      Can’t wait in 2028 where democrats insist on literally bowing in worship to both republicans and white men so as “not to alienate ordinary Americans.”

        the year is 2028

        DJT still somehow alive and President

        military is reeling from disastrous attempt to attack Iran

        economy in toilet even though stocks are up (free space)

        every non-white latino deported regardless of citizenship

        Texas tries to secede but is prevented by QAnon-aligned military officers

        Democrats decide that the best way forward is to promote national unity

        Democrats decide not to have a primary, and to endorse JD Vance for president

        “if you don’t vote for JD Vance you’re voting for fascism!”

        Vance loses Republican primary to Actual Hitler, a clone of Adolph Hitler created by a tech startup

          Actual Hitler, a clone of Adolph Hitler created by a tech startup

          Techbros are so fucking fascist already and getting bolder that I truly wouldn’t be entirely surprised if this actually happened.

            The only surprising thing would be techbros actually accomplishing something actually groundbreaking instead of just putting a new coat of paint on labour exploitation.

            What am I saying, their clone would probably just be a man from an exploited country, who they’ve put in whiteface and slapped a moustache on.

            (CW: child violence) Edit: Startup idea!

            “Kill baby Hitler!” We make a test tube baby with some Hitler DNA and then we let people murder it. Literally killing baby Hitler!

              I believe the most likely outcome would be a techbro LARPing as Hitler’s clone and doing some cosmetic surgery to look the part, and maybe even explain away any discrepancies with techno woo about genetic grafting or something.

              We can be sure of this because it would require Musk to have invented cloning technology that could produce a new Hitler instead of IV fertilisation which isn’t really the sci-fi idea of cloning we have…
              No Musk would actually totally be the type to say he’s invented cloning and it’s just a worse version of IV fertilisation he’s forced some engineers to cook up for him

          It’s just like, they yell at us constantly and then they anoint someone who gets up in front of the world and says shit like this. There’s nothing we could possibly do to them that’s worse than what they do to themselves.
