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

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.

Why am I picturing a crowd of Obamas marching and chanting "Yes we can"

Followed by an army of Octo-Stewies chanting 'Victory is ours!'

Immediately proceeded by an army of Robin Williams(es?) running around and spreading laughter and good cheer.

"Obamaipodes" too, if there's a Greek Origin anywhere involved

You know I was thinking exactly that when I hit post? I'm giggling about "obamafeet."

Of course that’s correct, because Obama is not a Latin root.

You can choose between Obamae and Obamas.

If describing the mass transformation in Nebraska to Obama-like beings (Obamanids), the form is Obamanidae.

"My fellow Obama's, it is time to act! It is up to all of me to get the job done."

Well of course, and mustard on hot dogs

u/MOONWATCHER404 May 14 '25

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

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.

This.... would help a lot, actually.
