MODERATORS
A very underrated show.
There was a Tom Clancy novel, either Sum of All Fears or Red Storm Rising, where the president and cabinet were a bunch of stupid fuckups that kept on making bad decisions taking us closer to World War 3.
I feel like altered carbon might be on the right path, possibly blade runner as well.
The Man in the High Castle comes close... or at least, makes it clear that it's not as though the Nazis and Japanese occupying America would actually live by the code they dictate for others.
And the president elect checks every one of those boxes.
Isn't that Atlas Shrugged?
i can think of a few stories...
Wait until you take your first road trip through Ameristan.
There's gotta be some cold war fiction that hits on at least a few of those points.
At this point, I think aliens would do a better job.
