It’s like the weird bit from Ender’s Game where his siblings become internet trolls pretending to be in opposition to each other, except within one guy, within one house.
yeah it’s fascinating that Card foresaw this kind of social influencing while being a very odd (religious conservative and game developer fiction writer) mix, but then he went wacko:
Card described an alternative future in which President Barack Obama ruled as a “Hitler- or Stalin-style dictator” with his own national police force of young unemployed men; Obama and his wife Michelle would have amended the U.S. Constitution to allow presidents to remain in power for life, as in Nigeria, Zimbabwe, and Nazi Germany.

Yeah, projection is common among conservative types.
If Lemmy is indicative of the left political spectrum, we can conclude that projection is common among humans in general.
So close, except that it’s Trump who has created his own private police force comprised of unemployed men and is trying to stay president for life.
Every conservative accusation really is a confession.
Yeah, Card turning into a nutter turned me off his work and recomemding it.
