Meet the President of the United States, circa 2048.Most social issues had been resolved for the most part. Poverty, privacy rights, racism, marriage rights for all, along with most other social inequities had long dissolved as older generations died off, and their outdated policies with them. With the discovery of the Hephret Scrolls (commonly known as the "Rainbow Scrolls") in 2015, effectively "outing" Jesus as a gay black man, the various Christian churches were forced to confront a profound misreading of their faith. This resulted in the slow but eventual dismantling of prejudices and preconceptions based on race, gender, and sexual identity.
Combined with the anonymous "donation" of universal education that began in 2020, (allowing anyone residing in the country regardless of citizenship a full ride to any school or college) the United States began an intellectual, spiritual and creative Renaissance that continues to this day.
Class struggles, no longer over information and education, meant that the concept of "The American Dream" shifted from amassing wealth, to knowledge and understanding. This new "dream" resulted in a hyper-educated citizenry full of ideas, virtually eliminating pollution and disease and crime within a single generation.
Instead of wealth determining power, the elite of the elite, were simply the brightest and best. The cream of the new American crop, would rise to lead.
Meet the President of the United States, circa 2048.
She's a Conservative Republican.
