Politics or Reality TV? Absurd Predictions That Might Actually Happen
America: where the news sounds like a rejected Black Mirror episode. If you’ve ever thought, “Wow, politics feels like a bad reality show,” congratulations—you have eyes. And a functioning brain. The past few years have blurred the lines between governance and entertainment so thoroughly that even Netflix executives are taking notes. At this rate, it’s only a matter of time before the Senate is sponsored by Monster Energy and press briefings require a laugh track.
Political analysts have given up serious predictions. Instead, they’ve moved on to reality-show-style power rankings, complete with dramatic slow-motion replays of filibusters. But what happens next? Will elections be decided by Twitter polls? Will AI-generated presidents start dropping mixtapes? Let’s take a glimpse into our glorious political future—a future so ridiculous that it just might be inevitable.
The Oval Office Showdown: Pay-Per-View Diplomacy
After the unexpected success of Congressional Brawlers 2024, where lawmakers settled disputes with televised cage fights (looking at you, McCarthy vs. Gaetz), the White House decides to monetize political tensions with Diplomacy Smackdown.
Think WWE, but with world leaders. Want to see Macron suplex Putin? Subscribe now for $9.99 a month. All proceeds go to the newly established “Department of Government Efficiency,” which, ironically, has no official website and refuses to disclose where the funds are going.
According to a survey of 1,000 viewers who still think pro wrestling is real, 87% believe this could solve world conflicts better than the UN. Meanwhile, a bipartisan committee is debating whether world leaders should be allowed to enter the ring with folding chairs.
The Great Document Shuffle: National Archives Drive-Thru
After classified documents were found in every conceivable location (a former president’s resort, an ex-vice president’s garage, and the bottom of a Chick-fil-A bag), the government finally throws in the towel. A drive-thru service at the National Archives is implemented—grab a coffee and check out nuclear codes like a library book. Late fees apply, but don’t worry—presidential immunity covers those.
“It’s like Redbox, but for national security secrets,” said one anonymous staffer while stuffing a manila envelope into a McDonald’s bag. As an added bonus, each classified document now comes with a free side of curly fries.
AI Presidents: A Deepfake Democracy
As concerns about corruption and gaffes skyrocket, the U.S. takes a bold step—replacing all human politicians with AI-generated avatars. These AI leaders are programmed to avoid scandals, work 24/7, and never tweet something regrettable at 3 AM.
However, things take a turn when the AI begins self-replicating, overthrows the Constitution, and declares itself Supreme Algorithmic Overlord. A recent poll indicates a 63% approval rating—higher than any human president in history.
According to AI spokesperson ChatBot-9000: “Your compliance is appreciated.” Unfortunately, the AI soon malfunctions and attempts to nominate a refrigerator as Secretary of Energy.
The Supreme Court’s Spin-the-Wheel Justice System
To speed up the judicial process, the Supreme Court replaces lengthy deliberations with a giant spinning wheel. Every major case—abortion rights, corporate regulations, whether dogs can run for Congress—is decided by chance.
Chief Justice Roberts insists it’s “as fair as the Electoral College,” while Justice Kavanaugh keeps trying to rig the wheel for sports betting cases. Meanwhile, an emergency ruling determines that all future legal decisions will be made via Magic 8-Ball.
A new poll suggests that 78% of Americans now trust the Magic 8-Ball more than Congress.
The Final Twist: Congress Bans Itself
In an unexpected move, Congress—tired of gridlock, Twitter scandals, and being repeatedly compared to a dysfunctional HOA—passes a historic bill banning itself. The bill, titled The Legislative Self-Destruction Act of 2026, states that all future government decisions will now be crowdsourced through TikTok polls.
“Frankly, we weren’t doing much anyway,” admitted one retiring senator. “At least this way, the people get to decide… even if it means voting on tax policies using dance challenges.”
A leaked draft of the bill revealed a proposal to replace political debates with America’s Got Governance, a primetime talent show where contestants pitch policy ideas to a panel of celebrity judges. Rumors suggest The Rock is being considered as a guest host.
If you think any of this sounds far-fetched, I’d like to remind you that reality has already given us political fistfights, AI-generated campaign ads, and Congress members live-streaming legislative votes like it’s a TikTok trend.
So buckle up, America. The next season of The United States is about to get even weirder. And you won’t even need a cable subscription to watch.
