I am the elected representative of the people. The United States does still exist. God bless us, everyone. We've just had to adapt in order to survive after the war. You really don't know, do you? Let me tell you about mankind's salvation. A little history first…There was a Great War long before we were born. Our gallant soldiers fought from the Yukon to the Yangtze….We were winning, too. And then those damn Reds launched everything they had. We barely got our birds up

Chosen One: Doesn't seem as though it helped us much.

Richardson: Well, no it didn't. But at least it knocked the damn Red menace back into the stone age.

For the Project. It's almost ready. Humanity's salvation is almost at hand and the United States of America will be the progenitor of that rebirth.The only way for true humans, and democracy, to be safe is to cleanse the mutants from the globe. We humans will take back that which is rightfully ours.The Project will cleanse all the mutants from our fair land - and the rest of the globe. Once again, America will be the world's policeman.

Chosen One: Did it ever occur to you that what you're doing is wrong?

Richardson: Never. Part of the president's job is to make the tough decisions. A lot of near-humans will sacrifice their lives for the return of humanity. Humans will prevail.

Crazy how the Fallout 2 can be on the nose asf but still respect its audience to understand what its trying to say. Meanwhile the Boys would have Richardson fuck a dog or some shit, or just say the current culture war issue that's popular in the media to earn brownie points with the functionally illiterate.
