Live: Donna Trumm election victory speech
First Federal Broadcasting Channel
Donna Trumm takes the podium. She is wearing a buttoned shirt with a loosened tie and black pants, looking tired but content. The murmur in the crowd goes silent.
"It's been a long night. A long night indeed. For all of us. So, you've all heard the news, I assume? You all read the newspapers? I know I did. On my way here, I bought one. The Implarian Observer. Who buys that thing, you ask? Why do I buy that thing? I know better than anyone else that it's run by a bunch of liars, that it is all fake?
Well, because I wanted to tell you all this morning what they write. Here's what their headline reads: Democrats win election, Hill to become President."
Laughter in the crowd. Then cheering. The cheering becomes louder still, some people are applauding. Then a chant bursts forth and the crowd starts to repeat it over and over:
"Socialism! Socialism! Socialism!"
Trumm gently gestures the crowd to go silent. It obliges.
"Liars and fake stories, through and through. But you all know that. You all know the truth. You all know that it was us who won this election. You all know I will be President. And I will be the best President this Republic has seen. I know that for a fact. I will bring back Socialism to the states and the world as a whole.
They said it can't be done. They said I'd fail in the preliminaries, but I didn't. They said I'd fail against Hill, but I didn't. They say I will fail in repairing this country and bringing back Socialism, but I say again, I won't fail. We won. Yes, we won here and we will win elsewhere.
They call me 'divisive', 'controversial', you know? Say I am too radical, too partisan, can never work with the rest of the system. But I know there are bad and good people everywhere in this country. It was the same in my own party. We had to root out the bad people and work with the good ones to achieve victory for this country, for socialism, for mankind. We will root out the bad people amongst the Social Democrats, too, and work with those good people I know in that party. We will help the social democrats save the social democratic party and then we will, together, save the good people of this country.
This is a victory for decency, for humanity, for socialism. For everyone in this country. And because of that, I will be a president for everyone in this country, too. The extremists who want to divide us lost. The middle ground, politics of the center won.Socialism won. Democracy won. And we will keep winning. We will win victory after victory, until there are no more victories to win.
Together!"
