* IgnoredExpert: After the 2024 and 2028 elections, many conservatives urge the Republican Party to moderate their views. The GOP ignores it and continues to double down on their unpopular stances.

* RageQuit: After Democrats gain an even bigger majority in 2022, Donald Trump flies into a rage and resigns, saying that there's no point in leading a country that "hates him so much"

** Donald Trump is, similarly to Hillary Clinton in ''Upon a Cross of Globalism'', a largely toothless president who is stymied and stonewalled by Congressional Democrats, to the point where he is completely unable to carry out his agenda. Most notably, the Supreme Court ends up with a de facto liberal majority by 2019 due to Senate Democrats refusing to confirm any of his appointees. This results in Trump's transgender military ban being overturned and DACA remaining in place. Trump is also forced to cancel his border Wall entirely after congress refuses to support it. He dies about a year after resigning from heart failure caused by stress and his diet.

** Tucker Carlson quits Creator/FoxNews live on air after Maddow wins a second term, saying:

** The Democratic party as a whole are this in comparison to what they were in ''Cross of Globalism'', being able to not only thwart Donald Trump's agenda and cause his own supporters to turn on him, but also being able to implement every single policy they and their voters desire under the sun and more. By the time Stephen Miller gets elected in 2040 as the first Republican president to get elected since Trump, the Democrats have irreversibly changed the nation's social, economic, domestic, and foreign policies in their favor and it's too late for the Republicans to undo what they did.

** Donald Trump only achieves the minimum 270 electoral college votes in his re-election campaign, winning Wisconsin by just 500 votes.
** Similarly, Stephen Miller wins the 2040 election by a gnat's eyelash, winning New Hampshire and Virginia by a combined total of a meager 198 votes. The vote was so close in Virginia that a full audit had to be done. When his win was confirmed though, the outgoing Democrat majority was quick to do everything in its power to limit his powers and authority.

** During Ojeda's Proscription, multiple street gangs such as the Bloods, Crips, Latin Kings and MS-13 help the federal government and military take down far-right militias and groups attempting to overthrow Ojeda.

* EvilReactionary: The GOP responds to the success of the Maddow and Ossoff administrations by doubling down on xenophobic and socially regressive views. Stephen Miller runs for president in 2040 on a platform of reversing all of Maddow's and Ossoff's policies. He's able to win the White House despite losing the popular vote thanks to legal maneuvering in Virginia, but is continuously stymied by the Democratic-controlled Congress, and is eventually impeached and removed from office after his attempted self-coup is exposed. They eventually resort to open rebellion and are crushed by the Ojeda administration.

* TheDogBitesBack: Following Stephen Miller's "Snakes and Judases" comment, most of the GOP abandons him, and dozens of Republicans in congress end up voting to impeach Jin.

* IgnoredExpert: After the 2024 and 2028 elections, many conservatives urge the Republican to moderate their views. The GOP doesn't listen and continues to double down on their unpopular stances.

* HeWhoFightsMonsters: Ojeda does not want to stoop to the level of Republicans, leading him to call for the arrest of some left-wing militiamen who did cross the line by murdering SAC Senator Tom Cotton.
* HumiliationConga: The entire timeline is one for the Republican Party. Trump is unable to do anything meaningful thanks to Democrats controlling both houses of Congress, and the Maddow and Ossoff administrations are able to easily overcome Republican opposition to their policies. They [[TeamRocketWins finally get a victory]] when Stephen Miller is narrowly elected President, but he gets stonewalled by the Democrat-controlled Congress just like Trump before him, and is eventually removed from office after attempting a self-coup. They are finally destroyed after their attempt to overthrow the Ojeda administration is crushed, with Congress banning the party from participating in future elections.

* ISurrenderSuckers: In the months leading up to Ojeda's Proscription, the Justice Party lulls the Save America Compact into a false sense of safety and security by letting them think they are gaining steam. As the SAC-led civil unrest intensifies and eventually reaches its peak on July 2nd, Richard Ojeda ends military curfew and even orders all soldiers tasked with maintaining civil order and enforcing martial law back to base. Unfortunately for them, it was all a ruse, and it was at that point that Ojeda dropped the act and began Operation JACOB, also known as Ojeda's Proscription.

** (2017-2022) Donald Trump is President Jerkass, as his belligerent personality and refusal to compromise with Democrats results him getting very little done during his tenure.

** (2025-2033) Rachel Maddow is President Iron for her firm commitment to progressive policies, President Minority for the being the first female and first LGBT president.

--> Hal Jordan: They couldn't. They were severely outnumbered and outmatched by Ojeda and his supporters, both inside and outside the country. Even if they did somehow win, the entire world would come down on them like a group of rabid animals and would quickly remove them from power with the help of the local population and Democratic (or Justice in this case) state governments and restore Ojeda's government to power. There was ABSOLUTELY NO WAY they'd be able to maintain power for even a month before being violently overthrown in a counter-coup.

The Republicans by that point were so weak, disorganized, disunited and ineffectual that not even open rebellion could help them. There was an inter-party civil war between Trumpists, who were far-right and essentially fascist, and populists, who wanted to tone down a lot of the social rhetoric but still undo all the progress done by Maddow, Ossoff and Ojeda. There were also liberals, libertarians, moderates and anti-SAC conservatives within the party that only added fuel to the fire.

Also, the SAC states had a lot of angry liberals and Ojeda supporters within them, eating at them from the inside like a tapeworm. This had the consequence of Arkansas, South Carolina, South Dakota, Louisiana, Mississippi, Indiana, and West Virginia exiting the SAC and many counties within Tennessee, Alabama, Oklahoma, Utah, Wyoming, North Dakota and Idaho defecting to the Justice Party, either legitimately switching sides or defecting out of self-preservation.

By 2049, the GOP was doomed. The Republican party ceased to exist as a legitimate opposition at that point and basically had the luck of OTL Belarus' opposition. The formation of the SAC only bought the GOP time and stalled the inevitable, and nothing more.

* YouAreTooLate: Stephen Miller manages to win in 2040 through legal maneuvering in Virginia, however, the Democratic party has irreversibly shifted the nation's domestic and foreign policies in their favor, and Miller is unable to do anything meaningful thanks to Democrats maintaining control of the house and a strong Democratic filibuster in the senate. He is ultimately booted in 2043 after his self-coup comes to light.

* AssholeVictim: Eddie Gallagher, Marjorie Taylor Greene, Lauren Boebert, Tucker Carlson, Josh Hawley, Donald Trump Jr, and thousands of other SAC government officials end up being killed or arrested during Ojeda's Proscription. The only person spared is 2024 GOP presidential candidate Ron [=DeSantis=], and even then it's because outside of posting an image of him voting in the 2048 SAC elections for clout, he has largely kept a low profile, ultimately passing away not long after.

* RightWingMilitiaFanatic: The Save America Compact, initially founded as an alliance of Republican-led state governments, quickly turns to terrorism when their efforts to overturn the Democratic Party's reforms through the ballot box fail.

** Tucker Carlson quits Creator/FoxNews live on air, saying:

* HackYourEnemy: Operation JACOB starts with a massive state sponsored cyber attack which permanently shuts down and/or disables every single remotely right-wing News outlet, internet website, along with tens of millions of cell phones, signaling the beginning of Ojeda's Proscription.

** When the NPVIC is enacted, elections become outright one-sided In favor of Richard Ojeda of the Justice Party, greatly exaggerating this trope.

--> "[[PrecisionFStrike God damn]] him... Thanks to Trump, the democrats are going to get a supermajority. He has singlehandedly ruined the Republican party."

** In 2049, following the 2048 elections and the Save America Compact elections, the Republicans, who have had to deal with being electorally castrated by the Democratic (and later Justice) party, finally put their foot down and begin to openly revolt against the Ojeda administration. Initially looking like they were gaining steam, it only serves to lure them into a trap, and they are ultimately brutally put down during Ojeda's Proscription.

** Donald Trump is, similarly to Hillary Clinton in ''Upon a Cross of Globalism'', a largely toothless president who is stymied and stonewalled by Congressional Democrats, to the point where he is completely unable to carry out his agenda. Most notably, the Supreme Court ends up with a de facto liberal majority by 2019 due to senate democrats refusing to confirm any of his appointees.

He dies about a year after resigning from heart failure caused by stress and his diet.
** Rachel Maddow and Ron [=DeSantis=] act as the democratic and Republican counterparts to Tucker Carlson and Gavin Newsom respectively. The former's UACOT counterpart quits Fox in 2029 and is arrested in 2049 during Ojeda's Proscription.

** Richard Ojeda and Amanda Gorman serve as a democratic counterpart to Eddie Gallagher and Stephen Miller respectively, with the Democratic party being rebranded the Justice Party, similar to how Gallagher rebranded the GOP into the Liberators.

* ThePurge: Ojeda's Proscription is a more benevolent, if not still violent one. The Save America Compact, and with it 95% of the GOP, are arrested or killed in a '''massive''' counterterrorism operation orchestrated by Richard Ojeda and done through various federal and law enforcement agencies, the US military and national guard, Left-wing militias and counter-protestors, foreign troops, and even street gangs.

** Stephen Miller, while able to organize a grassroots movement and eek out a narrow win in 2040, severely underestimates just how powerful the democrats have become at the time he is elected in 2040. Upon taking office, the Democratic party is able to effectively castrate his administration and he is ultimately booted in 2043.
** Ojeda says that The SAC's attempts at defying his administration will be futile. While Ojeda is in office, the Save America Compact tries everything in their power to stop Ojeda from carrying out his agenda but fails miserably, and once they begin to openly revolt against Ojeda, he ruthlessly suppresses their "uprising" in an operation known as Ojeda's Proscription.
* YouAreTooLate: Stephen Miller manages to win in 2040 through legal maneuvering in Virginia, however, the Democratic party has irreversibly shifted the nation's domestic and foreign policies in their favor, and Miller is unable to do anything meaningful thanks to Democrats maintaining control of the house and a strong democratic filibuster in the senate. He is ultimately booted in 2043 after his self-coup comes to light.

* (2043-2044) Carlos Ramirez-Rosa is President Iron for his crackdown on supporters of the disgraced Stephen Miller and President Minority for being the first Hispanic president.
