks.com/images/graphics/cthulhuforpresident1992set.jpg contains images of the 1992 kit, which I myself used to own and still have some components of.
