    I guess there would be some cool aspect of it like having a mohawk and shoulder pads and a woman who is mute. We don't even get that.

    Close to dystopia. I just need to get AT and unconstitutional F to agree that since men can compete as females and use female restrooms etc., can I get a full auto rifle that considers itself to be a single shot shotgun?

    Let's look at the script...
    1. It starts with an incumbent President, one of the most popular in recent history.
    A. Successful businessman and TV personality who is both gregarious and eloquent.
    B. Every venue he speaks at is overflowing with supporters
    C. Divorced twice, currently married to a model who is fluent in 5 languages
    D. Rebuilds the economy while fighting a rash of spurious slanders and outrageous allegations.
    E. Remains clear of any legitimate charges after a 4 year proctology exam by the government and media.
    F. Ends up being branded a Nazi / fascist by the media and the opposition party.


    2. The opponent in the election is a half-wit professional politician.
    A. Can't remember where he's at 1/2 the time and is barely intelligible when reading a teleprompter.
    B. Can't fill a high school auditorium and spends most of the campaign hiding in his basement.
    C. Can't remember which woman is his wife and which is his sister (wait - should that be witch?).
    D. Son is a crack addict and lines his pockets by making deals based on his fathers political influence.
    E. Well known fact that his incompetence is exceeded only by his ignorance.
    F. Then there's the issue of incontinence.

    3. Half-wit beats the incumbent! (in an obviously rigged election).
    A. Multiple States violate their voting regulations.
    B. Anyone who questions the election results is branded a domestic terrorist / white supremacist.
    C. Peaceful citizens who broke / burned nothing are held indefinitely, in solitary confinement, for 'trespassing'.
    D. Every action that was creating the economic boom is reversed or shut down.
    E. Food, fuel and commodity prices soar.
    F. Constant flow of verbal stupidity that has to be 'walked back' before it starts another world war.

    4. What da Fvck ELSE you ask?
    A. The government is over run with freaks and misfits (Rachael Levine / Pete Buttigieg / Anthony Fauci).
    B. Constantly changing regulations and mandates on a virus that has a 99.98% survivability rate.
    C. CDC cancels rent and mortgage payments.
    D. Rumors of an 'unrealized capitol gains' tax.
    E. Rumors of a new digital currency to replace the dollar, that's 'programmable'.
    F. U.S. leaves the borders wide open while screaming about Ukrainian sovereignty.
    G. Screams of white privilege / animosity against anyone that isn't a 'person of color'.
    H. Men taking over women's sports / bathrooms
    I. Sexual perversion promoted as curriculum in elementary schools.
    J. Dogs and Cats - LIVING TOGETHER!!!



    Let's face it - Nobody would believe that!
    Come on, Man...
