2020 Show runner: Ok, whatcha got?
Writers: Get this; we start off the year by…impeaching the president!
Show runner: So that's the theme of the season?
Writers: No, it's a red herring. While he's being impeached he finds out about a deadly virus spreading around the globe.

Show runner: So he fights the virus and saves the day?
Writers: No, just the opposite. He figures it will hurt Black and Brown people in mostly democratic states worst, so he does…NOTHING!
Show runner: Won't that ruin the economy?
Writers: YES!

Writers: YES!
Show runner: So is THAT the theme for this season?
Writers: Wait there's more. A man named George Floyd gets murdered by the police in May, and it sparks international Black Lives Matter protests.
Show runner: This seems like a lot.

Writers: We're just getting started. It's also AN ELECTION YEAR.
Show runner: Waitaminute. How are people supposed to protest AND vote during a global pandemic?

Writers: Meanwhile democrats will tell their voters the only way to win is to vote in numbers too big to manipulate, so they should vote early by mail.
Show runner: Isn't the USPS a federal organization?
Writers: Exactly. 45* will sabotage the USPS.

Writers: Exactly. 45* will sabotage the USPS.
Show runner: You're really stretching credulity here.
Writers: Stay with us. The US economy will tank, there'll be millions unemployed, tens of millions facing homelessness, they'll have 100,000 a day getting infected by the virus… and 45*'s support won't diminish! And then…

Writers: RGB dies.
Show runner: Wait, what?
Writers: Yup, there'll be an open seat on the Supreme Court, and the GOP will rush to fill it, like a week before the actual election.

Writers: So the election comes, and there's rampant voter suppression, and threats 45* won't cede power. Everyone is tense on election night, wondering if they're witnessing the rebirth of fascism. And then…
Writers: THEY START COUNTING MAIL IN BALLOTS! Cities like Detroit, Atlanta, and Philadelphia with majority Black populations show up in droves, dancing all the way to the ballot box. And at the last possible moment, Black voters save democracy!
Show runner (wipes brow): And then what happens?
Writers: Check it. There's a Black WOMAN VP. The senate is tied and she's the deciding vote. They PACK the cabinet with progressives, and balance out the courts.

Show runner: Isn't there pushback?
Writers: Oh there's a TON of resentment, but they give the country universal healthcare, a living wage, sensible gun laws, protect a woman's right to choose, invest in green energy, commit to reversing climate change, and stop the pandemic.
