This is a politics-vigilante vignette inspired by the modern film Capitalism: A Love Story.

Selina Kyle was an American civil servant who started dressing up as Catwoman (DC Comics) and throwing Apple Jacks cereal at crowds at nightclubs and wandering the streets of NYC on weekend evenings. Catwoman's intention was to cause a general 'ruckus' about consumerism-consciousness and the gluttony and moral malaise it created in modern America. Mostly, Catwoman was dissatisfied with the Trump Administration and 'TrumpUSA.'
Catwoman was now being challenged by a new male vigilante named Alas who was calling himself the Rainbow Bat-Thing (or 'Rainbow-Knight'). Rainbow-Knight was using pop psychology iconography to suggest that the flaw in TrumpUSA was not commerce/consumerism but bigotry and biased economic policies. Rainbow-Knight was concerned about the impoverished sector of American society and how the homeless would be counted as the singular failure of the overall 'American Empire.'
The stage was set for a cataclysmic 'battle' between a home-grown vigilante-nut woman named Selina/Catwoman and an informed and rather clever leftist-politics incendiary named Rainbow-Knight. The two spent hours cutting colored-paper and making spiral-dragon designs symbolizing modernism labyrinths which exhibited alarming geometrics and created all kinds of 'idealized-forms' superstitions (e.g., mermaids, aliens). Catwoman and Rainbow-Knight were distributing their paper-craft designs on the World Wide Web, mostly because there was very little supervision over Internet-blogging (in most cases!).
Ironically, both Catwoman and Rainbow-Knight were working with multicolour-art and ended up butting heads with the LGBT community in Washington who were lobbying usually with their signature multicoloured rainbow logo! The LGBT representatives were displeased with the use of rainbow-art by both Catwoman and Rainbow-Knight and wanted a special D.C. lobby on their behalf. Unfortunately, there was very little interest in the comic book subculture to offer Catwoman and Rainbow-Knight sufficient pedestrian support for their 'pseudo-fantasy-heroism' crusades in the name of 'consumerism-reformation.' The LGBT simply didn't want their rainbow logo tarnished by 'underground rhetoric.'
Everything seemed cool until the terrorist attack on the Seattle Space Needle on Valentine's Day 2018 by ISIS (the Middle-Eastern radical-fundamental Islamic group). As the Space Needle came crashing down, Catwoman remarked that mob monuments were no longer being 'properly honored,' and Rainbow-Knight wanted a new tower 'resurrected' in its place but one colored like the rainbow! This was typical 'Trump Dystopia,' and those who wandered through the media-awakened administration of only America's 2nd celebrity-president (after Ronald Reagan) wondered if they would mindlessly witness the inception of a 'newer' form of Reaganomics --- Trumponomics! Even Republicans started missing Bill Clinton.
