King Cyborg

Banker

King Cyborg is an Enderwolf Civil Rights leader and a member of the Schmellzinger Family, which is a prominant jewish banking family. He is well known for speaking out against discriminatory policies against the jewish community residing in the Enderwolf States such as President SPIDERMAN 326's tax cuts of 2022 and for his advocation for the Civil Rights Act of 2023, the Fair Housing Act of 2023, and the Voting Rights Act of 2023. Although he is an icon for the local Jewish community and a key figure in the Civil Rights and Abolitionist Movement, he attracted some controversy over his far-right views on matters such as gay-rights and race relations.

### Political Party

Republican

King Cyborg strongly advocated for greater tolerance of the Jewish community in E.S.M. and opposed many legislative acts that hurt the Jewish community. One such was his opposition to President SPIDERMAN 326's tax cut plan of 2022. The plan cut taxes on every citizen and business by 30% in order to drive consumer spending, fuel business growth, and decrease unemployment rates. However, the tax cuts did not apply to the agricultural sector, an industry in which most of the Jewish community worked. The SPIDERMAN administration argues that this was to prevent farmers from overspending on crops, which would in turn produce a higher yield and lower the value of the crops; increasing inflation and hurting the famers in the long run. King Cyborg failed to lobby enough support to prevent the cuts from being passed in congress and preceded to take the plan to the Enderwolf Supreme Court. In the Case "Internal Revenue Service V Schmellzinger (2022)", King Cyborg argued that the plan violated the Equal Protection clause of the 14th amendment. However, the court struck down the ruling by citing the the need to regulate interstate commerce under the Commerce Clause of the constitution in a majority opinion issued by Chief Justice McCherry. Even though King Cyborg failed to prevent the passage of the plan, it cemented his fame as a civil rights leader in the Enderwolf States and as an advocate for stronger representation of Jewish Enderwolves in government.

### Civil Rights Advocate

During his time as a civil rights leader, King Cyborg strongly advocated for the passage of key civil rights legislation in congress, such as the Voting Rights Act of 2023, the Fair Housing Act of 2023, and the Voting Rights Act of 2023. The legislation was drafted by democrat congressmen in 2022, but due to threats against the west during the year, voting on the legislation was delayed until 2023. However, King Cyborg argued that the civil rights reform must be passed "As soon as possible" and cited the need to immediately vote on it. He urged and lobbied congressmen on Capitol Hill to put forward the bill and to vote on it, eventually convincing them to vote on it in January 2023.

### Abolition of Slavery

During the Phoney War and the Castonian-Saints War, King Cyborg lobbied President SPIDERMAN 326 to issue an Emancipation Proclamation against the Saints of Death, and therefore change the legal status of all the slaves in the entire world from enslaved to free with the enforcement of the Enderwolf States Armed Forces. However, the war ended too early due to the collapse of the joint Castonian-Forvian Army in the first battle of the conflict, causing the proclamation to not be issued. The acceptance and passage of the separate hemisphere philosophy enabled for the Emancipation Proclamation to be issued by President SPIDERMAN 326 in July of 2022 along with the creation of the Rebelo Doctrine. The Presidential Order emancipated all slaves and prohibited all forms and types of slavery in the Western Hemisphere, but the order was largely symbolic due to the fact that slavery was non-existant in the West, with most countries individually banning slavery and all of the other countries not practicing it. The move did show to the East that the Western Hemisphere was more free and morally advanced than their counterpart. Although powerless to abolish slavery that was currently practiced in the East, he constantly encouraged all leaders to formally ban slavery, pushed for its complete abolition, and called for amending their constitutions to prohibit slavery (Like the Enderwolf 13th Amendment.) King Cyborg was also a proponent of the Freedmen's Bureau, an agency in the Enderwolf government that helped formally freed and escaped slaves from the East transition into better lives, offering them government aid, education, employment, and protection in the West.

King Cyborg did not plan on running in 2022, but had a role in its outcome. 2022 was a close election with polling tied between the top two candidates causing them to seek the Jewish vote in order to break the tie and give the candidate an advantage. However, both candidates on the ballot (Rexuroy96 and ThatLuckGod) both openly criticized King Cyborg and his role in the opposition of SPIDERMAN's tax cut plan, with King Cyborg citing that neither candidate will do anything to support the Jewish community in E.S.M. ThatLuckGod constantly engaged in heated arguments and political debates against King Cyborg which often resorted to "Mud Slinging" eventually sparking a bitter rivalry between the two figures. Although Rexuroy96 also criticized King Cyborg he did it in a humble manner due to the close ties between their two families, and also promised to sign the Civil Rights Acts of 2023 into law, which eventually led to King Cyborg endorsing his campaign in May of 2022.

### Controversies

King Cyborg is a far-right political thinker, and although he is a key figure in pushing civil rights reform and fighting for civil rights for the Jewish community, his views on other races were deemed very controversial in E.S.M. King Cyborg is known to be against the African American community in the Enderwolf States, and is notorious for making racially charged statements about blacks living in the country. For example, he once claimed that African Americans in the Enderwolf states were the reason of a higher crime rate even though it has been proven to be untrue. He has also publicly stated to be against movements to increase support for black communities citing that they were "too dangerous" and is in favor of "segregationist policies", "Jim Crow Laws & Black Codes", voting restrictions in certain states (such as literacy tests and poll taxes), and supports the policy of redlining (All of which were declared illegal under the Civil Rights Acts of 2023), and has also stated that he opposed the “Africanization” of Enderwolf society and culture. He is also in favor of abolishing substantive due process from being interpreted in the constitution and is against gay-marriage, contraception use, and inter-racial marriage and dating, and has faced severe backlash from both sides of the political spectrum for his extremist views. He claims that the "Corner Stone Speech" and the "Confederate States Constitution" contain key values for a Republic like E.S.M. to have and supports the idea that a "Judeo-Christian white man" is racially superior to that of other races. He is also a key advocate of imperialism supporting the ideas of Social Darwinism and the "White man's burden" philosophy.
