The Invasion of the Martians
A political allegory... until it isn't
It was a long, hard night of fighting. But at last, the enemy had stopped their onslaught. The Americans had successfully defended against the Martian invasion.

As the news groups started broadcasting to the world, of course they had to make the American defeat of the Martians controversial. Some news groups talked about how amazing it was that the Americans won. Some news groups showed photos of sad little baby Martians.

All the journalists were in disagreement about the battle. Half of them believed in the Martians’ rights, the other half believed in American rights. The Leftists had to blame someone, and the only person they could think to blame was President Trump. "It's all his fault!" they cried, "If Trump hadn't put up a wall around America, these poor Martians would be able to live in America."

The Leftists decided to cut a hole in Trump's wall. Pretty soon, Martians were pouring into America, destroying everything. They mobbed the state capitals, kidnapped all the pets, and ate everything in sight. The conservatives wanted to send them all back to Mars, but the Leftists decided it was a better idea to build 3000 prisons to keep the Martians in.

So pretty soon, every major city in America had a mega prison to keep Martians in. But the conservatives were still not satisfied. "These Martians ate all our cats and dogs just like Trump said they were going to," they protested. "We want them back on Mars NOW."

So they got all the cats on Mars, and they all died.

The Americans were devastated. They decided to get back at the Martians who did this. They took all the Martians’ pets and killed them all2.

This made the Martians pause. These Americans were truly evil and vile. They had heard of the fall of man, but this demonstration of their depravity was a "case closed" for them. Their efforts would be in vain, for the Americans were pure evil. They decided to cut their losses and return to their home planet, now petless, and try and recover what they could of their civilization. This war had no winners, only losers on both sides, but at least most escaped with their lives.

Give Davy Crockett some grace. He’s a younger cousin and new to this story-writing business. :)
I doubt that America would actually do this but okayyyy
