* ThatOneLevel: The army base is likely the hardest site to infiltrate if you're not simply shooting people on the exit and immediately leaving, as it's large, full of soldiers (who are extremely dangerous, capable of killing armored liberals in a single burst), and has few unarmed conservatives to take hostage. To make things worse, it's your only reliable source of machine gun and flamethrower ammo, so if you're reliant on heavy weapons, you'll have to go there frequently.

* UnintentionalPeriodPiece: The game is obviously based in the post-9/11 Bush-era politics, with many mentions of terrorism and foreign wars. The public figures mentioned in the game are also those who were relevant to that period, with several of them falling off in the following decades.

The game's LCS also takes a harsh stance against nuclear power, whereas contemporary liberals and left-wingers tend to be more split in opinions, with some considering nuclear energy to be the best choice for eco-friendly power.

* HarsherInHindsight: One of the standard methods of affecting public opinions is to engage in mass murder of conservatives. While mass shootings were not unheard of at the time of the game's release, it hits rather differently nowadays, as politically-motivated mass shootings became far more common in USA.

''New Age'', notably, prevents you from engaging in mass shootings due to that, as raising the alarm will make it impossible for you to attack noncombatant conservatives.

** [[KillItWithFire Incendiary weapons]] can set tiles on fire, thus passively damaging conservatives and breaching walls. However, you aren't immune to fire, and molotovs also require your liberals to spend a turn "reloading" after attacking.

From what I understand, 20 years have passed after the original game's release, so I think these tropes are okay
Added DiffLines:
* ValuesResonance: The game's portrayal of a politically polarized USA and domestic terrorism can seem rather prescient, as concerns are raised about these exact issues in the current day. Most of the political issues covered by the game are also still relevant to this day, and the game had a very tolerant portrayal of LGBT people way before it became more mainstream.
