A civil war rages in America between two main factions. Lesbians led by Rachel Maddow and Rosie O’Donnell and so-called Trans Men led by Bruce Jenner and Michelle Obama. The Civil war was triggered when Lesbians attacked Trans Men insisting on competing in women’s golf (LPGA). A unifying figure emerges in the persona of Tiger Woods. Not only does Tiger tick all the diversity boxes, he now has a wooden leg making any opposition unlikely to defeat him. That being said, after his landslide election, his support becomes fragmented owing to the many competing interests in the uber-diversified America. So in his second term, he dumps his previous VP and nominates George Lopez to capture the ugly Hispanic male with no sense of humor demographic. The reason Tiger can be so specific in this near future is because Cambridge Analytica has since perfected quantum computing and is now orders of magnitude more successful at splitting the vote than it was when it wrote Trump’s speeches in 2016. But even for all its computing power, even Cambridge Analytica (CA) can’t bring Tiger across the finish line with certainty unless he agrees to add one more disability to his portfolio. According to CA, Tiger must fake Tourette’s Syndrome brought on by an mRNA ‘vaccine,’ so he can demonize Big Pharma and unite wavering voters behind a common enemy, an enemy who has bought and paid for him many times over, but an enemy he no more plans to punish than Trump planned to lock up Hillary.

In order to capture the cynical White Gen Z Boomers, Tiger must pepper his speeches with a mixture of racial, disability and gender epithets. This will perversely endear him to these same groups owing to their empathy toward his bravery in the face of such humiliation. As expected, Tiger and George are re-elected in a landslide and America is Nuked the next day by Pakistan.

It seems like you've crafted a satirical and dystopian scenario with a mix of political and cultural commentary. Satire often involves exaggeration and irony to make a point or critique various aspects of society. Here are some thoughts and suggestions for your screenplay:

Character Development:

Consider delving deeper into the characters of Rachel Maddow, Rosie O'Donnell, Bruce Jenner, Michelle Obama, Tiger Woods, and George Lopez. What drives them to lead their respective factions, and how do they navigate the complexities of the political landscape?

Satirical Elements:

Satire often works best when it exaggerates real-world issues. Explore how the absurdities in your story reflect or exaggerate certain elements of contemporary politics, identity politics, and media dynamics.

Themes:

Identify the central themes you want to explore. It appears that you're touching on diversity, political manipulation, and the unpredictability of political outcomes. Ensure these themes are consistently woven throughout the narrative.

Narrative Arc:

Create a clear narrative arc that guides the audience through the escalating tensions, the rise of Tiger Woods as a unifying figure, and the unexpected consequences of his presidency. Consider the pacing and flow of events.

Political Commentary:

Since it's a satire, use the storyline to provide commentary on real-world issues. Whether it's the influence of technology (Cambridge Analytica), the potential consequences of extreme political correctness, or the unpredictability of global politics, use your story to make thought-provoking statements.

Tone and Sensitivity:

Satire can be a powerful tool, but it's essential to handle potentially sensitive topics with care. Consider how your narrative choices might be received and if they align with the tone you want for your screenplay.

Humor Balance:

Balancing humor in satire is crucial. Be mindful of not crossing into offensive territory, and ensure that the humor serves the purpose of your satire—critiquing societal norms and behaviors.

Resolution:

Think about how the story concludes. What message or commentary do you want to leave your audience with? Satires often offer a twist or unexpected resolution that ties back to the overarching themes.

Remember, satire allows you to explore serious topics in a humorous and exaggerated manner. Keep refining your screenplay to effectively convey your intended message and entertain your audience.
