Since I've been informed that MRO's political landscape is close enough to our real one that a man similar to Lord Dampnut is in office, I've been flooded with ideas on what the awful implications of that would be. So here we go, most of these are America focused but I suppose you could apply them elsewhere too:

Angst:
-Bird Hunters, the opposite of the Bird Watchers or Audubon X, gain in popularity and even gain visible ground in the media, with several Hunters coming forward to be the face of that ideology.

    -That ideology being that mutants are inherently dangerous and must be "separated" from the rest of humanity.

-"Alternative Facts" become a thing and the new government insists that mutant violence is on the rise, even though it's been trending downward for years.
    -Used as an excuse to profile and use excessive force against mutants by police departments across the country
-Hate crimes on the rise; homes, places of worship, businesses, and sanctuaries that house or accept mutants are either trash, vandalized, or burned down.
-Word leaks that there's discussion of the Camps returning setting off panic in the mutant community
    -Not confirmed but the Camps were never officially outlawed, just shut down
-Bill being pushed through the house/congress would force teachers to out their students who are mutant on top of the one that would force them to out gay students
    -Non-visible mutants considered "spies" by the Bird Hunters
-Gov uses honeypot site, similar to that of the Bird Watchers, to create a pool of mutant photos to catalogue faces, locations, powers, etc.
    -For example, uses similar algorithms to Facebook's facial recognition program "Deep Face"
    -The use for this data is currently unknown

Silver-lining:
-Protests on the rise, mutants prove that they can peacefully protest along with their human allies
-More mutants run for government positions, even if the cards are stacked against them
    -Mostly grassroots movements with a few actually getting into major political parties
-More research is dedicated to the understanding of mutants, rather than the curing of their genetics
    -Slowly there's a consensus growing among the scientific community that mutants are more akin to metamorphosis, rather than it being a genetic disorder or evolution: "This is something that has always been in the genetic code for humans, we just didn't know what it was until we were able to compare both mutant and non-mutant DNA on a large scale."
-Mutants coming forward to use their powers for good
    -Protecting others, protecting/revitalizing nature, healing others, charity work, etc
-Pope comes forward as pro-mutant, "We are all children in the eyes of God, we are all born of the same creator."
    -Outrage over this is common among the anti-mutant people
    -Other religious leaders concur with this thought
-Parent groups advocate for the safety and acceptance of mutant children

I'll add more later probably, but this is all I got for now. Use these ideas however you like, a base for your own plotting, headlines on an article or news show, having your characters participate, etc. Just link it here so I can read it.

Love all these ideas Alex. Many are similar to what I was thinking in the wake of the great Dump in the White House.

Makes for excellent plotting for Haven too!

Feel free to take any of these of ideas and use them in your threads. So, ideas like the hate crimes being enacted on sanctuaries would probably work really well for Haven, for example.

Heck yes. I had suggested "President of the United States in MRO bans mutants from entering the country…" for example in the Haven application.

These are all extremely useful. I'll point the Havenites to your thread.
