What the fuck level of cult of personality even is this? They're writing fan fic about their fucking overlords. What the fuck I cannot emphasize enough what the fuck?

Because they're removed enough to where politics is, as others have said, a show. It's Steven Universe. It's West Wing. It's Harry Potter. They want all their favorite characters, good and evil, to have a showdown or hug it out or otherwise resolve their conflicts so Harry can smile as he sends his kids to Hogwarts and know that all is now well.

I imagine this person thinks of Trump as a Palpatine sort of figure of pure evil, corrupting young and misguided Vance, who can still be redeemed and returned to the good, liberal light at the end of Act III.

I just realized something: Their fanfic is the millennial equivalent of saying "we need a strong Republican Party."
