I mean, I like steampunk as much as the next 2000s kid who likes retro tech from before I was born, but you can't run a real modern government on steampunk technology. Not to mention the amount of fossil fuels that burns, if you're not allowed to cheat and use electric heating powered by renewable energy to create the steam. As much as I'd like to see a desperate government try to build very impressive things to run on primarily steam power in order to complete basic government functions in the modern world, using the scientific resources they're no longer allowed to use on more useful public health and safety research. And there's something about fascists relying on steam powered machines while the rest of the world has modern electricity and computers and scientific equipment, that makes excellent social commentary on regressive ideology.
Trump's hold on the GOP is beyond scary. He only needs to say "______________ is woke so bad," and then the republicans norm is to agree. He could say "Cancer research is woke so bad," and his hogs would hoot and holler for cancer.
I bet if he called capitalism woke, he could get the "children of the Cold War" my dad's age to hoot and holler for communism. Not that he would, because the other GOP classic line is to call anything they don't like communist, but that's how self-contradictory they all are under his influence.
Huh. I wonder if socialists posing as MAGA chuds and calling capitalism woke would produce anything funny.
