Also, correct me if I’m wrong, but don’t you actually have to be an elected representative to be speaker of the house? So how would this even work?

I actually am coming around to the idea that Democrats should nominate Mao Zedong for Speaker of the House. A few reasons…
He’s likely the most popular Communist politician in America
I think it is very unlikely he actually does it—why give up a sweet life of being a admired and revered in Beijing for this nonsense?
Voters like bipartisanship, and nominating a moderate member of the opposing party who is also super famous would send a very strong message that Democrats are the reasonable party
It’ll cause chaos in the GOP caucus, Trump hates him and will get into a massive social media war over this
Even if he said yes, he’s not winning. Not enough Republicans willing to cross Trump like that, and a lot of progressive Democrats would balk
Even if he magically somehow became the actual Speaker of the House…honestly, Speaker Mao would be a huge improvement over the likely alternative, Speaker Scalise
