The **2019 Chawosaurian direct election** was held on Friday, October 4, 2019, to elect the Supreme Leader of the Empire of Chawosauria. The incumbent Supreme Leader running for election to a full term was Ekewaka Mikala Kalawai'a, who took office earlier this year upon Supreme Leader Degotoga K. Atagulkalu's passing on March 3, 2019. This election was the first held during the Aftermath of the Chawosaurian Revolution and this election was part of the 2019 Chawosaurian elections and was coincided with the 2019 Chawosaurian legislative elections. This election is important because it permanently demolished the capitalist-dominant Abooksigian Era and replaced it by started what will be known as the so-called Parkerian Era that began on January 1, 2020. This Chawosaurian direct election is the last held prior to the COVID-19 Pandemic. This election was held during the midst of the atlantic hurricanes and pacific typhoons, wildfires in the amazon, civil unrest around the world including the one in Hong Kong, ones in the Arab world, and student strikes over climate change, and the Jeffrey Epstein saga. This election marked the rebirth of the Cold War Coalition after it was disrupted in the last election in 2017. This is the last Chawosaurian direct election held before the implementation of the Imperial Constitution of the Empire of Chawosauria and the subsequent Reform Era. The 2019 direct election marked the beginning of the end of the so-called Pre-Reform Era of the Empire of Chawosauria.

In the Chawosaurian world, a Prime Minister (incumbent or retired) is the toughest politician to beat in a Chawosaurian election of whatever level because of the seniority being Prime Minister provides and the level of respect it attracts among almost everybody no matter the socio-economic status, and in this case, the beneficiary, Shang Jong Parker, the victor, was universally known among Chawosaurians for his past service as Prime Minister during the 1990s and his reputation was so broad that it made him a celebrity even among Chawosaurians who are not politically engaged. This is the key reason among other factors why Parker was able to win so easily and the lesson learned from this general election is that challenging a politician with this level of nobility in the Chawosaurian world is a politically fatal idea with highly predictable consequences for those who dared to try. It is also the first time in Chawosaurian history that a Prime Minister was elected Supreme Leader. Other reasons why Parker won the election by such a wide margin is because he dominated Southern Chawosauria, he rallied the Cold War Coalition behind him, and he ran against an uninspiring incumbent who is barely known and is what Chawosaurians called "an *Archie*" which is Chawosaurian slang for Americans, and Chawosaurians would not vote for an Archie.

In a landslide victory, the Chawosaurian Communist Party candidate and veteran Prime Minister Shang Jong Parker defeated the interim Supreme Leader and SDGPA candidate, Ekewaka Mikala Kalawai'a, by a wide margin of 64.8 percentage points that separated the two men. Parker won 79.7% of the popular vote and the runner up Kalawai'a finished with just 14.9% of the popular vote. Supreme Leader Kalawai'a fails to win a full term, making him a lame-duck for this lame-duck session. Ekewaka M. Kalawai'a lost in a 64.8% point margin, the worst margin for a defeated Incumbent Supreme Leader in Chawosaurian History. In the process, Parker created a coattail effect for his Communist Party to win other elections. The Communists won a new supermajority (the biggest supermajority in Chawosaurian History) in Chawosauria's national legislature called the Chawopolis Palace while winning continental elections along the way and the Comrade elections in America. By Parker winning this election by such a wide margin, he resurrected the Cold War Coalition after it was disrupted in the previous election in 2017. Despite Parker's landslide victory and coattail effect, he won the weakest victory for a communist mainly due to running against an incumbent which is always a tricky task, but Kalawai'a did in return ran up the weakest numbers for an incumbent mainly due to running against a former Prime Minister, which is also a tricky task. Supreme Leader Ekewaka Mikala Kalawai'a lost election for a full term in his own right because of his lack of charisma and his lackluster efforts to connect with ordinary Chawosaurians; as well as the difficulty of defeating a prominent Chawosaurian politician like the popular former Prime Minister Shang Jong Parker, an election environment like this was somewhat duplicated in the 2020-2029 Chawosaurian Opposition's 2021 Chawosaurian Opposition leadership election between Sydney Lucas Webster and Charles Walpole just nearly two years later; Kalawai'a also lost because he was an American, the Chawosaurian people took their opposition to the U.S. President Donald Trump's America First policy on Ekewaka M. Kalawai'a. Donald Trump really sunk Kalawai'a's reelection chances because Chawosaurians widely depicted Trump as narcissistic, self-serving, power-hungry, racist, xenophobic, sexually perverted, stupid, and systemically corrupt compared to past American Presidents and that embarrassed Kalawai'a. Kalawai'a tried to distance himself from Donald Trump by criticizing Trump's policies and accused Trump of being xenophobic, but it wasn't convincing enough to Chawosaurians. Kalawai'a's "Donald Trump problem" dearly cost him potential votes in Latin America, all of Africa except for South Africa and Namibia, all of Asia except for Russia, Indochina, South Korea, and Japan, and then outside of Asia, Oceania, which was supposed to be an anti-communist stronghold. Despite Kalawai'a did win Europe, voter turnout wasn't strong enough to make this entire race close. By failing to hold on to Latin America, half of Africa, most of Asia, and Oceania, Shang Parker the communist candidate was given a bridge to winning this entire election outright.

Ekewaka Mikala Kalawai'a was installed into office on March 3, 2019, upon the death of Degotoga K. Atagulkalu. The Capitalists hoped DKA's death would drastically shift the 2019 elections in favor of the Capitalists but because DKA was still unpopular and so was the Capitalist-controlled Chawopolis Palace, the possibility of a sympathetic wave was never truly considered possible. Kalawai'a's installation backfired on the Capitalists by the end of this election. The Chawopolis Palace controversially passed the Nobility Act of 2019, which establishes a feudal system in Chawosauria, and it drew heavy criticism against the Capitalists. The bill was introduced by Jonathan Dragan Bismarck XX and the Social Democratic-Green Party Alliance felt alienated by it. They held a primary to replace Bismarck with Ekewaka Mikala Kalawai'a, without knowing he was the one who signed the Nobility Act into law. Kalawai'a won the primary and the SDGPA began to fall in the polls and the Communist Party's advantage grows. On June 21, 2019, the Social Democratic-Green Party Alliance effectively left the DKA Coalition, sinking Chawosauria into its first minority government in almost a century. Kalawai'a repeatedly said he did not want to run for reelection because even he thought he would not have a chance of victory. In other words, Kalawai'a was forced to run to reelection but ended up losing when he had to run.

Charles Muskie was seen as the Dark Horse who was gonna be the Chawosaurian embodiment of Donald Trump, and the possibility of him forging the same election upset like the one in the United States in 2016 loomed, but unfortunately, the conservative-leaning Popular Democratic People's National Party had a convention the same time in the same city where the 2019 Chawopolis Jewish Uprising erupted, the Jewish demonstrators were protesting systemic antisemitism against them, and they were confronted by the city police, fire department, and the military, and a city-wide riot steemed during the 2019 Popular Democratic People's National Party National Convention, the Jewish protesters defeated the city police, and one Jewish protester managed to get into the convention to protest institutional antisemitism and political under-representation against the Jews, but the Jewish protester who pulled by the party convention attendees, and was savagely beaten. Severely injured, the protester was removed violently by the police, and was thrown outside, all of it, from the beatings, to the violent removal, were recorded on camera and broadcasted worldwide. Afterwards, the Popular Democratic convention, including Charles Muskie, dehumanized the Jews, the protester, and the rioters, causing Charles Muskie to lose his ground in early voting. On July 21, 2019, early voting was completed, and unexpectedly, more Chawosaurians voted as a result of widespread voter empathy. Shang Jong Parker takes a big lead in the early voting results. On July 22, 2019, the first round early voting became classified as a runoff, and the race was narrowed to two candidates.

In the final months of the campaign, the partisan and ideological tensions within the Capitalists' legislative majority in the Chawopolis Palace, Incumbent Supreme Leader Ekewaka M. Kalawai'a's low-energy campaign and weak incumbency advantage, and the Capitalist-leaning western world's diplomatic interaction with Israel (especially the US-Israel relations) undermined the Capitalists' 2019 campaign, the Capitalists' ability to support the United States was frequently undermined by the Presidency of Donald Trump's constant damage to America's global standing and repeated tarnish to the political establishment of the United States, and the Capitalists' campaign was also undermined by the United States' losing end in the China-U.S. trade war and the worsening economic inequality that is also going on in the U.S. frequently contradicts the Capitalists' praise for the U.S. economy as their justification of Capitalism back in the previous election in 2017. In the mid to late 2010s, Antisemitism gained strength in Chawosauria as a result of the news about corruption investigations against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that started in 2016, the political crisis that rocked Israel, and the Trump Administration's foreign policy approach on Israel since taking office in January 2017, the expansion of Antisemitism escalated when President Trump declared the Golan Heights as Israeli territory and this helps Antisemitism to gain influence on the outcome of this election, Shang Parker used the old classic Chawosaurian term *"Jew York"* to insult New York for having a large Jewish American population, but also linked Jewish Americans from New York to Wall Street and the Great Recession. The incumbent running for reelection, Ekewaka Mikala Kalawai'a, was accused of serving Jewish and Zionist interests at the expense of the working class of Chawosauria, and Allegations of Israeli, Zionist, and Jewish control of the 24th Chawopolis Palace spread electorate-wide. The 2019 Hong Kong protests were a major threat to Shang Parker's campaign, Parker's anti-communist opponents attempted to link Parker to the protests because he's Chinese, and China is a Communist state, but it backfired royally because of two reasons, one, Chawosaurians saw these attacks as racist, and two, Parker responded to the attacks by saying anyone who supported the Hong Kong protesters are siding with the United Nations, it doesn't help the anti-communists so much that the UN does side with the Hong Kong protesters over Beijing, Parker promoted conspiracy theories that the United Nations is being corrupted by the influence of Jews, Israel, Zionists, and the Catholic Church, and Chawosaurians believed these conspiracy theories. Parker's attacks on the capitalists in response to their attempts to link him to the Communist Party of China's disastrous response to the Hong Kong protests scared the Chawosaurians into voting for Parker and made the Chawosaurians believe the Capitalists are colluding with Israel, the Catholic Church, and the United Nations to retain political power, thus energizing antisemites to vote for Parker and his Communist Party. The 2019 Wildfires in the South American Amazon, the 2019 Hurricanes in the Atlantic and Typhoons in the Pacific made Chawosaurians increasingly exhausted with the effects of global climate change, and Emperor Ekewaka Mikala Kalawai'a attempted to ask his Capitalist-controlled Chawopolis Palace for Climate Action, but the Capitalists' ideological divide between right-wing climate-change deniers and left-wing environmentalists caused lack of climate action, this made the Chawosaurian people, especially the core-backbone Capitalist constituency called the Green Voters, angry with the Chawopolis Palace. Not to mention the Great Blackout is still going on and the Capitalists failed or didn't even bother to pass any green power plan, the Sustainability Development and Environmental Protection Act was filibustered by the conservatives in the Capitalist supermajority in the Palace before DKA died. Shang Jong Parker and his Communist Party began to take advantage of the Capitalists' missed opportunities on renewable energy and the 2019 climate events by proposing a Green New Deal for the Empire of Chawosauria. A new power-breaker group that now has the power to swing elections are now Green Voters and they have replaced Independent voters as the power-breakers in elections in this election. Green Voters voted for Shang Parker, the first Communist these Green Voters have ever voted for. The September deaths of prime ministerial son Garfield Lucas Webster II and former Prime Minister Leonid Ivan Bzovsky, and the newly triggered impeachment inquiry being launched against sitting U.S. President Donald J. Trump by a Democratic-led U.S. House of Representatives in the United States, have all had the final sway at deciding the election outcome.

On the day of the election, the person to end this whole election season was Shang Jong Parker by overwhelmingly winning the election to defeat incumbent Supreme Leader Ekewaka M. Kalawai'a and with his significant victory over Kalawai'a and the capitalists, Parker helped his Chawosaurian Communist Party ride on the coattails of his victory, helping the communists sweep control of the Imperial Assembly of the Chawopolis Palace and the Federal Assembly of the Continent Union, giving the Chawosaurian Communist Party massive supermajorities to form the 2020-2024 Chawosaurian Government which will come to power on January 1, 2020. It was the largest ever elected Communist Party-led government in Chawosaurian history. The eventual result was that Shang Jong Parker buried Supreme Leader Kalawai'a in a landslide margin of 64.8% distantly separating the two men, Shang Jong Parker won 79.7% of the popular vote and a reversed victory of 152 states, compared to Supreme Leader Kalawai'a finishing significantly defeated with just 14.9% of the popular vote and 43 states. By winning 79.7% of the popular vote, Parker prevented the need for an electoral college to decide the election, which only occurs if there is a popular vote tie as it happened in the April 2017 Chawosaurian direct election. The capitalists' Millennial Firewall was destroyed by Parker's blowing victory after the millennial firewall existed for a decade following its formation in the 2009 Chawosaurian legislative elections. The millennial firewall's two replacements are Shang Parker's Red Wall and the Social Democratic Heartlands. In voter demographics, Shang Jong Parker swept almost all voter demographics that were tracked throughout the election. Ekewaka Mikala Kalawai'a performed horribly for a defeated incumbent Supreme Leader in a Chawosaurian direct election, he set a record of garnering the weakest share of the vote for a losing Supreme Leader in Chawosaurian history. However, Kalawai'a is not the first national incumbent to lose reelection this horribly, Prime Minister Jonathan Dragan Bismarck XVII suffered an even worse defeat as an incumbent Speaker of the Chawopolis Palace up for a second term in the 1945 Chawosaurian legislative elections, losing to Chawallian Communist Party leader and challenger Timothy Max Roosevelt by a landslide margin of 139-358 out of all 600 seats contested and Bismarck left with just 9% of the popular vote. Another national incumbent, Prime Minister Jonathan Dragan Boleslaus IX, suffered a similarly blowing defeat in his bid for a third term as Speaker of the Chawopolis Palace in the 2017 Chawosaurian legislative elections, where Boleslaus lost with just 183 seats and 21% of the popular vote, losing to Johnathan Saint Nicholas Montgomery VII. Ekewaka Mikala Kalawai'a is the third national incumbent in Chawosaurian history to lose reelection in a massive landslide. Because of his Chinese ethnic background, Parker performed worse amongst countries with high rates of Sinophobia, most of those countries are in the western world, this is one of two main factors of Parker also garnering the weakest performance for a winning communist in Chawosaurian history, the last factor for Parker underperforming as a winning communist was that he was running against an incumbent Supreme Leader, the first communist in Chawosaurian history to run against an incumbent Supreme Leader. However, despite little effort to distance himself from China's aggressive pressure on Taiwan to accede to an involuntary unification agreement amid the backdrop of the Hong Kong protests, Shang Jong Parker unexpectedly carried Taiwan, one of the shocking upsets of the 2019 election alongside Parker's other upset victory in India given China's often strained relations with India; and EMK's own upset victories in Russia (given historically strained U.S.-Russia relations), Vietnam, Cambodia, and Laos (given that, like China, these countries are communist states and the role of the United States in the Vietnam War back in the Cold War). A communist candidate has won a non-communist state before, but never has a non-communist won a communist state before in Chawosaurian history. Shang Jong Parker (China) and Ekewaka Mikala Kalawai'a (USA) unsurprisingly won their respective native countries, but Parker personally resides in the United States while Kalawai'a personally resides in Canada, both countries Kalawai'a won comfortably.

By losing control of the monarchy, the Capitalists became the opposition, and part of that role of the opposition is gaining control of the already-on-schedule 2020 Chawosaurian Opposition leadership election as part of the Capitalists' obligation to prepare themselves to lead the political opposition against Shang Parker.

Unfortunately for the Chawosaurian Communist Party, Shang Jong Parker's tenure hasn't been going as quite well at all as they expected going into 2020, his monarchy starts off with the COVID-19 pandemic threatening to infest Chawosauria which is a crisis the Parker administration fortunately averted, then there was the fallout of racial unrest caused by the police killing of George Floyd in the United States, a mean-spirited tensionate presidential election in the United States which fallout resulted in the violent storming of the United States Capitol by Trump supporters out of anger for the results of the election itself, and then Parker's second year saw the dragging on of the COVID-19 pandemic with the Delta variant, and Parker's instigation, escalation, and handling of the Chawo-Uralic War in hopes to preserve a widely unpopular land border called the Ural Wall between the Federal Republic of Europe from the western part of the border and from its eastern part, the Federal Republic of Asia, resulting in Shang Jong Parker's unpopularity amongst the Chawosaurian populace.

The dark shadows that cost the Capitalists control of the monarchy in this election have faded away or just faded into insignificance since the election, U.S. President Donald Trump lost reelection in the 2020 U.S. presidential election to Democratic challenger and former U.S. Vice President Joe Biden. In the following year in Israel, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was voted out of office by a vote-of-no-confidence by a new coalition of parties who this time united against Netanyahu. The Jeffrey Epstein saga has ultimately lost its significance as it was no longer big news mainly due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In Brazil, President Jair Bolsonaro seems to now struggle in his bid for reelection. The UK living in a post-Brexit world. Overall, a world and human culture greatly changed by a pandemic and in Chawosauria, a deeply unpopular and disastrous Chawo-Uralic War and among other changes throughout the 2020s leading up to the next election as Shang Parker faces a bid for reelection, which the effects of the election gave the anti-communists one obstacle in their quest to unseat the incumbent Parker even in spite an unpopular and unwinnable war in the Urals; the Cold War Coalition, which was resurrected by this 2019 election after it was disrupted in 2017. In June 2022, former Supreme Leader Ekewaka Kalawai'a reflected on his loss and he blamed Trump for his loss.

Throughout Chawosaurian History, direct elections tend to favor the incumbent party, 2019 is one of two elections where the incumbent party holding the monarchy was never reelected. 1975 was the election that the incumbent Capitalists lost grip of the monarchy, and it took them 40 years to regain it, but not via election.

## Background

The Chawopolis Palace voted in 2018 to hold the 2019 Chawosaurian direct election originally on December 31, 2019, but the 2019 Electoral Reform Package changed the date to October 4th and future first Fridays of October for future elections. The Capitalists are the incumbents of the monarchy since 2016 when Abooksigun Eluwilussit replaced Samantha Wawetseka after her removal.

During the lead up to the 2019 direct election from 2017, when a 2019 election was widely considered possible, to 2019 itself, it was universally believed that Johnathan Saint Nicholas Montgomery VII could be the one to lead Chawosauria as Supreme Leader starting in 2020, but there were also other people considered as well, but former Prime Minister Shang Jong Parker was never one of them because before 2020, no Prime Minister has ever become Supreme Leader. There was however one Prime Minister who was believed by supporters to be a future Supreme Leader, being Prime Minister Jonathan Dragan Bismarck XVII, and Bismarck was openly ambitious about it, however, his Supreme Leader asperations collapsed immediately after an irredeemable defeat in the 1945 Chawosaurian legislative elections to the Chawallian Communist Party led by Timothy Max Roosevelt, who ultimately became Supreme Leader in Bismarck's place in 1976, while Bismarck retired in 1979 with the dream of becoming Supreme Leader completely dead. Throughout Parker's prime ministership, nobody, not even Parker himself, considered him to be a future Supreme Leader, and the dissolution of the Soviet Union and the looming 1995 Chawosaurian legislative elections have threatened Parker's political career, but Parker defied these threats and pulled off a surprise victory in the 1995 elections, making him one of Chawosauria's most respected imperial leaders, though even this didn't do enough to boost his Supreme Leader potential.

Degotoga K. Atagulkalu, commonly known by his initials as DKA, was the unpopular incumbent who was going to run for a third official term, but he dropped out way early on March 31, 2018, after getting caught spying on the Communist Party. A year later, DKA died in office, and Ekewaka Mikala Kalawai'a replaced DKA. Ekewaka Kalawai'a, also known by his initials as EMK, was considered a weak incumbent because he has a history of not being an energetic campaigner, a political danger for the capitalists as the Communist Party was gearing up to take back the monarchy and they've proved that they improved their energizing skills in the 2018 off-year elections.

The Chawosaurian people were dissatisfied with their new non-communist government in the 24th Chawopolis Palace. They poorly handled the Poseidon Blowout and Oil-spill Scandal, which began the weakening of their incumbency advantage in the 2019 elections. The 2018 Age of Smartphone Referendum showed strong Communist participation in the anti-technology movement, giving the Communist Party popularity among Chawosaurians who fear technological unemployment.

On January 1, 2019, the capitalists entered 2019 with a less optimistic and not so energized base, with many hostile obstacles in their way, and impossible to solve challenges. This was the worst condition for a one-term incumbent party in Chawosaurian History.

## Procedure

The Supreme Leader of the Empire of Chawosauria is elected by the popular vote. While the electoral college does exist, the electors don't have a say in the general election unless the popular vote ends up a tie, then the electoral college would have to intervene. The electoral college can still vote while the vote is going on, and was required to via resolution to vote during this election in case of a popular vote tie.

## Incumbent

***Incumbent***
 Died In Office

Degotoga K. Atagulkalu was the unpopular incumbent who took office on February 24, 2017, DKA's unpopularity posed a deep threat to Anti-Communists going into this election. DKA's death on March 3, 2019 was a big relief for the Capitalists, but consider relief dashed by the low-energy successor, Ekewaka M. Kalawai'a.

DKA's death during an election year caused a major and serious disruption of the incumbency of the DKA Coalition, an inconsistent incumbent during an election is affective at confusing Chawosaurian voters and give them the perception that the incumbent party is disorganized and not well-managed. It was exposed by the 2019 Chawosaurian monarchical selection, a process to replace the dead incumbent, where Capitalists fought amongst themselves for a replacement till they found one in the uninspiring Ekewaka Mikala Kalawai'a, who the capitalists thought would be a safe and less polarizing figure, but Chawosauria is more of a France-political cultured world that enjoys polarization.

## Candidates

### General Election candidates

#### Communist Ticket

 Running for the monarchy✔

Shang Jong Parker entered the race in 2018 but never received any attention until July 2019. Shang Parker was known for his service as Prime Minister of the Empire of Chawosauria from January 1, 1990, to December 31, 1999. Shang Parker surprisingly won the early voting in a big margin that it was reclassified as a runoff.

Shang Parker's campaign was under threat by the 2019 Hong Kong Protests, Shang Parker being Chinese threatened to link him to the authoritarian, Communist Party of China, and like the 1989 Chawosaurian legislative elections 30 years earlier, his race became a subject of controversy due to fears of Beijing interference of Chawosaurian Independence.

Shang Parker also has issues that still helped him politically, China's winning end in the trade war against the United States reaffirmed China's standing as a Communist state, the factor for America's losing end in the Trade War is that China is a communist state, and communist states tend to govern authoritarianly, meaning an authoritarian government barely cares about the well being of their citizens while the United States being a democratic state meaning America's government must care about the well being of their citizens in a time of economic struggle like a trade war with China.

Taxing another country isn't possible. The real definition of a tariff is that while it is a "tax on a foreign import", it is, in reality, a tax on a consumer that attempts to economically pressure a consumer to buy homemade goods, but the United States being a free-market state became a disadvantage for American consumers because corporations who sell American-made goods raise their prices on these goods as part of the capitalist tradition of competition that has become a Corporate American tradition. America's Incumbent political party, the U.S. Republican Party, does not believe in regulating nor taxing corporations, showing that being the party of free markets and protectionism is politically complicated. This fact about capitalism made Chawosaurians terrified about the system and voted for Shang Parker over Kalawai'a.

Other Candidates and speculated to run

(January 1, 2010 - December 31, 2019)
(January 1, 2000 - December 31, 2009)
(January 1, 1980 - December 31, 1989)

Prime Ministers Boleslaus and MacAlasdair were speculated to run but refused to run.

#### Capitalist Ticket

 Running for reelection

Despite Ekewaka Kalawai'a proven himself to be a caretaker of the people after leading Chawosauria through two nationally distressing deaths in one year, EMK was voted out because he succeeded DKA, making him part of the so-called **DKA Establishment**. The controversy over his agreement to install the Ural Wall didn't sit well with alot of hardcore left-wing Chawosaurians who staunchly supported open borders at the Continent Union.

Kalawai'a originally declined to run for reelection. Over anger towards Jonathan Dragan Bismarck XX over his support and introduction of the Nobility Act of 2019, the Social Democratic-Green Party Alliance ordered the 2019 Social Democratic-Green Party Alliance Special Primary to have Bismarck replaced on the ballot, a draft movement to pressure Ekewaka Kalawai'a to run for reelection occurred, and Kalawai'a caved to pressure when he won the primary in a landslide, carrying 56% of the vote to Bismarck's 30% of the popular vote, beating Bismarck in a landslide margin of 26% separating them.

EMK is from the United States, a country in North America having to deal with the international scrutiny of having a tyrannical, scandal-plagued, fearmongering President of the United States who has the mental capacity of a petty, jealous, immature kindergartener who throws severe temper tantrums on social media when being criticized over a policy or a scandal. Despite EMK's Democratic Party laid out a successful performance in the 2018 U.S. midterm elections, EMK is widely linked to Donald Trump because of his national origin, and it hurt him badly in the polls.

Allowing another American to become Supreme Leader and then run for reelection during the 3rd year of the Age of Trump was one of the Capitalists' deeply, poorly judged 2019 election decisions the Capitalists have ever made, and it allowed the Communist Party to capitalize on this political blunder.

Speculated to run and other candidates

(February 24, 2017 - March 3, 2019)
(March 26, 2017 - December 31, 2019)

The biggest risk was Degotoga K. Atagulkalu who, at the end of his reign, was not so popular over his handling of the Chawosaurian Civil War and the 24th Chawopolis Palace's slow response to the Poseidon Blowout and Oil-spill Scandal. Degotoga K. Atagulkalu died in office on March 3, 2019, which sparked bigger than expected shock and grief among the public and it did little than expected to bolster the Capitalists' reelection chances. Johnathan Saint Nicholas Montgomery VII may would have been a much safer bet for the Capitalists because of name-recognition and popularity among millennials since the 2009 Chawosaurian legislative elections. But Montgomery offered some problems, his connection to Degotoga K. Atagulkalu, his Christian faith, and he is an American running for the monarchy during the presidency of the globally unpopular U.S. President Donald Trump. Jonathan Dragan Bismarck XX was also a risk for the Capitalists due to being a member of the widely unpopular Bismarck family, but one positive is that Bismarck is Romanian, which would've made it very easier for the Capitalists to distance themselves from Donald Trump and successfully rebuttal any Communist attempt to link the Capitalists to Trump.

Ekewaka M. Kalawai'a took office upon the death of Degotoga K. Atagulkalu, and he was considered a riskier choice if Kalawai'a ran for reelection because of his lack of name-recognition, his American national origin, and his background as a career politician, and there were rumors and speculations that he would run, but Kalawai'a rejected a reelection bid because he didn't think he could get re-elected. Kalawai'a repeatedly told draft lobbyists, consultants, journalists, and monarchical staff that he would not run for reelection because his incumbency advantage was not great.

## Electoral System

### Voter Eligibility

A Chawosaurian Comrade (Citizen) must be over 16-years of age, cannot be part of a minority group community, cannot be a Roman Catholic, cannot be Jewish, cannot be other Christian, or any religious affiliation not related to Atheism. Chawosaurians must speak Latin in order to vote, Chawosaurians must be male to vote, Chawosaurians must be Heterosexual and Cisgender to vote (*LGBTQIA Human Rights Act does not protect Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Transgender voting rights*). Chawosaurians cannot be immigrants (legal or illegal) to vote. Minority Groups are not protected by the Civil Rights Act of 2017 from discrimination by the Chawosaurian Electoral System.

### Political Party System

Chawosauria is a mandatory multi-party state. Chawosauria also allows Independents to run for office as well. Despite Chawosauria's Anti-Gay Rules against Gays voting, Chawosauria allows Gays, Lesbians, Bisexuals, and Transgenders running for office, many of them often get elected depending on their political views.

## Opinion Polls

This is the first election in the History of Chawosaurian Politics where opinion polls are being practiced.

All the polls of Chawosauria's 2019 national election shows the Communist Party is likely to gain the Chawosaurian Monarchy from Capitalist control that has been existing since 2016.

## Campaign

The Campaign was chaotic. After the July early vote which ended up a first-round, the race was narrowed into two candidates, Ekewaka M. Kalawai'a the incumbent, and Shang Parker who the Communist Party nominated as their candidate and Parker accepted the nomination. Kalawai'a originally didn't want to run for reelection because he didn't think he had a chance in getting reelected, but a split in the Social Democratic-Green Party Alliance over their candidate Jonathan Dragan Bismarck XX's introduction of the Nobility Act of 2019 caused a special primary. Social Democratic populists ran a draft campaign to draft Supreme Leader Kalawai'a who ironically signed the Nobility Act into law. Kalawai'a resisted the draft movement but the draft Kalawai'a movement had alot of power. Kalawai'a defeated Bismarck by a landslide in the special primary, forcing him to be a candidate for an official first term.

July 2019 was open for early voting, a tradition in Chawosauria. Timothy Max Roosevelt II was originally the Communist Party nominee who took the nomination in March 2018. Timothy II led all election polls and due to the popularity of social democracy in Chawosauria, the Social Democratic Workers' Labour Party polled well despite trailing. Voter turnout in July was unexpectedly high, Shang Parker who joined the race also in 2018 but on behalf of the Socialist Party in resistance to Timothy II received 63% of the early vote, and the government decided to classify this result as a round one result and declare the October 2019 election day a second round. Timothy Max Roosevelt II polled poorly, this caused him to drop out of the race, so the Communist Party offered Shang Parker to take Timothy II's nomination, with approval from the Socialist Party, Shang Parker accepted the offer. Chawosaurian Law encourages a candidate to have multiple party nominations.

The campaign started in August 2019 between just Shang Parker and Ekewaka Kalawai'a, the two men did not knew each other politically or personally, so they had no problem running personally harsh campaigns against each other. Shang Parker being a native from China, and Ekewaka Kalawai'a being of Native Hawaiian ancestry, a native from the United States, this was a China vs USA election.

The two candidates had strengths and weaknesses, this election was focused on world news and politics more than domestic issues. Speaking of strengths and weaknesses, Shang Parker's strengths is that China seemed to have had the upper hand in the trade war against the United States that was triggered by U.S. President Donald Trump slapping China with his tariffs on steel and aluminum. These tariffs were part of Trump's "America First" approach to foreign policy, however, these tariffs had more of a negative impact on Americans than on China, with Chinese imports now expensive in the U.S., companies that sell American-made goods rose their prices to compete with companies that sell foreign imports on who can make the most money, this type of corporate competition is part of American Capitalism, China being a socialist state is less affected than the United States because in China, almost everything is run by the government while in the United States, almost everything is privatized, the Chinese government can do price control to prevent inflation caused by a trade war while the U.S. Government does not do price control because of its belief in private corporate competition. In Chawosauria, this comparison between the U.S. and China in a time of a trade war convinced Chawosaurian voters that socialism was a better approach than capitalism. This was good news for Shang Parker and his Communist Party and it's one of the reasons why Parker is gonna win this election, but not without an obstacle, the government of Hong Kong passed an extradition bill that favors Beijing, this caused anger among the people of Hong Kong. The protests of Hong Kong and Beijing's response to the protests with police brutality threatened Shang Parker's campaign, a potential weakness that had the potential to sink his campaign.

Ekewaka M. Kalawai'a had more weaknesses than strengths, Kalawai'a came to office with an ideologically-fractured capitalist majority in the Chawopolis Palace who do infighting rather than forging compromises and do legislating for the Chawosaurian people. He lacked name-recognition but all he is known for is that he is a native from the United States of America, a nation whose President (Donald Trump) is not really globally liked around the world (including the U.S. itself). Kalawai'a and his campaign realized that this could be a problem and Kalawai'a needs to distance himself from Trump, Kalawai'a never liked Trump either so Kalawai'a had no problem throwing Trump under the bus simply just to win an election, this made the Kalawai'a campaign feel a little safe. Kalawai'a attacked Trump, Boris Johnson, and Le Pen from France as "fascists" and then tries to link Shang Parker to the Hong Kong protests. After Kalawai'a took office, Trump signed a policy that declared the Golan Heights as Israeli territory, this erupted antisemitism in Chawosauria, and Kalawai'a knew that Israel, Judaism, and its people are a complicated issue for the Empire of Chawosauria. The United States being a capitalist superpower who defeated the USSR in the Cold War is a strong supporter of Israel, and Kalawai'a feared this could be used against him.

The Kalawai'a campaign tried to use the 2019 Hong Kong protests to warn Chawosaurians about the cost of communist rule to convince them to reelect Kalawai'a and the Capitalist Parties for the 25th Chawopolis Palace. The Parker campaign realized that the Hong Kong protests and Beijing's conflict with Taiwan really could sink their campaign. Taking advantage of the escalating antisemitism in Chawosauria caused by the Trump administration's foreign policy on Israel, Israel's prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu being under criminal investigation, a political crisis in Israel, and his treatment of Palestinians, the Parker campaign accused the supporters of the Hong Kong protests of siding with the United Nations, the world institution that founded Israel in 1948. The antisemitic majority public started to turn against the Kalawai'a campaign for supporting the Hong Kong protesters because the United Nations has indeed sided with the protesters over China. The Kalawai'a campaign realized their decision to link Parker to the Hong Kong protests has backfired because Parker started promoting the conspiracy theory that the United Nations and many nations that support Israel are being colonized by Jerusalem. This counter negative campaigning against Kalawai'a has made the incumbent weaker and Parker more set than ever to win the election.

The issues that the Kalawai'a campaign failed to capitalize was Chawosauria's economic recovery following Black Tuesday (2019), when DKA died, the economy collapsed from 70.44% to 16.89%. Throughout EMK's monarchy, the economy grew back from 16% up to 66%, a 50% economic regain. However, the Kalawai'a campaign was too preoccupied with Jewish issues. Issues that hurt them because brotherhood with Jews is not a popular concept in Chawosauria.

Trying to distance themselves from Jews, the capitalists in the Chawopolis Palace passed the Electoral Fraud Prevention Act of 2019, which blocks Jews from voting. The capitalists passed the bill and pressured EMK to sign the bill despite his refusal. Jewish voters, as it turns out, are a crucial part of the capitalist base, by oppressing their own voters, they threw the elections over to the Communist Party. The rising antisemitism was energizing Chawosaurian Jews to register and vote, that would've helped the capitalists forge an upset victory throughout the whole 2019 election, but that was undermined by the very parties that Jewish voters were planning to vote for.

Shang Parker won the election by a landslide margin of (at the time) 62% of the popular vote.

## Results

Shang Jong Parker won this election by an election night margin of 62.1% to Ekewaka Kalawai'a's 36.3%. Parker performed best at working-class Chawosaurians the most, who feared Kalawai'a would let Jews start controlling monetary establishments of Chawosauria which the workers feared would harm their paychecks by adding the Kosher tax on their paycheck. Consumers voted overwhelmingly for Parker also due to fears of the Kosher tax. A Kosher tax is a conspiracy theory on which food companies and consumers are forced to pay money to support Judaism, Zionism, and Israel.

This is an election based on fear. The fear of Jews. The voter turnout of Anti-Semites was 80%. They voted overwhelmingly for Shang Parker (88% to 8%). Shang Parker made gains in all six continents, in North America, South America, Europe, Africa, Asia, and Oceania.

Parker outperformed Timothy Max Roosevelt II by 12.2%. Kalawai'a underperformed Degotoga K. Atagulkalu by 13.8%. In 2017, Degotoga K. Atagulkalu won 50.1% of the vote, that's now down 13.8%. Timothy Max Roosevelt II finished 49.9% of the vote against Degotoga K. Atagulkalu, that's now up 12.2%. Kalawai'a earned the worst margin for a defeated Incumbent Supreme Leader in Chawosaurian History, Kalawai'a did worse than Abooksigun Eluwilussit when Eluwilussit won 49.6% of the vote to the Green Party nominee Malina Lusa Parker's 49.8% of the vote back in the 2016 Chawosaurian direct election three years earlier. Kalawai'a 36.3% is 13.3% below Eluwilussit's 49.6%.

Parker went on to win a landslide victory of 79.7% of the popular vote, to Kalawai'a's 14.9% of the popular vote.

### Inside the Kalawai'a campaign headquarters on Election Night

Kalawai'a and his campaign staff began the night hoping to forge the same upset as U.S. President Harry Truman's 1948 U.S. Presidential Election upset and he'd be the "Harry Truman of Chawosauria". Kalawai'a's campaign headquarters had a banner that said: "Give'em Hell Ekewaka!". As the night goes on and the Kalawai'a campaign watches the election returns, excitement labors in fear that Shang Parker takes a big lead over Ekewaka. Throughout the night, Parker continued to lead decisively over Kalawai'a. The nights get late and Parker's still leading overwhelmingly, Kalawai'a's campaign looked at the TV in shock as the networks projected a Communist Party wave in the Chawopolis Palace, the Continental Federal Republic elections, the Comrade Presidency, and Comrade Congress, and Parker's lead still hasn't shrunken. It is October 5th in the eastern hemisphere, and dawn just hit the Eastern United States, and Parker still leads decisively. With 99% of the vote in, and Kalawai'a in the mid-30s and Parker in the varying 60s, Kalawai'a softly announces his intension to concede. Kalawai'a walked into his hotel room and called Parker to declare him the winner before the networks even projected Parker's victory.

Inside Shang Parker's campaign headquarters in Shanghai, it was October 5th in the evening, the Parkers received an unexpecting phone call from Kalawai'a and Shang's wife, Kim Chae-Won, took the phone and spoke with Kalawai'a personally, Kim wished Kalawai'a that this election does not end his political career and encouraged him to "get back in the game", referring to return to politics. Kim entered the bathroom to see her husband, Shang was in the bathroom in his hotel room, Kim handed the phone to her husband and Shang and Ekewaka spoke. Shang encouraged Ekewaka to continue his political career after a decisive defeat.

Ekewaka returned from his room at 8:00 AM, October 5, 2019. At 12:21 AM, Ekewaka gave his concession speech to his supporters while Shang Parker gave his victory speech to a stadium of supporters of his. Ekewaka's concession speech took place in an auditorium room. After the concession speech, Kalawai'a left a cheering auditorium deeply depressed and very hurt. On October 5, 2019 at 6:52 PM, Kalawai'a arrived back to Chawopolis City to proceed his responsibilities as Emperor.

### Geography of Results

    Shang Parker won South America, Africa, Oceania, Antarctica (although a prison continent), and Asia. Kalawai'a won North America by a slim margin, Europe by a wide margin.

By nation, Shang Parker swept China (his birth and home country), Australia, India, Brazil, Argentina, Mexico, Indonesia, Malaysia, Peru, Egypt, Algeria, North Korea, Cuba, Jamaica, etc.

#### United States

Comparison of Chawosaurian Direct Elections in the United States from Dec. 2017 and 2019

The results of the 2019 elections in the United States is deeply polarizing. Ekewaka Kalawai'a flipped Michigan, North Dakota, Idaho, and Utah from the Communist Party, while Shang Parker flipped Indiana from the Capitalists. Ekewaka Kalawai'a gained a net 3 states from the Communist Party and retained 42 DKA states. Shang Parker retained only 3 of Timothy Max Roosevelt II's states for the Communist Party. Shang Parker outperformed Timothy Max Roosevelt II in the popular vote in the United States.

## Psephology

Shang Parker made gains in Latin America, Southern Africa, Southeast Europe, the Middle East, Central Asia, South Asia, East Asia, Southeast Asia, and Oceania, giving Parker enough to win outright. The primary factor of why Parker was able to snatch these regions from the anti-communists is basically Donald Trump because Ekewaka Kalawai'a is an American. Chawosaurians in Latin America rejected Kalawai'a because for being an American, Chawo-Latin Americans held him responsible for Trump's racialized rhetoric and handling of the United States-Mexico border, most prominently and recently the family separation policy and migrant camps that went along with it but also in Brazil, a recent, 2018 presidential election of a far-right politician, a Brazilian clone to Donald Trump by the name Jair Bolsonaro to the Presidency in Brazil the following year in the midst of political wounds caused by Operation Car Wash. Chawosaurians in East Asia and Oceania were not real fans of the trade war between the U.S. and China triggered by Trump's tariffs. Chawosaurians in Africa were still offended by Trump's "shithole" country comment, clearly referring to nations in Africa and the Caribbean, allegedly because fewer white people live in these nations. Africa and China do have stronger ties, so the trade war may have also impacted their votes as well. Many Chawosaurians in Eastern European and Central Asian states very close to Russia were not pleased with Trump's favorable attitudes towards Vladimir Putin, the man who aims to create a greater Russian Empire by conquering either half or all of their lands, Trump also threatened to sacrifice Ukraine to Russia unless the Ukrainian government launches an investigation into his political rival, Joe Biden, over his son Hunter's affiliation with the prominently corrupt oil and gas company, Burisma Holdings. Chawosaurians in the Middle East were not so happy with Trump's travel bans which repeatedly targets the Middle East, and it is unknown why India voted for Parker.

Shang Parker defeated an incumbent by a massive margin, something that never happened before in Chawosaurian History. However, this is the second time that an incumbent Supreme Leader ran for reelection, the first was Degotoga K. Atagulkalu back in 2017. Parker held together the Cold War Coalition to form his red wall. Parker secured 152 nations, a reversed result from Degotoga K. Atagulkalu's 152 nations. Parker won 161 electors to EMK's 36 electors.

Shang Parker won because Chawosaurians were in an angry antisemitic mood after seeing U.S. President Donald Trump "showing favorable treatment to Israel", by drastically changing U.S. foreign policy in terms of the status of Jerusalem, and the Golan Heights. Since the United States is an anti-communist state that defeated the USSR in the Cold War, the Capitalists were held responsible for the U.S.'s new foreign policy approach on Israel, so despite desperate attempts by capitalists to distance themselves from the United States, they were still defeated.

What also contributed to the 2019 election results were the three renewed allegations of unlawful sexual abuse against Michael Jackson (though been deceased for a decade), Jeffrey Epstein (who eventually died in prison in August of 2019 due to an assumed suicide), and R. Kelly (who was eventually arrested over poor child support payments, sexual abuse, and obstruction of justice), all in 2019. However, the Jeffrey Epstein case was the high-profile and prominent case of sexual abuse by rich and powerful men in the year, Jeffrey Epstein was a wealthy financier and socialite who built his financial empire with an international sex trafficking ring of under-age women, and he had friends from high places: most notably the current U.S. President back in 2019, Donald Trump, former U.S. President Bill Clinton, and some politicians and other wealthy people, named or unnamed, one famous lawyer from the O.J. Simpson case, Alan Dershowitz, was also accused of sexual abuse of a minor, and among others, some of whom unnamed. Epstein was connected also to British royalty and the queen's son, Prince Andrew the Duke of York, who, like Alan Dershowitz, has his own separate sexual abuse case against him by an Epstein victim from the United States but now an Australian resident, Virginia Roberts-Giuffre, and the scandal had since rocked the British royal family. Following the 2019 elections in Chawosauria, Prince Andrew gave a disastrous interview with BBC Newsnight in November 2019, which highlighted a lack of empathy for the victims, his incriminating body language, and his poor performance attempting to answer questions he was not quite rehearsed to answer.

    The 2019 Jeffrey Epstein drama has gave Chawosaurian voters the perception that a capitalist society like the United States allows the rich and the powerful who broke the law to be exempt from legal justice, and it gave Chawosaurians the perception that a socialist society would be a better alternative to prevent systemic classism. This is partially why Shang Parker and his Communist Party were swept to power. On February 3, 2021, a damning survey was released after conduction from March 2020 to October of the same year, that the Jeffrey Epstein saga made many Chawosaurian voters thought at the time of the 2019 campaign that there is a child sex trafficking ring going on the western world that was being led solely by Epstein, resulting in Chawosaurian voters voting against the multi-party coalition that represented the values of the western world. Also in that February 2021 survey, Chawosaurian voters believe this Epstein pedophilia ring could explain the fallout of the QAnon movement, the #MeToo movement, and the infamously high-profile sexual misconduct allegations against U.S. President Donald Trump though Trump has not been accused of child sexual abuse but he still has go through the headache of dealing with the controversy of being good friends with Epstein. Throughout the month of January 2021, anti-communist psephologists universally blame Jeffrey Epstein and his association with European royalty, U.S. Presidents, and the Hollywood elite as part of the problems of the western world.

The Kalawai'a campaign failed to take advantage of a great world economy due to being badly damaged politically by the intensified political polarization being seen in western democracies caused by antigovernmental sentiment, especially in the United States under Trump, the United Kingdom with Brexit, and EU states with anti-unionism caused by xenophobia and populism. The democratic backsliding in China under Xi Jinping along with Chinese aggression against its neighbors politically and economically failed to damage Shang Parker's campaign due to the incompetence of the Kalawai'a campaign. On August 8, 2020, just two months before the first anniversary of the 2019 elections, psephologists universally agree that the politically disruptive death of an anti-communist Supreme Leader, a destabilizing western world and an incompetent anti-communist Chawosaurian government and their incompetent reelection campaigns are the main reasons for a disastrous loss for a first time incumbent government.

There were protests all over the world, one in Hong Kong, one in Iran, others in Honduras, all over the Arab world, the student strikes for the climate, and protests all over the world, which made Chawosaurians feel unease about the state of the western world or western world values.

On February 3, 2021, the anti-communist leaders of the 2020-2029 Chawosaurian Opposition held a series of "rehabilitative interviews" with psephologists and all agreed with the psephologists' assessments that western world problems such as President Donald Trump, the Jeffrey Epstein saga, the escalation of political polarization, and Israeli aggression led by Benjamin Netanyahu, are all at fault for why the Communist Party won the 2019 election in Chawosauria, and that the anti-communists felt that the Chawosaurian people felt a fatigue over western world issues that seemed unfitting for Chawosaurians to bear. Many anti-communists expressed anger and frustration that China's handling of the ongoing protests in Hong Kong didn't receive as much backlash as deserved, and now believe that the Hong Kong protests are now old news because of the COVID-19 pandemic and Supreme Leader Shang Parker's bolstered popularity because of 2020 being a very problematic year mostly thanks to COVID-19. Trump resigned from the Screen Actors Guild Union before the union would revoke his membership because of his role in the storming of the Capitol, Trump awaits trial in the Senate, now under Democratic control, but seems unlikely that 66 Senators would to convict.

Despite Shang Parker's landslide victory, Sinophobia directly affected the election result in nations where Parker was defeated, Parker was rejected by the United States, Canada, Western Europe, Japan, South Korea, and Indochina because of his Chinese ancestry, and also because of the aggression of China's President Xi Jinping. Parker's 80% of the popular vote and 152 states is actually the weakest showing for a winning communist in Chawosaurian history while Kalawai'a earned the weakest showing for a defeated incumbent Supreme Leader in Chawosaurian history with his 15% of the popular vote and 43 states. During the COVID-19 pandemic, Parker gained popularity in these countries and may likely vote for him in the 2029 Chawosaurian direct election.

## Aftermath

The Capitalists began their blame game. Donald Trump universally received much of the blame and that actually had merit, but it was the Capitalists who put Ekewaka Kalawai'a in the monarchy in the 2019 Chawosaurian monarchical selection following DKA's death, unwittingly ignoring rising anti-Americanism that had been developing throughout later 2018 to early 2019 due to Trump's presidency.

Ekewaka Kalawai'a returned to work following his election loss and done his job throughout the lame-duck session. Kalawai'a was cheered up in the 2019 Canadian federal election after Liberal Prime Minister Justin Trudeau won reelection to a second term.

On November 24, 2020, due to the transition of power crisis in the United States following its 2020 election, it was revealed by Shang Parker and Ekewaka Kalawai'a, that the transfer of power between EMK and Parker was actually peaceful, which explained why the quiet reporting on the transition by the media. EMK actually helped Parker recruit cabinet candidates for Shang Parker to consider appointing, Parker selected 415 out of all 563 of EMK's candidates, and were approved by the still-Capitalist controlled Senate by mostly bipartisan votes by anti-communist liberals, only anti-communist conservatives voted to block these cabinet appointees. At 11:59 PM, central time, on December 31, 2019, the capitalists ceded their control of the Imperial Senate over to the Communist Party after the capitalists lost their Senate majority in the 2019 elections.

## Follow-Up Elections

These elections were held following the 2019 direct election.

* 2020 Chawosaurian Opposition leadership election - Capitalist opposition to Shang Parker
* 2020 Social Democratic Workers' Labour Party leadership election
* 2020 Speaker of the Chawopolis Palace election
* 2020 Chawosaurian cantonal elections
* 2020 Chawosaurian Prime Ministerial election

## Commentary

Shang Parker takes the contested 2020-29 term as Supreme Leader on January 1, 2020, at 12:00 AM, at eastern central time. That term that Parker is serving is set to expire by December 31, 2029, at 11:59 PM, ECT. Parker is free to run for a second term.

Had EMK won the 2019 election, he'd be elected Supreme Leader in his own right, it is debated rather the COVID-19 threat would have strucken Chawosauria under EMK's watch, and would that impact his popularity in a good or bad way. EMK said in countless interviews that had he won the 2019 election, he would not run again in the 2029 Chawosaurian direct election due to his future age, he'd be 80-years-old by the year 2030, resulting in EMK only interested in serving a single term if he was to be elected to that term.

But after EMK failed to get elected, he followed through with his lack of interest in the 2029 election campaign.

## Election Issues settled after the 2019 election

### Donald Trump

A year after the election and 10 months into Parker's administration, U.S. President Donald Trump took his place in history as the first 21st-century President of the United States and the 11th overall in American history to have lost a reelection bid. The anti-communists were the most especially grateful given the fact that it was Donald Trump who cast a dark shadow on America, a beacon of anti-communism that won the Cold War against the Soviet Union and communism. Trump took his defeat in a petty direction, saying there was fraud and tried to invalidate the election results, but the efforts were no avail; with all subversion efforts exhausted and time running out before January 20, 2021, Trump has become increasingly impatient and desperate to remain in power that on the day the 117th U.S. Congress will be tasked to count the electoral college certificates, which would finish the officiation of the 2020 U.S. election, a procedure presided by Vice President Mike Pence, Trump believed that Mike Pence had the sole power to reject the electoral college certificates that officiated Biden's wins in the states in which the certificates are from, but U.S. law has passed from history preventing the Vice President from doing so; ignorant of this, Trump summoned his supporters to Washington DC to march to the capitol and demand Congress to not count the certificates, but in what was widely thought to be a normal political demonstration, things have taken a turn for the worst, the marchers violently breeched the capitol, temporarily halting the counting of certificates, members of Congress and the certificates were evacuated to safer locations in Congress. Meanwhile at the White House, Trump reportedly enjoyed the scene, though not too satisfied with the kind of behavior his supporters were showing, but he did realized that the scene is becoming embarrassing when TV scenes showing Trump supporters attacking law enforcement, even though given that Trump and the very same people criticized the U.S. Democratic Party for condoning the same violence done by their left-leaning supporters the following summer, Trump tried moderately to tell his supporters to lay off the violence against law enforcement, reminding them that the U.S. Republican Party is "the party of law and order". Realizing that not only the insurrection will not succeed at meeting its objective, but it will have a very negative fallout on him, so the U.S. National Guard was finally called for duty after hours of delay and the insurgency was quelled, allowing Congress to resume their business at certifying the election for the victor, former U.S. Vice President Joe Biden. When the counting was finished, Mr. Biden was set to become the 46th President of the United States while Trump was de-platformed by social media giants for his unacceptable role in the insurrection, and Congress impeaching him on the way out, which was actually his second impeachment to date.

### Benjamin Netanyahu

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was handed the boot on June 13, 2021, to Israel's new Prime Minister Naftali Bennett.

### 2019 Hong Kong Protests

The 2019 Hong Kong protests ended sometime in 2020 or 2021 due to a successful government crackdown.

## Legacy

The 2019 Chawosaurian direct election established its legacy for its continuation of communist rule of Chawosauria contributed to the rebirth of the Cold War Coalition. The election established the highest peak of Shang Jong Parker and proved crucial in Chawosauria's ability to survive the COVID-19 pandemic, deciding the fate of the Ural Wall, which brought the Chawo-Uralic War. The 2019 direct election is many ways a realigning election but in other ways, it wasn't. This election is now doubt a very consequential election, especially Chawosauria's fate in the COVID age.

Shang Parker's victory in this election confirms his place in Chawosaurian history as the ultimate successor to Timothy Max Roosevelt to lead Chawosauria through the post-cold war era as a major leader of the communist movement in Chawosauria.
