Chapter 1440: What’s meant to come will always come

What’s meant to come will always come.

Even if they’re unwilling, it is still unavoidable.

Due to objective reasons such as the relocation of UA troops in Nippon and the Colombian Civil War, the UA election was postponed from the second week of November to late December. Voters across the UA walked to the polling stations with mixed feelings of pessimism, optimism, excitement, and indifference about this overdue election.

The vast infinite blue covered the city of Los Santos. Just as everyone walked out of the house, a plane flew by in the sky and smeared the sky with a sentence – “The UA is great, Trump is disgusting!”

The people of Los Santos looked up in bewilderment

In the crowd, someone shouted out with their hands around their mouth, “Oh my god! This is brilliant!”

At this moment, at the polling stations in CA State, college students took to the street and held up the slogans in their hands. Performance artists even painted slogans against Trump on the wall with spray paint. And all this got the acquiescence of the police, and the onlookers applauded.

In CA State, no one liked the guy that always made unjustifiable claims.

“Anti-Trump!”

“Say NO to racial discrimination!”

“We can’t let a rogue steal our nuclear button! Even if it’s just for our neighbors!”

“Anyone can be the president except for Trump.”

“Joseph Kennedy is great!”

“…”

The voices of opposition were not only concentrated on the streets of CA State but also centered in Silicon Valley and spread across the Internet. More than 170 Silicon Valley leaders collectively voiced their opposition to Trump.

Even if their political views had always leaned towards the Democratic Party, the attitude shared by the technology sector had never been so unified.

Especially Apple CEO Tim Cook, his dislike of Trump was already the worst kept secret. Trump stated that he would force Apple to move their factories back to the UA, otherwise, it would impose heavy taxes. Moreover, Apple refused to cooperate with the FBA to unlock the iPhone of a terrorist suspect. Trump, therefore, called on his people to boycott Apple products.

In addition, Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos, who was annoyed by Trump’s tax avoidance issue, stated on Twitter that we should send Trump into space.

This tweet was praised by another Silicon Valley leader. Tesla CEO Elon Musk then said in a half-joking and half-serious tone that he would leave a place for Trump on the rocket…

In CA State, supporting Joseph Kennedy had almost become political correctness. People were proud of their choice. Even if there were a few Trump supporters, they had to be sneaky when they voted to avoid being caught.

If someone else knew that they voted for the villain, there definitely would be an argument. In the worst case, it would lead to a fight. Those in the black community and people from Mexico despised that man.

But in T State, it was another scene.

In SA City, the site of the Alamo Fortress.

Dressed in cowboy costumes as T State militia during the War of Independence, people carried old-fashioned Fergus rifles as they marched from the ancient birthplace of the revolution towards downtown under the beating of drums.

Their stand was clear, their slogans were concise, and their chants were easy to understand. All this was accentuated by their outfits.

“Destiny!”

“Defend our country!”

“Fu*k the Mexicans!”

“If you don’t like Trump, get out of T State!”

“…”

Even if people didn’t like Trump, the people from T State were also skeptical about Joseph Kennedy’s foreign policy. As a traditional red state, voters had to heavily contemplate before they walked to the machine and cast their own sacred vote.

In front of the camera, when asked why he supported Trump, as well as his thoughts on some of Trump’s remarks, a red neck emotionally roared at the top of his lungs.

“Should there not be freedom of speech in this country! Is it wrong for me to defend my homeland! Why should I use political correctness to restrain the true leader of this country! For so many years, there has never been a politician that voiced our emotions! All these years! There has never been a politician who can express our aspirations! Don’t mention the Democratic Party! Even the Republicans are soft! Finally, there is a real leader that can represent us and say what needs to be said. And you still have to ask me why I chose him?”

“I don’t want to listen to any of the multicultural equality, anti-war, racial equality, women’s rights, animal protection! I don’t want hypocritical ethics, fabricated data, empty editorials! I need to vent my feelings and let my voice be heard! I just don’t like people who are different from me! Why are there so many people who are different from me in my homeland!”

There were cheers and whistles around.

They had enough of those hypocritical politicians and had enough of the lies from those “moral models”. Thanks to the “efforts” of Obama and Hill, southern T State had turned into another Latin America. Their ancestors used blood and guns to drive away Mexicans, but now the enemy’s descendants had swaggered into their homes, robbed them of their jobs, and occupied their social resources…

All this was due to those politician’s political correctness.

This damned political correctness!

And now, a candidate stood in front of them and said all they wanted to say. For example, “Mexico is sending criminals and thieves to the UA”, “I want to build a wall on the border”…

In their unique way, the cowboys cheered for their leader’s arrival.

There was one thing they shared with the people of CA State.

If someone stood in front of those rednecks and claimed to be a fan of Joseph Kennedy, the situation would indeed turn violent.

CA State was the traditional Democrat state while T State was the traditional Republican state. No matter who the candidate was, the result hardly changed. The swing states determined the outcome of the election, especially the swing states that hold a large number of electoral votes.

For example, F State, which held 27 electoral votes.

It was almost the hardest-hit area.

What could be more exciting than putting Democrats and Republicans together on election day?

Voters in the two camps had never been so antagonistic. They were like roosters eager to fight as they stared at the vote in their neighbors’ hands. The controversy had gone from factories to schools, from argument to verbal abuse, to even physical confrontation. The overwhelming advertisements of the two parties made many neutrals start to feel tired; they only hoped that this day could pass soon and everything could return to normal…

When the last ballot was cast and the last polling station was closed, the sun had fallen on the east side of the Pacific. This was followed by the dawn of the west side of the Pacific.

In the morning news, countless scenes told the story about this election.

When Jiang Chen saw how Trump’s supporters got beaten in CA State, he couldn’t resist the urge to laugh, even though he knew it was a terrible thing to laugh at.

He believed that he was not the only one waiting to see the comedy show continue.
