Just for funsies, I asked ChatGPT to come up with a platform for Dark Brandon. Except for being militaristic, it was bog standard liberal and progressive stuff. Then I asked how he would put his own unique signature on implementation and enforcement, and it was straight up fascist authoritarianism.

Now I know it’s just AI bullshit, but the AI’s understanding of the meme from everything it has absorbed is left hard authoritarianism, which says something about the overall sentiment.

It started off as a fun little joke but it got darkly serious quick. I don’t want an authoritarian government. Even one I agree with.
