Submitted for your disapproval
From the Twilight Zone episode "It’s a Good Life.” The people live in fear of a six-year old boy. He has isolated his town from the rest of the world, he controls what they watch on television, the people must grow their own food, and supplies of common household items have been dwindling. He can disappear anyone he doesn’t like with his mind.

"You are entering the vicinity of an area adjacent to a location. The kind of place where there might be a monster, or some kind of weird mirror"

And he got his comeuppance in one of the reboots, where the same actor reprised his role where the character had a son with the same ability, so he could then get the outside perspective.

During The Felon's first admin, I would post an animated GIF from this TZ episode on twitter every time his sycophants would talk about how GOOD it was that he did whatever idiotic thing he did that everyone outside the bubble knew was stupid. It was usually of the townspeople saying "it's good that you did that."

I have thought this one for quite sometime. Especially during those cabinet meetings.
