The problem is, this 10 year old cry-bully political party has been granted a lot of power by the 10 year old cry-bullies who vote. They're dangerous, like the kid from Twilight Zone that could wish you into the cornfield or turn you into a jack-in-the-box.
I read the original story that episode was based on. It's fucking terrifying what can happen when power is in the wrong hands.
What's the name of the book?
"It's A Good Life" by Jerome Bixby. It's one of the best short stories I have ever read, highly recommended.
Killer callback.
And that story did have a spectacular happy ending - not looking likely here, but we can dream.
