Frozen blood stains the snow outside the Capital Building. The year is 2025. It is a typical January morning in Washington.

The rightfully elected President has been thrown out. Political ferment, like the snow falling outside, unrelentingly blows through the air, caking the streets and soaking the ground.

Tension is so sharp it could cut out the heart of Democracy. The unelected Dictator has called on his MAGA supporters to form an army, naming his son Chief of Staff.

“How does it feel, Dad? President again. MAGA’s supreme leader.”

“No Eric. Build those MAGA suckers into the new Third Reich.”

(No offense will be taken if you dislike being tagged for various reasons. Please let me know, and I’ll be sure it doesn’t happen on my posts again. If, on the other hand, you’d grace me by allowing a tag, I’d be thrilled to add you.
