Would you stand by your significant other if they became a dictator?

Lately I’ve been fascinated with reading about the lives of various dictators’ partners. More specifically, the mindset intrigues me. I wonder what goes on through their heads.

Like, what kind of dictator are we talking here? Is this a Lord Vetinari benevolent dictator, or your typical generic slimeball autocrat?
Personally, I'd like to think that if they did become the latter, they'd be so far different from the person I love that I would break from them. Thoughtfulness, intelligence, and consideration aren't usually things I see associated with dictators, you know? But people have an incredible capacity to isolate and put on different masks between their personal and professional lives...

Probably I would.
I mean, if they are just doing normal corrupt things, yea I'll go along with it.
If its massacres and genocides? Nah fuck that shit, I'm gonna "Julius Caesar" the fuck out of them, and grab power for myself and become a (benevolent?) dictator.

What do you mean "if"? My wife has been a dictator since the day we got married...

Hell yeah.
Next question.

I suppose it would depend on what I get out of it.

No. I mean look, I'll put up with this whole social delusion of unconditional love if it's not too crazy, but at some point fuck it.

Say what you like about dictators, but it pays well.
That said, you'd think there'd be signs of megalomania long before they actually take on that role, so their partners are probably already on board.

Many do, and I don't really have a moral obligation to oppose them personally then. The main obstacle would be my fear of dying in a nasty way when it all falls apart (which is probably made more likely by being nice).
