"Ask not what your country can do for you — ask what you can do for your country."

• John Fitzgerald Kennedy

And it almost fell at the Alamo Beside the Texas flag, but she waved on though She got cut with a sword at Chancellorsville And she got cut again at Shiloh Hill There was Robert E. Lee, Beauregard, and Bragg And the south wind blew hard on that ragged old flag

• Ragged Old Flag

Flight of the Eagle

In 2026, the sun rose over the American continent on the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence. In November 2024, with the eyes of the world watching, Donald Trump successfully re-entered the White House, opening the 'MAGA 2.0' era. Immediately after taking office, he declared 'Emancipation Day' and launched 'Operation Metro Surge,' a massive illegal immigrant deportation operation. In major cities, protesters clashed with law enforcement, covering downtowns in tear gas smoke. In particular, a tragedy in Minneapolis sparked nationwide outrage, plunging America into its most severe internal division since the January 6th incident.

The internal situation is literally split into fragments. When the Supreme Court ruled to curb the President's authority to impose tariffs, the White House immediately replaced it with an 'Emergency Executive Order,' clashing head-on with the judiciary. Democratic supporters poured into the streets shouting 'The End of Democracy,' while Republican hardliners countered by calling it 'Deep State Treason.' Social media has become a battlefield of mutual hatred and confirmation bias, and Americans now live in a 'Cold Civil War' state, believing different truths even when faced with the same facts, with all dialogue severed.

Diplomatic isolation and conflict have reached their peak. The Trump administration introduced a 'Universal Basic Tariff' that does not distinguish between allies and enemies, declaring a trade war against the entire world. Friction with the European Union (EU), a long-time ally, over defense cost-sharing has made NATO's solidarity paper-thin, and South Korea and Japan are also walking a precarious tightrope between 'security bills' and 'trade barriers.' A few days ago, the US Navy directly struck an Iranian tanker near the Strait of Hormuz, causing a Middle East energy crisis to hit the global economy.

Tensions in East Asia are on the verge of exploding. A summit with President Xi Jinping in Beijing is scheduled, but behind the scenes, a 'Technological Iron Curtain' surrounding AI semiconductors and core minerals is being built higher. China is expanding maritime fortresses in the West Philippine Sea to pressure US military systems, and Chinese fighter jets cross the line in the Taiwan Strait daily, heightening tensions. On the Ukrainian front, Kyiv is in a state of isolation under pressure from the US to stop support, and Putin is taking advantage of this to increase the intensity of energy blackmail against all of Europe.

In this era of great chaos, you must become an extra-parliamentary politician in the United States and take the fate of this giant empire into your hands. You are an independent challenger who has not yet entered Washington, D.C. You must choose whether to join the ruling Republican Party, which boasts strong administrative power, and become a standard-bearer for 'America First,' or become a relief pitcher for the Democratic Party, which is reorganizing its ranks. Or you could choose the narrow path of a third party like the Libertarian Party or the Green Party to try and break the evils of the two-party system. The walls of Washington will be high and cold for a political rookie without a single seat, but if your strategy and speeches can win back the hearts of the divided citizens, you might be able to prevent the fall of the empire.

Are you ready to make America great again, or perhaps just again? You could also make it free, beautiful, diverse, equal, or sacred. Now, begin your politics!

🐘 The Republicans

"Always think of the worst-case scenario. If you prepare for the worst, the best results will follow naturally."

• Donald Trump

And I'm proud to be an American, where at least I know I'm free.

Let's look and find the strong and able leaders It's time we found just how our neighbors stand If we're to win this war with Communism Let's fight it here as well as Vietnam Let's rise as one and meet our obligations

• Ain't I Right?

With President Donald Trump's re-election, the 'MAGA' forces have completely seized the party's mainstream. Traditional free trade and international interventionism have lost power, replaced by strong protectionism, universal tariffs, and thorough America-first policies. They adhere to the principle of deregulation for energy independence and zero tolerance for illegal immigration. However, within the party, potential cracks exist between populists aiming for leadership after Trump and traditional conservatives quietly gathering strength. The support base shows strong cohesion, but also carries the risk of losing moderates due to judicial risks and the strengthening of federal government authority.

🫏 The Democrats

"We do not see red states and blue states of division, but only the United States."

• Joe Biden

Let's say no to hate, no to bigotry.

All together shout it now There's no one who can doubt it now So let's tell the world about it now Happy days are here again

• Happy Days Are Here Again

After suffering a crushing defeat in the 2024 presidential election, the party experienced extreme chaos, but it is currently united in an 'Anti-Trump Front' to stop the Trump administration's dominance. It puts forward the expansion of social safety nets, response to the climate crisis, and protection of human rights and diversity as core values. Progressives are demanding stronger wealth taxes and reforms, while moderates seek to regain governing momentum through centrist pragmatism. While leading organized resistance to federal policies centered on Blue States, recovering support from the working class and ideological conflicts between party factions remain chronic challenges. Big tech companies and highly educated professionals are the main funding sources and support base.

🦔 The Libertarians

"The only legitimate use of government is to defend the rights of the individual (life, liberty, and justly acquired property) from aggression."

• Libertarian Party Platform

Don't Tread on Me!

No debt or inflation, no stealth confiscation No pigs in the trough at the gravy to drink No state education to brainwash our nation No experts dictate what to do, what to think

• National Anthem of Libertaria

As the camp with the most consistent power among US third parties, they aim for 'minimal government.' They resist all state power that infringes on individual choice, from gun ownership rights to drug legalization and the abolition of taxes. They criticize the Trump administration's tariff policy as 'economic dictatorship,' but at the same time, they also view the Democratic Party's welfare policy as 'tax plunder.' The support base is mainly libertarian-leaning youth and Silicon Valley anarchists, targeting voters fed up with the extreme confrontation of the two major parties. However, their organized campaign fundraising ability is weak, and they often clash with political compromise due to their overly principle-centered line.

☘️ The Ecologists (Green Party)

"A true leader is not someone who makes more followers, but someone who makes more leaders."

• Ralph Nader

Man's desire to dominate nature stems from the social form in which man dominates man.

This land is your land, and this land is my land From California to the New York Island From the Redwood Forest to the Gulf Stream Waters This land was made for you and me

• This Land Is Your Land

They put the response to the climate crisis at the top of their political priority, advocating for the complete phase-out of the fossil fuel industry and the full implementation of the Green New Deal. They criticize the Democratic Party for being lukewarm on environmental policies due to corporate sponsorship and demand more radical and fundamental social restructuring. Aiming for pacifism, they strongly oppose US overseas military intervention and increases in defense spending. Their main support base is college towns and progressive metropolitan tenants, and they face pressure for playing the role of a 'spoiler' that eats into Democratic votes in every election. Their financial power is extremely minimal, but they show powerful explosive power in inciting public opinion whenever environmental disasters or social inequality issues arise.

🟪 The Reformists (Reform Party)

"Everyone wants to enjoy the view from the mountaintop, but all achievement and growth happen during the arduous process of climbing the mountain."

• Ross Perot

Well, I've never been $4 trillion in debt.

Crazy For thinking that my love could hold you I'm crazy for trying and crazy for crying And I'm crazy for loving you

• Crazy

Inheriting the legacy of Ross Perot, they criticize the two-party system mired in ideological extremism and put 'efficient government operation' at the forefront. Resolving the fiscal deficit, fair trade, and political reform (lobbying bans and term limits) are the core agendas. Currently, it serves as a platform for independent-minded politicians like RFK Jr. or moderate rationalists pushed out of the two major parties. Because they are not bound by a specific ideology, they can present flexible policies, but on the other hand, they lack a clear party identity and tend to disappear from voters' sight when there are no major issues. They have a vulnerable structure where the party's existence is determined by the presence of a 'heroic leader' with strong charisma.

☭ The Communists (CPUSA)

"True progress is not achieved by compromising when a crisis hits, but by sticking to principles and fighting together with the masses."

• Gus Hall

Workers of the world, unite!

'Tis the final conflict; Let each stand in his place. The International working class Shall be the human race!

• The Internationale (English)

This is the oldest radical left-wing party guarding the banner of 'class struggle' in the heart of capitalism. They define the Trump administration's tariff policy as 'infighting among capitalists for the exploitation of workers' and advocate for the nationalization of major industries, universal basic income, and the total conversion of defense spending into welfare. The support base consists of ultra-progressive youth in large cities, some hardline manufacturing unions, and Marxist academics. They face structural constraints such as 'Red Scare' attacks from mainstream media and surveillance by law enforcement, but they have the potential explosive power to threaten the system itself by rallying the people angry at the existing system during economic depressions or extreme inequality.

🦅 The Constitutionalists (Constitution Party)

"Liberty is not just demanding privileges, but taking responsibility for oneself."

• Howard Jay Phillips

The party of integrity, liberty, and prosperity!

It's a damn shame what the world's gotten to For people like me And people like you Wish I could just wake up and it not be true But it is Oh, it is

• Rich Men North of Richmond

An ultra-right conservative party that criticizes even the Republican Party's MAGA line as 'secular and compromising.' They demand the literal application of Constitutional Originalism from the early days of the founding, aiming to extremely reduce the authority of the federal government and absolutize the autonomy of state governments. They put forward strong Christian fundamentalist values such as a total ban on abortion and the abolition of same-sex marriage, and aim for strong isolationism such as withdrawing from the United Nations (UN). The support base consists of evangelicals in the Southern 'Bible Belt' and militia forces that reject federal government interference. They compete fiercely with the Republican Party for conservative voters and lead a fundamentalist movement to return America to the Puritan order of its founding.

🐫 The Prohibitists (Prohibition Party)

"Alcohol is the devil's cup that clouds reason, destroys judgment, and paralyzes moral sensitivity. Temperance is the foundation of virtue, and abstinence is its complete form."

• John B. Gough

True freedom exists only within responsibility and moral norms, not in indulgence.

Away, away with rum, by gum With rum, by gum With rum, by gum Away, away with rum, by gum That's the song of the Salvation Army

❔ Independent / Direct Founding

"Sometimes a single decision changes a life."

• Napoleon Hill

Start your political career now!

Which side are you on boys? Which side are you on? Which side are you on boys? Which side are you on?

• Which Side Are You On?

This is the path to realizing your own political values without being bound by the cartels and interest groups of the two major parties. You are not restricted by any party platform and can become a new alternative by rallying the 'silent majority' alienated from both camps. Initially, you can receive explosive attention through a strong fandom or specific issues, but you will face the giant wall of the US winner-take-all election system (First-Past-The-Post). Realistic penalties such as the absence of major donors, physical limits on candidate registration by district, and alienation from the media are immediately applied. Your actions will be called 'the hope of democracy' by some and a 'spoiler' helping the opposing camp win by others. It is the most difficult path where you must survive in the wilderness with only your own influence without the protection of an organization.
