* GullibleLemmings: Apparently, despite a 73% Muslim majority that vote as a monolithic bloc, despite the lack of televised debates and the media's refusing to show advertising for any opposition candidates leading several people to believe he was running unopposed, the major thing that swung President Muhammad's narrow victory was that the Islamic party renamed themselves the Green Party. The majority of votes came from people who [[WhatAnIdiot thought they were voting on environmental issues.]]

* BookBurning: Naturally, this happens.

* PropagandaMachine: After years of censorship, all existing cable news are folded into one network called... Al Jazeera.

* TwentyMinutesIntoTheFuture: Technically thirty five years, but you'd never know it. The only changes are a Muslim majority, holographic [=TVs=] and VR games.

This shows the world of 2050, a BadFuture wherein shifting demographics have lead to a majority Muslim America, and every secular European Government has already been overthrown and merged into the European Caliphate. Now it seems to be America's turn as President Osama bin Muhammad (sometimes spelled 'Mohmand' for no apparent reason) is elected the first Muslim President of the US, and immediately moves to ban consumption of pork products, make all American foods Halal, institute a religious police force to enforce Sharia law, seal the borders, deport all (non-Muslim) immigrants, and tax all non-Muslims.

There is now a sequel. In the Year 2050- book two.

* ArtisticLicenseLaw: Two arguments are advanced for why Jackson can become the president against despite serving two terms. First, that his third term wouldn't be continuous with the rest of his presidency, which is nonsense. Second, after every single official in the line of succession resigns or refuses the office (itself a fairly unlikely event) Congress votes to waive the Constitutional Amendment setting term limits for the presidency, which Congress absolutely does not have the authority to do.

Tabankin takes a certain pride in being politically incorrect, and this is not his first (or even his fifth) novel about a future civil war in America where the heroes are all square-jawed, conservative, and most probably white, men. [[Administrivia/RuleOfCautiousEditingJudgment And that's all we need say about that.]]

* ContrivedCoincidence: How convenient for President Jackson that while he's still mulling over armed rebellion, his Secret Service detail has taken the liberty of arranging a number of secure safehouses, and his former NSA Deputy Director has buried backdoors into all government computers and secretly developed technology to hide their online activity.
** Also that Jackson was somehow elected President in 2046. Either the 73% Muslim voting bloc fell down on the job, or he allowed an explosion in the Muslim population.
* {{Eurabia}}: In this story, all Europe is ''already'' a caliphate.

* InsistentTerminology: The leader of the Resistance is ''always'' referred to as either "President Jackson" or "Former President Jackson." by other characters and the narrative alike.

* PresidentForLife: In the opening chapter, President Muhammad makes it abundantly clear that he has no intention of stepping down or holding elections in four years, but means to make himself Caliph first of America, then the world.

* AuthorTract: The story will go on, at length, about the mendacity of mainstream media and the perils of Islam.

A 2015 political novel by conservative author Ira Tabankin.

* ObviouslyEvil: One really wonders how President Muhammad ever managed to get away with claiming to be a moderate Muslim, when he can't go ten minutes without ranting about destroying the infidel, including doing so on national television, and they had to cancel the televised presidential debates because he refused to share a state with one.

A 2015 political novel by Conservative Author Ira Tabankin.

* TimeMarchesOn: The book begins with a recitation of future history and how various presidents reacted to President Obama's legacy. Beginning with Ted Cruz, elected in a landslide in 2016 after Rush Limbaugh discovered all Hillary's missing emails and she melted down in the televised debates with him.

* ExpoSpeak: ''Everyone'' talks like this, telling each other things they already know in unnecessary detail.

%% BuccaneerBroadcast: EIBLAZE, a network formed by Glenn Beck, Sean Hannity, and Rush Limbaugh to resist Islamic censorship has to move offshore, and eventually run an internet show out of Israel.

* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: Strongly averted, with Obama and Clinton taking the biggest hits.

%% Plot Convenience: Abounds, most notably in how the deputy NSA director gives Jackson's resistance an undiscovered hack to read ALL government emails, and conveniently develops an IP scrambler to hide all friendly internet communication.
