MODERATORS
There was a Tom Clancy novel, either Sum of All Fears or Red Storm Rising, where the president and cabinet were a bunch of stupid fuckups that kept on making bad decisions taking us closer to World War 3.
The Man in the High Castle comes close... or at least, makes it clear that it's not as though the Nazis and Japanese occupying America would actually live by the code they dictate for others.
There's gotta be some cold war fiction that hits on at least a few of those points.
How about the TV series Years and Years?
Isn't that Atlas Shrugged?
At this point, I think aliens would do a better job.
And the president elect checks every one of those boxes.
I'm throwing Starship Troopers in the ring
Book or movie? Because if you mean the book we're going to have words.
Back to the Future 2 was pretty close
Thats because nobody wants to read trash like that.
