The West Wing will be Congress, the East Wing will be the Supreme Court, both hand picked by the Supreme Leader.

The Lincoln Memorial will be torn down and replaced by the secret police, the reflecting pond containing cooling water for their massive data center.

The rest of Washington D.C. will be sold off to billionaires who will rename institutions like the Smithsonian after themselves, or tear them down to build luxury apartments and hotels for the Chosen.

The Washington Monument will be renamed for the Supreme Leader and plated in actual gold. It will also serve as the site for nationally televised executions.

Sigh...

Imagining dystopias is so damned easy.
