| Trump wins in 2024: He gets another 4 years in office to even further damage the image of the GOP, but the GOP will be extremely relieved they never have to worry about Trump running again. Unless he wants to pull an FDR--just even less legal than when Frank did it. Trump loses in 2024: He declares ... |

Jesus Christ, as told by the Tories wrote: You gotta watch out for those shifty sick poor people. They're selfish and lazy, and sometimes those immoral, stupid doctors enable their sinful hatred of work. |

| I am surprised many people buy this game considering its high retail price, despite the disappointing reviews. Some people still have not been burnt enough times to not get caught up in the corporate hype cycle. I try not to get too hyped even for games from studios that I trust to put out a good g... |

| Dennis Prager is known to be an Authoritarian and Christian Nationalist. I wouldn't trust any quiz he promotes. Dennis Prager is truly special. He's Jewish, yet he believes America is super special awesome in part because it's Christian, and that America would stop being special if it stopped being... |

| Using the term "leftist" pretty much saps any actual standing one might have. There is no such thing as leftism and as such no leftists. As far as the topic goes, the key word here is "fictional." There's all sorts of fictional things that people like that they wouldn't care for... |

I've heard multiple people say the game feels empty, environments lack content, space travel is not very interactive, the writing is bland to the point that some wonder if it is AI generated, and missions are painfully basic and pointless ("Go tel... |

| roronoa has made good points. The other thing to remember is that, historically, most leftist governments have been dictatorships. If you're already claiming to be a fan of Lenin, Stalin, Mao, Tito, or whoever, as some leftists do, then the concentration of power in one person doesn't seem like an ... |
