==== Civil Unrest ====
Despite their benevolent rule, discontent had long been rising against the '''Mod Team''' or the '''Party'''. On March 4, '''Koknese''', a notable '''Revolutionary''' leader during '''the War...''', created the '''SwagBalls Shartyist Party''' (<b style="color:#ff0000">SSP</b>), with the stated mission of eradicating political discussion, having fun, and doing stuff.<ref>'''Koknese''' (March 4, 2024): <br>
guys let's just create a swagballs political party<br>
- it will eradictae irl political discussion<br>
- it's fun<br>
- we get to do stuff<br>
''69SwagBalls420 Cord'' '''#🔪-girards-torture-chamber'''.
</ref> Soon after, '''Charter''' decided to open an opposing party, the '''SwagBalls Booru Party''' (<b style="color:#ff0000">SBBP</b>), yet realizing that their similarities made them closer than their differences could ever break them apart, the parties merged, forming the '''SwagBalls Sharty Booru Party''' (<b style="color:#ff0000">SSBP</b>). 
[[File:SSBPLogo.png|left|thumb|The party logo of the <b style="color:#ff0000">SSBP</b>, designed by '''Koknese'''.]]
Vowing to fight against perceived injustice placed on the server by the new, unpopular rules, the <b style="color:#ff0000">SSBP</b> posted a political manifesto,<ref> '''Koknese''' (March 8, 2024): [https://discord.com/channels/938728183203758080/1214231022678315108/1215704911723888731 JOIN SSBP, FIGHT FOR SSBP!] ''69SwagBalls420 Cord'' '''#🤬-ssbp'''.</ref> intending on spreading the message of fighting for the right to, among others, say KYS ironically<ref group=note>Fighting a ban imposed by rule '''2.5'''.</ref> and gamble again, in addition to making the '''#admin-family-guy-roleplay''' public. While radical members have been found responsible for hate crimes against '''Homestuckers''', against whom there has been a growing sentiment, the activities of the <b style="color:#ff0000">SSBP</b> did not help them recruit new members, and although their membership count remained stable, the movement was expected to fade into obscurity.

==== Dissolution of Parliament ====
[[File:SDPLogoSB.png|left|thumb|131x131px|The logo of the <b style="color:#660080">SDP</b>, designed by '''Chauka'''. The three downvotes stand for the fight against chuddiness, dictatorship and censorship.]]
While the radicalism of the <b style="color:#ff0000">SSBP</b> did not appeal to every voter, opposition against the '''Party''' grew when '''Chauka''' decided to open her own political party. Christened the '''Democratic Party of SwagBalls''' (<b style="color:#660080">DPoS</b>), the name was soon changed to the '''SwagBalls Democratic Party''' (<b style="color:#660080">SDP</b>) with the release of its manifesto,<ref>'''Chauka''' (March 12, 2024): [https://discord.com/channels/938728183203758080/1217194323104366693/1217197455582695495 the basic beliefs of the <b style="color:#660080">SDP</b> are ones of freedom of expression while retaining an enjoyable experience] ''69SwagBalls420 Cord'' '''#😺-sdp-↓↓↓'''.</ref> calling for the democratization of server rule, the opening of a political channel, and loosening of the word filter to allow for free '''Homestuck''' expression, as the party strictly condemned discrimination.
[[File:TBPWIFSLogo.png|left|thumb|131x131px|The party logo of <b style="color:#00CC99">TBPWIFS</b>, designed by '''Shitmaster LarKcuavian'''.]]
The <b style="color:#660080">SDP</b> was soon joined by '''The Best Party, Which I Fully Support''' (<b style="color:#00CC99">TBPWIFS</b>), led by '''Shitmaster LarKcuavian OKctavio De Willis Gimblejrad Gungdimyr Flemtoto The 603st''', claiming to be the one true prophet of '''girard''', who believed that the true problem that had befallen '''SwagCord''' was amount of '''swag giving''' that was happening lately, as clearly ironic speech was stifled by it being taken seriously. In a list of demands, <b style="color:#00CC99">TBPWIFS</b> called for a crackdown on seriousposting and loosening of the anti-harassment rules, believing them to be overbroad, while wishing to place tighter restrictions on '''Homestuckers'''. Initially promising to ban minors from the server, he retracted it from the list of demands after finding no good way to implement it.<ref> '''Shitmaster LarKcuavian''' (March 13, 2024): "Decided to remove the anti-minor part of the demands, as I can't find a good way to implement that" ''69SwagBalls420 Cord'' '''#👁-tbpwifs'''.</ref>

The '''Party''', realizing that there was no stopping the rising discontent, made the decision to dissolve '''Parliament''', announcing the first democratic elections in '''SwagBalls''' history.<ref> '''Walter''' (March 13, 2024): "The Party has officially dissolved the People's Parliament and has announced that elections will be held on Sunday, March 17. Televised debates between the highest-polling candidates will occur on March 14 and March 16. Long live SwagCord! Long live the Party! Long live Big Brother!" ''69SwagBalls420 Cord'' '''#❗-announcements'''. </ref> Set to be held on '''March 17''', they would be preceded by two debates between the candidates.

==== Snowball Effect ====
[[File:LPDFLogo.png|left|thumb|136x136px|The logo of the <b style="color:#DDDD00">LPDF</b>, designed by '''Lin'''.]]
[[File:SASPLogo.png|left|thumb|136x136px|The logo of <b style="color:#66FFFF">SASP</b>, designed by '''Ballistyx'''. ]]
[[File:FUNLogo.png|left|thumb|136x136px|The logo of the <b style="color:#CC66FF">FUN</b> party, chosen by '''Barley'''.]]

With the elections in full swing, many new parties started to spring up, although unable to achieve the same level of popular success as the already established opposition.

The '''Lininist Party for Democracy and Freedom''' (<b style="color:#DDDD00">LPDF</b>), taking its name from its leader, '''Lin''', wished to loosen the chat filter and introduce a channel for the discussion of politics. Strongly pro-democratic, the <b style="color:#DDDD00">LPDF</b> wished to implement a system where the '''Party''' would handpick candidates to participate in the elections, in order to protect the nation against political threats. Running on a platform similar to the <b style="color:#660080">SDP</b>, the main difference between the two was that '''Lin''' was the one to be placed in power.<ref>'''Lin''' (March 13, 2024), in response to "slightly altered sdp": "but I'm the one in power instead" ''69SwagBalls420 Cord'' '''#🌐-lpdf'''.</ref>

The '''Swag and Security Party''' (<b style="color:#66FFFF">SASP</b>), led by '''Ballistyx''', sought to stomp out chuddery and increase '''Mod-Prole''' cooperation by establishing a volunteer watchguard that would report any suspicious activities to the server leadership. Despite allegations, independent fact-checkers have concluded that this was not a fed operation to influence server political discourse, and that '''Ballistyx''''s high-ranking status in the '''Party''' did not influence the <b style="color:#66FFFF">SASP</b> party's integrity in any way.

The '''Firetamers United Nation''' (<b style="color:#CC66FF">FUN</b>), started by '''Barley''', got its name from its dedication to the fight against '''FIRE''' ('''F'''ights, '''I'''nsults, and '''R'''eckless '''E'''vils), wishing to put an end to negative behavior which had plagued the server for so long to make the server a more '''FUN''' place to use, encouraging stronger community participation in making it happen.

The '''Anti-Swag Militia''' ('''ASM'''), a double-plus-orthodox Moexist-Lesterist paramilitary group led by '''Kelpwave''', split off from the '''Party''' leadership, believing that the '''Party''' had led the server far astray from its original goals, leading to the rise of chuddery and collective '''swag giving'''. Its military actions, however, were not fully successful, and the movement was soon co-opted by the larger '''Party''' from which the movement had split off. The remaining members merged with the <b style="color:#DDDD00">LPDF</b>, fighting with the Lininist cause against the status quo.

==== The First Debate ====
The first debate of the March 2024 election cycle was held on '''March 14''', at '''20:20 GMT'''. Going into the debates without any front-running candidate, the <b style="color:#ff0000">SSBP</b>, the <b style="color:#660080">SDP</b> and the <b style="color:#DDDD00">LPDF</b>, having formed the <b style="color:#FFC000">SSU</b> coalition ('''SwagBalls Shartyist Union'''), soon renamed to the <b style="color:#FFC000">LSSU</b> ('''Lininist SwagBalls Shartyist Union'''), minutes prior to the debate,<ref> "@Walter the ssbp, the sdp, and the lpdf have officially merged into the SSU (swagballs shartyist union)" ''69SwagBalls420 Cord'' '''#⭐-patriot-chat'''. </ref> instead of picking a candidate internally, decided to have all of their candidates on stage for the night to have the voter decide instead. '''Chauka''' dropped out of the race, throwing her support for the newly formed union.

Moderated by the politically fair and unbiased '''Decoherence''', the debate featured '''Big Brother (Walter)''', the incumbent leader running for election, <b style="color:#FFC000">LSSU</b> candidates '''Koknese''', '''Charter''' and '''Lin''', leading the opposition, as well as '''Shitminister LarKcuavian''', slowly rising in the polls. Other candidates were invited but were unable to join. After technical problems at the beginning were resolved by always glorious '''Big Brother''', whereby every candidate was allowed to speak at the same time, candidates were given questions to be answered one at a time.

Asked about what his opinion was on the '''Homestuck''' issue, '''Koknese''' stood against the issue but stated that it should be resolved through democratic means, personally wishing to implement a [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Don%27t_ask,_don%27t_tell don't ask, don't tell] policy and segregate them into their own channel. With '''Koknese''' firmly standing in support for '''Homestucker''' segregation, calling it "morally correct"<ref>'''Koknese''' (March 14, 2024), in response to "Do you think segregation is wrong?": <br>
"no it is morally correct <br>
depending on who you segregate" ''69SwagBalls420 Cord'' '''#🤓-debate-channel'''.</ref>
, '''Lin''', the leader of the <b style="color:#DDDD00">LPDF</b>, split off from the <b style="color:#FFC000">LSSU</b> minutes into the debate after hearing the answer, standing firmly pro-'''Homestuck'''. '''Charter''', claiming that the <b style="color:#ff0000">SSBP</b> had been bastardized by '''Koknese''''s radical beliefs<ref>'''Charter''' (March 14, 2024): "[...] i’ve been making consistent effort to convey my political endeavors and move toward something equitable for all people, koknese has been holding me back with his radical beliefs. i honestly wanted to kick him out for a while. this is what the SSBP was created to be. not what koknese bastardized it into" ''69SwagBalls420 Cord'' '''#🤓-debate-channel'''.</ref> left the coalition as well. The <b style="color:#FFC000">LSSU</b> coalition completely fell apart within 10 minutes of the debate starting.

'''Yeetmaster''', an <b style="color:#ff0000">SSBP</b> member who was believed not to be able to attend, joined the debate after the coalition had already fully collapsed, already not having been part of the coalition talks, communicating through a 7-year-old tablet. Disregarding a minor incident where an old man wandered onto the debate stage, the debate continued. '''Koknese''' further called for "lynching" server members by democratic vote, wishing to implement a '''Chudledsky™ Score''' system, intended to keep track of chuddery and allow for server members themselves to pit users after guilt was determined. With the first debate proving itself to be a disaster for the <b style="color:#FFC000">LSSU</b>, '''Walter''', when asked which of the other candidates he supported most, threw his support behind '''Shitmaster LarKcuavian'''.

Shortly after the debate, Koknese established the SwagBalls political theory, and it is as follows;

- Paleo-Shartyism - SSBP Values, focus on total homestuck eradication and power to the proles. Inherits some Revolutionary ideas.
- Shartyism - TBPWIFS Values, focus on religion and total girard rule
- Neo-shartyism - LSSU Values, focus on total freedom to discuss homestuck, oppose everything that SSBP stands for.

==== Post-Debate Fallout ====
[[File:SSBP supporters.png|thumb|225x225px|Radical supporters of the <b style="color:#ff0000">SSBP</b> chanting in support of '''Koknese''' in front of '''#admin-family-guy-roleplay'''.]]
Widely believed to be one of the worst campaign blunders in the history of elections, the <b style="color:#ff0000">SSBP</b> never fully recovered from the political fallout birthed from '''Koknese''''s anti-'''Homestuck''' comments. While most of the former <b style="color:#ff0000">SSBP</b> electorate had switched to the newly formed <b style="color:#FFC000">LSSU</b>, without the <b style="color:#ff0000">SSBP</b>, statements in support of segregation and lynching led to the consolidation of the radical wing of the party, which stayed firmly in support of '''Koknese''''s policies. While '''Koknese''' has claimed that there was a word mix-up due to English being his second language, believing to be a complete synonym for "execution", without knowledge of the term's [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lynching racist past], the radical beliefs of the <b style="color:#ff0000">SSBP</b> continued to turn off voters.

'''Yeetmaster''', not wishing to associate with the <b style="color:#ff0000">SSBP</b> in light of the debate, decided to run as an independent, gaining moderate support even without a party to back him. A political moderate, supporting a fairer judicial system without favoritism and more government transparency, his campaign, while somewhat successful, was unable to draw many votes from the radical <b style="color:#ff0000">SSBP</b> base.

'''Charter''', the elected leader of the reformed <b style="color:#FFC000">LSSU</b>, is thrown into '''the pit''' in order to prevent escalating political violence after calling opposition leader '''Koknese''' a "fucking idiot". He is released soon after, and is invited to the second debate on '''March 16'''.

==== The Second Debate ====

The second debate was set to start on '''March 16''' at '''3:00 PM GMT''', with all candidates in the race being invited. Due to a variety of circumstances, however, it was only '''Walter''' who showed up on time, and the debate started without any other candidate being present. The battle of wits with his greatest opponent, himself, soon ended as '''Charter''' arrived late, still on time to answer the first question. The candidates continued pouring in, as '''Shitmaster LarKcuavian''' soon joined to attend the debate as well, having just woken up, followed by '''Koknese''', who would be the last candidate to arrive for the debate, having driven through the Latvian cold to bring medication to a family member. Other candidates reported work and oversleeping as the main reason for their absence.

Generally of a calmer atmosphere than the first one, no great scandal plagued the debate, which was set to end with the official opening of the election polls, giving one final chance for all the candidates to make their case for themselves and to tend to wounds given to their campaign over the past days. '''Koknese''' formally apologized for his usage of the word "lynching" in his policies on the same stage that caused a party split just two days prior, giving a more moderate tone to his campaign and attempting to appeal to progressives by endorsing the usage of tone indicators<ref group=note>/s, /j, /srs and the like. </ref> to protect the right to tell others to kill themselves.

The debates concluded in high spirits with a beautiful message from '''Big Brother''',<ref group=note>Despite complaints, independent fact-checkers have found no bias in this statement.</ref> followed immediately after by the opening of the '''#🎫-voting-booth'''. The closed-ballot elections were to be open for the following 36 hours, without even the '''Inner Party Members''' having access to the results before they closed. The political atmosphere, for a short while, calmed down, as the server members eagerly awaited the results.

Despite the glaring success of the democratic experiment, electing a leader supported by a ''plurality'' of the people, the representatives from many of the losing parties were quick to call the elections into question, deeming them unfair and throwing out the results. With a message announcing the reformation of the '''Revolutionaries'''<ref> '''Koknese''' (March 19, 2024) [https://discord.com/channels/938728183203758080/938728183203758082/1219012365471977502 We the People] ''69SwagBalls420 Cord'' '''#❗-announcements'''. </ref> making waves, it was clear that the democracy the '''Party''' had fought so hard to create was threatened by radicals. With the most destructive members given temporary timeouts, it was clear that the core issue was being ignored. Attempting to quell discontent, '''Shitmaster LarKcuavian OKctavio De Willis Gimblejrad Gungdimyr Flemtoto The 603st''', who had shown his support for democratic ideals by deciding not to participate in the protests against the rightful rulers of '''SwagCord''', was named '''Vice-Swagsident''', reaching a combined popular vote of 50%.

While the '''Walter-LarKcuavian government''' was sworn into office without bloodbath, calls against the two continued into their term, with '''Shitmaster LarKcuavian''', the lead reformer as chosen by the people, being called a populist and a '''Party''' bootlicker. Nonetheless, the '''Vice-Swagsident''' opted to go the route of not giving a swag in the face of these baseless attacks, and decided to focus his time on helping change the nation for the better before the next elections put his popularity to the test. As a possible '''Chudfederacy secession''' loomed on the horizon, securing support remained key.

==== Outer Heaven: Ragecord ====
After extreme dissatisfaction with the "god complex" of the vice-swagsident, Koknese, yeetmaster and Charter decided to create a branch of SwagCord called the Ragecord. It is a discord server that's main theme is 2008 larp with ragecomics and Justin Bieber hatred.

Koknese, after finding out what other members were saying about them while Koknese and Charter were offline, have truly committed to making the ragecord their new home. Koknese set the ideology of "crossbreeding meme cultures and uniting them in ragecomics", which included advertising the server om various platforms to achieve maximum diversity in humor and in hopes to create hybrid memes that would get more members into their community. The server is advertised in SpaceHey and Tumblr.

Like the aforementioned "crossbreeding", the trio also brought in some of their Swagballs culture to the table. The server quickly had summoned Girards' cousin - Reginald, which apparently, Girard despises. Meme Alt has also given Koknese the source code for the SwagBalls bot and he quickly edited it and established the Ragecord equivalent of pitting practices - tickets to Justin Bieber performances.

The trio also vowed to leave Swagballs once they gain a stable, active member count, each with their own reasons - one maybe feels slightly offended by the shittalking, others may also be tied with the god complex of Larkc.

Ragecord has merged with Hellcord, an inactive, 500 user filled subreddit/server. SwagBalls politologists and forecasters have projected Ragecord to reach a minimum of 200~  members until late August.
