* ExpyCoexistence: Patriot News is obviously meant to be a parody of the Creator/FoxNewsChannel, yet Fox News also exists here.

* ArtificialStupidity: Invoked, when Brett takes over as an anchor for Patriot News, he ends up reading off nonsensical talking points Alphabeta generates for him. Reagan even lampshades this by calling it "artificial unintelligence."

That is not what happened.


* AngerIsHealthyAesop: With some encouragement from Reagan, Brett is convinced to fight back against his family for treating him so badly and he does this by attempting to ruin his brother's campaign. After various attempts of ruining his brother's campaign go wrong, Brett's followers attack the Hand manor. After being berated one too many times by his family, Brett finally loses his temper and shouts at everyone, resulting in him standing up to his family and telling them to "get stuffed!"

* HateSink: Brett's entire family are stuck up, greedy, fame obsessed, and only care about each other in terms of how good they make the family look. Of particular loathsome note are Brett's brother Jagg, who recasts Brett in his family campaign ad and only acknowledges Brett when he becomes popular on the news, and Brett's father who is the one who pits his children against each other in the first place and only promotes Brett to son number one due to Jagg's weakness.
