    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.

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

          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
