Supreme ran again for president in 2020, this time as a Libertarian. This marked the first time that Supreme ran a “legitimate” campaign, focusing on real rather than satirical issues and using the slogan “In On The Joke”. While Supreme continued to use satirical humor, he focused more on legitimate political issues. He called for ending foreign wars and voiced support for pardoning non-violent drug offenders, ending the war on drugs, and reducing incarceration, which he called his top priority. On the COVID-19 pandemic, Supreme criticized President Donald Trump, arguing that he should have paid better attention to the virus and have made testing more widely available. He satirically promised to make COVID-19 illegal and, in a play on his campaign promise to go back in time and “kill baby Hitler,” vowed to go back in time and “kill baby COVID.” He facetiously pledged to create “COVID-19 free zones” because “they work so well for things like guns and drugs.”
Legitimately a better choice than Biden, let alone Trump. (Aside from the third-party-spoiler-effect, of course. He’s apparently running as a Democrat this year, so luckily we don’t have to worry about that this time.)
