Wabbit founded the Political Ideology of Anarcho-Wabbitism and was a founding member of both the GDS and NDP Parties.

He is represented by Mustbeisaac within the sim.

## Early Life

Wabbit was born into a humble farming family in the town of Dickshooter, Idaho. From a young age, Wabbit was known to be a very smart child and always willing to help others. After graduating high school, Wabbit played a brief stint in the Toon Squad Basketball Team alongside Michael Jordan. After that, he went to college and was able to attain a PhD in every degree known to man, we still don't know how he did it.

After that, Wabbit decided to get into politics.

## Introduction into Politics and as Secretary of Agriculture

Chairman Wabbit rose to prominence as a new face on the Political landscape when he ran for President in the 2004 Election. He was not expected to win as he was new to politics, but ended up winning the Democratic Party nomination. In a close election, he came second to former Vice President Thea "Xandy" OnOpiates. After the election, he was selected by the President to serve as Secretary of Agriculture in their administration.

As Secretary of Agriculture, Wabbit helped to provide food to impoverished cities and helped to make several states into agriculture and farm havens. History books show that he is the most involved and public-facing person to hold the position in history, which undoubtedly helped him in his next run for the presidency.

Around this time, Wabbit left the Democratic Party and became an Independent.

## Second Presidential Campaign

After President Thea decided not to run for a second term, Wabbit was instantly the frontrunner for the position.

Wabbit picked fellow Cabinet member Mia as his running mate for the election.

He was running on a Social Democratic platform that included UBI, Medicare for All, Green New Deal and other progressive policies. He dominated every poll done before the election, and won the endorsement of several former presidents including President Cain and President Thea.

He was running against many other candidates, including Senator Abbey (R). Senator Mark (G), Senator Bonaparte (D) and Sonic HeelyGang (L). The campaign was a very heated one with lots of attacks and insults being thrown.

In the end, Wabbit won the election with Sonic HeelyGang coming in second place. His presidency would begin a period of great hope as well as danger for the American People.

## Presidency

Wabbit's Presidency accomplished many great things for the American people. He was able to pass a UBI bill, Universal Healthcare, Climate policies, and many more. He was willing to work together with other parties to get his agenda passed and help the citizens of the country. After the death of his former rival Senator Abbey, he championed a conservation bill written by the late senator which protected national lands and created new climate regulations.

Wabbit holds the record of the lowest unemployment numbers of any President in history, and the strongest economy.

Despite his accomplishments domestically, foreign relations was a struggle for his administration. But he was able to successfully avert many conflicts. Most notably the Texan and New Mexican Conflicts

## Texas Independence

Wabbit's Secretary of Defense, Aidy Burr, was a trusted member of Wabbit's cabinet. That relationship began to sour when the state of Texas began showing signs of wanting secession. Aidy's hostility towards the Wabbit administration increased over differences in the Texas independence referendum. Aidy supported the rights of Texans to secede from the United States while President Wabbit vehemently opposed secession. Following failed negotiations, Aidy withdrew from the Wabbit administration and forcefully became Dictator of Texas, threatening war if President Wabbit did not agree to see Texas gained full independence. Wabbit agreed to Aidy's terms, and Aidy recruited former President Xandy to serve as his second-in-command, and former Washington Governor Rowan to serve as his official ambassador to the United States.

   Following diplomatic hostility between the 2 countries, and talks of boycotting Texan belt buckles, Aidy began nuclear testing in case of war. After continuing negotiations, President Wabbit agreed to sign an act reinserting Texas independence, and removal of all troops within 200 miles of both their borders.

Wabbit appointed Rowan Marx to be the US Ambassador to Texas.

## New Mexican Crisis

After a referendum held in New Mexico which showed the majority of the population wanted to be a part of Texas, President Wabbit issued a statement publicly opposing the movement, claiming that the referendum was rigged as it was being held by Aidy and Xandy personally. Aidy rejected this notion, claiming the referendum was legitimate. After Aidy's resolution to secede 1/3 the population of New Mexico was unanimously rejected by the United States Senate, Aidy sent Ambassador Rowan (who was revealed to be a double agent) to claim Albuquerque, and hold the city in siege. During Rowan's invasion, Aidy and Wabbit reached an agreement to allow New Mexico to remain part of the union, but to allow free travel association between the citizens of New Mexico and Texas. When Aidy attempted to call Rowan's invasion off, however, Rowan had already claimed the city independently, and seceded from Texas. Aidy then declared a joint war on Rowan's militia alongside President Wabbit, though Texas provided only 1/5th the soldiers the United States did.

Despite this apparent alliance, both countries had backup military plans in case the other decided to break the truce. Wabbit and the Secretary of Transport, Dennes, had planned a full invasion and annexation of Texas, while Aidy only had planned the annexation of New Mexico. Both countries marched on Albuquerque and began to fight Rowan's forces in an effort to reclaim the city.

While under siege, Rowan leaked confidential documents showing Aidy had no interest in solving the crisis, and was only using it as an excuse to gain territory in New Mexico he had no intention of giving back. After Wabbit took notice, he pushed Aidy's troops back into Texas, and fully invaded Albuquerque. Rowan, fearing capture, bombed the city and fled to Egypt.

## The Second Cold War

After the city of Albuquerque was taken back by the US, evidence came to light that foreign nations were aiding Texas in their mission to take states, and plans of similar invasions of US states were revealed. This caused the United Nations to aid the US in defending their territory. Multiple Countries such as Japan and Norway offered troops to the US to defend their borders.

Texas still remained a threat to the US, and border protections ramped up with soldiers on both sides ready to invade at any moment. The conflict reached a boiling point when the countries of Egypt and Kazakstan (who were allied with Texas) began testing nuclear weapons over US waters. The UN condemned the tests and withdrew aid from any country that was a part of the Alliance known as the Rogue Nations.

Rowan Marx was ordering military troops from the safety of Egypt, and the US authorized a Special Ops mission to capture him in order for him to be tried in the International Criminal Court. the mission was successful and he was taken to the UN for sentencing. He was found guilty of war crimes and crimes against humanity and was executed the following year.

After Rowans Death, the Rogue Nations were dissolved and the leaders of each country were either voted out, resigned, or assassinated. Aidy dissolved the Texan State and returned it to US control. Aidy was pardoned for any crimes committed, and was allowed to return to civilian life.

Wabbit felt that he had failed his country in letting Texas secede so he opted not to run for a second term, and left the public eye for more than 20 years. He was succeeded by President Jimmy Carter.

## Activities Outside Politics

After leaving politics, Wabbit retired to his second home in Montana. He felt ashamed for all he had done to the country and needed to get away and be by himself. In his absence, he began learning about Socialism and other political groups of thought and began to identify with more leftist points of view. After about 5 years of focusing on himself and learning about socialism, he became a public advocate for socialism and helped multiple organizations and businesses in Montana and around the country to unionize. He became a labor hero and was looked at favorably by leftists around the world. He stayed in a role like this for roughly 14 more years.

## Return to Politics and Montana Senate Campaign

After multiple different presidential administrations failed to pass meaningful policies that benefited workers, Wabbit felt it was best to come out of retirement and run for office again. He was embraced and welcomed back with open arms.

He joined a newly created leftist party known as the Workers Liberation Party (WLP), and announced a campaign for the Montana Seat. His opponent was a very popular and well known member of the libertarian Collapsifarian Party, Vermin Supreme. Wabbit campaigned on strong labor protections and socialist policies.

He won the election with 51% of the vote and returned to the Capital. During his first term in office, he became a high ranking member of the WLP and gained a leadership position within the party. After the election of President Clinton, it became apparent to Wabbit that a second Clinton term wouldn't be beneficial to the American people. After talking with the WLP, Wabbit suggested they run a candidate against the incumbent president.

After internal conflicts, the WLP dissolved and the Government Does Stuff Party (GDS) was founded by former members of the WLP, including Wabbit's former Secretary of Defense Aidy. Wabbit announced his intention to run for a second term as President.

## GDS Primaries and 2040 Election

In the GDS primaries, Wabbit was up against Louisiana Senator Tag, and Former President Thea who was serving as Senator from Delaware. Wabbit won the GDS primaries handedly and selected 2008 Libertarian Nominee Sonic HeelyGang as his running mate.

Wabbit received lots of scrutiny for challenging an incumbent President, but assured people he was running for the right reasons. Policies he championed during the 2040 campaign included an increase to the UBI payment he passed in his first term, a stronger healthcare system, an end to foreign wars, reparations, and a program he called "Universal Basic Necessities".

Wabbit was seen as an underdog but also a strong contender for the Presidency. Many media pundits and fellow senators expected Wabbit to win a second term. The debates were seen was Wabbit's strongest performance and convinced many voters that Wabbit was going to win the election due to his strong performance against the incumbent President Clinton and the Right wing challenger Romulan.

The Election ended with Wabbit placing second over Clinton, with Romulan coming in first. It came as a shock to many around the nation that Wabbit massively underperformed expectations. Experts attributed it to a split vote caused by 2 left wing candidates against a united right wing. This fact caused tension between the GDS and Bull Moose Party.

Despite losing the election, Wabbit carried 7 states (Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Wisconsin, New York, New Jersey and Maine), and ran the most successful third party candidacy in the history of the US.

## Second Senate Term and 2044 Presidential Campaign

After the Election of President Romulan, the left wing members of the country were at odds. Many blamed Wabbit for running that caused Romulan to win. The 2 parties clashed for about 2 years. in 2042, the US was attacked by terrorists. The President blamed Syria and introduced a declaration of war to Congress. Wabbit and all the members of the GDS fought hard for the US to stay out of the war but the Bull Moose Party Senators were pressured into voting in favor of war, because they didn't want to appear "weak". Due to the declaration of war passing congress, the President authorized nuclear strikes in Syria and Iran. The nuclear bombs resulted in 8 Million civilian non-combatants being killed. This event convinced the GDS and Bull Moose Parties to merge in order to block any further action by the President.

The 2 Parties became the New Democratic Party (NDP), and immediately began their presidential primary elections in order to oust Romulan from the Presidency.

Wabbit announced another run for the presidency and said it would likely be his final run for any office, win or lose. He was putting it all on the line. Other NDP candidates included former VP Teddy Roosevelt, and Texas Senator Beto O'Rourke. After a hard fought battle for the nomination, Wabbit was defeated by Teddy, coming in second. Wabbit accepted defeat although many supporters of his rejected the results of the election. Wabbit campaigned for Teddy and his VP Pick Beto across the country.

In the end, Romulan defeated Teddy in the General Election and won a second term. Shortly after, Wabbit resigned from his Senate seat.

## Death, Conspiracy Theories, and Legacy

On February 15th, 2045 Wabbit was found dead in his home with a gunshot wound to the head. Some speculate he felt guilty about indirectly aiding Romulan's 2040 Presidential Campaign and committed suicide, others say it was an assassination carried out by Clinton. Conspiracy Theorists think Wabbit is actually still alive, and leads a shady organization known as the BoA which allegedly controls the US Government and World events behind the scenes, but no one knows for sure.

After his death, he is still an admired figure within leftist spaces and was used as the mascot for the 2050 Labor Riots. Acting President Alamkan created National Wabbit Day which is celebrated on December 20th.
