MCU and the government

If you were a even sort of politically involved citizen in the MCU the last few years in the current timeline must have been crazy. Obviously the Blip, but then all of the immigration and mass deportations that the GRC threatened. Then a few years later (2025 iirc?), President Ritson goes on TV and says aliens are everywhere and encourages people to fight back. And people do! People go around killing maybe aliens. He's not reelected, but instead the American people pick Thaddeus Ross-- the guy who was directly responsible for destroying Harlem and indirectly responsible for breaking up the Avengers. And on the same day, Wilson Fisk is elected mayor of NYC! It'd be astonishing if any politician in the MCU wasn't an alcoholic because I get an ulcer just thinking about it.

At least we have Bucky in congress... even though he never campaigned and doesn't seem to wanna be there.

He seems uniquely bad at his job.... and I didn't mention this in my post but he got elected in a special election so someone must have died or resigned in order for him to be in office. Which is crazy! but still, I wonder who voted for him...

Congressman Barnes has looked into the accident involving former representative Thessalo Anopolos. Various sources have described the assailant as a one-armed man who disappeared within the blink of an eye

And we don't know how he won, or where he stands on any of the issues ... they really thought that one through, didn't they?

He was actively campaigning in Brave New World.

The governments have always had a corrupt or nasty side in the MCU... even in the Infinity Saga and Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

For all we know Ross could have run against Ritson in the election, running on a platform of bringing people together, healing the rift Ritson caused with his reckless actions and it was a convincing argument with voters.

Bro you coud actually be spending the time you took to write this stupid ass disertation about comic book movie politics to research your local government officials and make your life better. but no. you'll still be wiping tostinos pizza roll crumbs off your chin for the rest of your life and debating which female marvel character has the largest breasts. I hate you

I mean, electing Ross and Fisk doesn't seem too unrealistic to me, considering that we re-elected a guy who tried to overthrow the US government on live TV a few years ago. Seems pretty realistic to me.

And compared to Ritson with his actions in Secret Invasion, if Ross came along and was critical of him, vowing to heal the rift Ritson caused, end the madness, the people would probably prefer Ross over Ritson.

After all we see in Brave New World, Ross was trying to do good as President and bring people together.

*Some More News* did a mockumentary style news show within the MCU as a pair of specials a couple years back that might interest you.
