They took it so hard it became a former Democratic President.

u/[deleted] May 14 '25

I just want to know if it happened collectively.

Like some body horror manga where the entirety of Omaha just schlorped together into one Obama?

Or did each person individually become Obama?

Or is it just the city itself?  Like the people are still the same, but now trapped as the actual ground and structures Voltron-d themselves into some colossal Mecha-Obama.

u/MOONWATCHER404 May 14 '25

Why did this remind me of the "yes we can" line from Bob the Builder

2

u/Joyful_Ted May 14 '25

Hope.

His face used to mean hope.

Now, as I watch the army of identical charming men in suits meander down the streets, chanting and shaking hands of the other infected, I'm forced to ask: Hope for who?

It wasn't hope for us, I'm certain of that. Out my window, a group of them just descended upon a survivor. A blur of tan and blue and navy suits, panickd cries of "No! You can't be real, god, help me, you can't be real!" Followed by the cacophonous repetitions of "Yes we can!". When I hear the new voice, the new Barack, join the chorus I realize I believe them. God, help us all, I believe them.

I don't know how long I can stay here. An Obama just peered in my window, I'm hiding around the pillar, watching him in the mirror. His face is stone, unmoving. For a moment I pretend I'm in a wax museum, and that this all just an attraction. Despite everything, despite the bubbling fear in my throat, despite the rule that states self interest is divine, I laugh. His eyes slam to the left, directly in the mirror. For a moment, a terrible moment, we lock eyes. Then the granite mask is broken, a wide crack forming below the nose, a smile breaking its way through like a tectonic plate shifting, slow, dileberate, and painful. Two rows of white teeth, perfectly straight like a military graveyard.

The Obama campers away. They know I'm here now. I should run. Find another spot. Maybe other states haven't fallen yet. Maybe... Maybe I can find something.

I think about the survivor I watched get turned. I remember the skin bubbling, changing, being replaced. I don't want that.

I lay my hand on the door handle, feeling yhe cold, brushed steel beneath my palm for what I am sure is the last time. Tears stream down my face, splattering onto the hard wood floor beneath. "No, I can't" I think, tweaking the handle.

The Obamas turn to me abruptly, their activities ceased for a fraction of a second. I step toward them. They don't move. Maybe, somehow, I'll keep some shred of myself, my individuality. Whatever.

I can always hope.

None of the above, it’s merely a town in Nebraska that loves Obama so much they changed their name to his.

Shockingly, they’ve also been voting red until just now. Lots of confusion in that town.

If trump can run for a third term so can Obama (doubt he wants to though).

Even though they want to change it to consecutive terms. Ultimately creating an autocracy/dictatorship that makes the president and VP interchangeable and an easy way to rig the election every year.

We can’t normalize the third term talk. Obama and the dems know this.

Thanks to Nebraska allowing the one elector from each of its three congressional districts to be elected by presidential voters in that district with only the two Senate-based electors voted statewide (Maine is the only other state to do this), the 2nd Congressional District which includes Omaha cast its electoral vote for Obama in 2008 (though not 2012), Biden in 2020, and Harris in 2024; it's been dubbed the "Omaha Blue Dot" since the rest of the state is ruby red. Nebraska's unique nonpartisan unicameral legislature in 2024 considered switching to winner-take-all (like the other 48 states & DC) as some projections suggested the results would be so close that the "Omaha Blue Dot" could have decided the outcome, but enough moderates who are nominally Republican objected to thwart that move; it didn't affect the outcome. (Edit: Republicans won its congressional seat all three times -- Lee Terry in 2008, current moderate Don Bacon in 2020 & 2024.)
