Win easily and announce that I wrote it as a parody, mocking people

Then watch it backfire horribly. Conservatives (including those who call themselves libertarian) are blind to satire. You might remember that the_donald was satirical at the start. So was the game Monopoly.

Yeah but Ayn Rand's reputation would be ruined and she would never have started "Objectivisim"

"The question isn't if I am allowed to do these things, but rather who is going to stop me?" - Ayn Rand, not even pretending she isn't the villain.

That question probably hit different in 1955 than it did in 2005

I mean they still had comic book villains back then, didn't they?

My point is not based in comic books

In 1955 the society told everyone don't do shit to change anything. It was a time of restraint and repression.

In 2005 society was in a revolutionary mode and told everyone to question and disrupt everything.

So to tell people to challenge what was allowed in 1955 actulally was a good and vital thing to change society. In 2005 challenging what was allowed was mostly done for personal gain, exploiting the system.
