    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.

        Isn’t Germany growing their own new Hitler literally right now almost 100 years to the start of the Third Reich? That one techbro jackass with all the race science shit?

        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.

            Have you seen Er Ist Wieder Da? (He Is Back) Its sort of related to your scenario. Decently funny and the ending made a bunch of people mad

          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
