You are pretty much describing the premise behind Max Berry's book - Jennifer Government.

In the alternate present the novel portrays, the United States has taken over all of North and South America (except for Cuba) and dominates much of the rest of the world. The United States adopts "capitalizm", a form of minarchy that abolishes taxation and privatizes government.

People take the names of the corporations that employ them as their surnames, and persons with two jobs hyphenate their name, e.g. "Julia Nike-McDonald's". Employees of the government, including the novel's title character, take the surname Government.

I had "slams", but not "slammed". Fixed.

Horses are often thought of as symbols of running wild/ free/ fast. They are also often euthanized when they break a leg.

I thought the same. The caliber is a mini magnum.

When you break a leg and they put you down.

Maybe consider how far to the center/right democrats actually are and let that inform your decision. Is it possible a blue state recently convened a "safety summit" for their corporate overlords in the wake of a mostly positively-received act of self defense in their state? Pass revoked.

Does "getting it" even matter when they're on the other side of the border or in a Texas internment camp for an indefinite period with no further voting opportunities?
