Impeached 2 is an armchair politician's dream. Play today!

In a stunning turn of events that has left political pundits and mobile gamers alike rubbing their eyes in disbelief, the Supreme Court has unanimously ruled that mobile games, particularly those involving in-app purchases, are subject to federal taxation. The decision, which came down like a hammer on a particularly stubborn virtual nail, has sent shockwaves through the gaming community and could potentially reshape the political landscape, especially for the Democrats.

The case, aptly named "Candy Crush vs. Uncle Sam," began when the IRS decided to treat virtual currency earned from mobile games as taxable income. This move was met with a collective groan from the 148 million Americans who, until now, had been blissfully unaware that their digital candy-matching exploits could have real-world financial implications. The gaming industry, which had been raking in an estimated $64.4 billion in revenue in 2020, found itself on the precipice of a fiscal cliff, with a newly minted army of accidental taxpayers at its heels.

But the Supreme Court's decision has turned the tables. The ruling, which was delivered by the enigmatic and often misunderstood Justice Gavelstone, argues that since mobile games are "a form of entertainment with economic implications," they fall under the purview of the Internal Revenue Code. The implications of this decision are vast and multifaceted, potentially leading to a surge in tax revenue that could either be a windfall for the Democrats' spending agenda or a political albatross if mismanaged.

The gaming community, initially outraged, has since mobilized, forming a new political action committee called "Thumb on the Scale." This grassroots organization, which boasts a membership larger than some small countries, is poised to become a significant player in the upcoming elections, with the power to sway the outcome in key battleground states where mobile gaming is as ubiquitous as smartphones.

In response, Democratic candidates have scrambled to address the issue, with some calling for a reassessment of the tax policy while others have embraced the revenue potential. Meanwhile, their Republican counterparts have been notably silent, a move that could be interpreted as either strategic foresight or a monumental blunder.

As the political landscape shifts under the weight of virtual currency and taxation, one thing is clear: the next election cycle will be unlike any other, with mobile gamers holding the high score and the power to influence policy in ways previously unimaginable. The only question left is: Will you press 'Start' on this political game, or will you leave it to chance, hoping that your high score in "Angry Birds" will translate into some form of political clout? Only time, and the Supreme Court, will tell.
